Right now though we're recovering from [politics politics politics] and a pandemic that no one could prepare for and put many of those people who used to earn too much to qualify for the stimulus are out of jobs. Thousands of businesses nationwide have closed their doors for good. Thousands have filed for bankruptcy, and put their employees out of work. I'm sorry it's such a GD inconvenience for you. Maybe try living in a country that has a government dictate what you may or may not own, and then you won't have to worry about feeling like somone getting a hand up is getting a single penny more than they "deserve."

From the book that some people really believe. They really believe this. I really believe that no matter how little anyone makes, they can and should always put back money, even if it is only a dollar a week. YES, and that goes for anyone even in business. And that goes for the guy that owns a dry cleaner who bought himself a new Lexus. And they don't go out to eat, they save a little every week. Then people wouldn't go under in a crisis, at least for awhile. I don't want to give a "hand up" to someone who didn't live like I lived all of my life and I still live. Instead of saving money when some gets a windfall, they buy expensive makeup. I don't want to give money to them. No I don't.
