I agree about personal financial responsibility, but we do not know his situation. Maybe he is in school or caring for his family. I escorted briefly to pay for my mothers hospital bills.
I am a massage therapist and a photographer. I was using my profits from massage to create a portrait studio. I didn’t have a rainy day fund as I was building two businesses at the same time and helping to care for my mom. We expect so much from people who are trying to survive. When big corporations are always waiting for the government bailout.
The government passed bills to help during the pandemic. Only 155 billion went to people. The rest went to big business and small business. I qualified for the PPP program but if I take those funds I lose unemployment. I ether keep my business open or pay rent. It’s a very difficult pill to swallow.
