You can play the hardship game and you can play the "my friends and peers are vulnerable cause x" game. I guarantee you that if I showed you my cards, I'd win handedly. I will not play that game though, because my friends and peers are not token statistics to be used for an internet pissing match.

Rest assured you and I have very similar concerns. Rest assured you and I have equal right to be upset. Rest assured that I am fucking terrified of tomorrow and the next year and what follows after. Rest assured I'm wracking my brain and talking to people to figure out where and how I can help, because I will not stand idly by and complain if there's even the smallest thing that I can do.

Very soon, there will be even more good children going hungry through no fault of their own. There will be even more people unable to get the healthcare they need through no fault of their own. There will be even more people struggling to keep their jobs, their homes, their families. Here. There. Everywhere. Go ahead. Be angry. Be scared. Join the club. I've been here for years, handing out coffee and smiles. Help where you can, or do nothing. I'm not your mother so I won't tell you what to do.

But know this, to say "good riddence, those people over there deserve it" shows a callousness and lack of compassion that is concerning at best. The same callousness and lack of compassion that you so easily accuse others of having.

I'll see you in Pubski on Wednesday. I'm done for today.
