Our current times have brought me to the point of "praying to get back from Walmart alive." But I still go various places with my friends. I find comfort in the fact that "surely gangs fear a group of old ladies." It NEVER fails that when my friends and I get into conversations with other people that our "sorry ass government" pops up. Not ONE day goes by that I do not hear from someone...(about someone in their family or a friend of theirs who) refused a job because they draw more on unemployment. Buy drugs with unemployment funds, uses SNAP benefits to pay for their friends SNAP covered items while their friends buy alcohol and cigarettes for them.

WE ARE OUT OF HAND. I know the answer.
(Raising my hand..) I know, I know..pick me, pick me....
