I realize that the margins are being squeezed, ... We have a plan for that.

I would agree with your statement that many of my protagonists are outsiders. I wonder if we all are, and even people who don't think they are, and they're just better at masking it. When we shut our bedroom door at night, however well-integrated we think we are with the rest of society, maybe there's something illusory about that...

With all the families we have coming, we've always been squeezed.

Him being squeezed would be an accurate description.

We're having this process stuffed down our throats. Nothing about this plan is acceptable.

If you don't plan, your golden years aren't going to be very golden.
