The people I know personally who act like it's so terrible to be helping someone else have all received significant assistance from the government and their communities.

Please accept the assistance. That's what you need.

I don't care if it's forever. Everyone deserves to eat and a place to sleep and everyone deserves to know that they will still have food and a safe place to sleep later. Just don't try to keep it from others once you're back on your feet.

    Making them all fifteen or twenty-five years doesn't make sense.

    I'm hopeful that we're in the midst of a right wing extinction burst that will be over in 5-10 years. They will get to participate in the rebuilding that follows.

    I'm fearful that we're seeing the launch of a new dynasty.
