Well, that settles it.
My beloved honey was just fired from his mid-level job that was our only real source of income. I have not worked in 7 years now due to all kinds of physical and mental issues, and now he is also unemployed. There was no warning about this, as his position seemed like it was too necessary. Joke's on us! The irony is that I was actually trying to get help. Help... what a joke in this climate. We are facing a real chance of seeing a Mad Max-style scenario. People like me are doomed. Hold your loved ones close. Stay safe. You younger folks hang in there. Looks like you will be inheriting this mess a lot sooner than you may have thought.
