From a friend's experience, some businesses don't want to hire anyone over 60, so after losing their job of 40 years and not their fault, how is one suppose to feed and cloth their children in the meantime. If you can be anything be Kind.
Maybe some of us find YOUR comment disgusting and distasteful. Most of us weren't born with "a silver spoon in their mouths", we worked long and hard to get where we are, and as such, have little tolerance for those that laze on their couch, watch Oprah, spit out multiple babies by multiple fathers while smoking crack, drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and checking their lotto tickets all on our dime. I do feel sorry for your friend, if that statement was indeed true, but how does someone who worked 40 years and therefor 60+ have "children to support" (yes, I know it is possible, but unlikely). Much of the anti-handout commentary on here is more directed at those that make a permanent living off our tax dollar and defraud the system, and not aimed at those who worked, want to work, but were temporary victims of COVID. So maybe YOU should think before YOU speak.
