Boy, I tell you... [View all]

The complete lack of understanding as to the complete lack of help available for those who are not walking around with money falling out of their pockets is astounding to myself.

It is either malice or ignorance. The main problem I see is that I see way more malice than ignorance.

This is all by design. They want us to die.

So, I should just obey and end it all? I mean, that sure seems to be the outcome of things as they stand. I damn sure am not going to just lay around in agony and mental crisis while the evil in this country just keeps on being evil. Or, should I?

I was not raised to sit and do nothing. Where I am from, that is how you end up dead. Food does not miraculously appear on your table, you go out and raise it, tend it, and harvest it. Your house does not magically repair itself. You go out, find the materials and you fix it. Or, if you can, pay someone to fix it.

Yet, I am supposed to just sit here and watch everything collapse while I scream from being unable to find help because it falls into that category of 'guaranteed money because everyone needs healthcare' level of greed that should have been regulated out of existence decades ago? It is mind-boggling to me.

I apologize for always dumping on this forum, but there is no one else. I moved to a state where the norm is 'don't interact with anyone unless you absolutely have to, then finish it as fast as you can and run away'. (A gentleman who is also not from here once said the best descriptive statement I have yet to hear about the people of this state. "They will give you directions to anywhere, except their house." It has proven to be completely true.) I am glad it works for them. I find it rude as hell. I am getting close to my wits end on so many things. And, no one can do anything except pat me on the head and pitifully tut.

Great. Just what I needed.

Again I am sorry.
