Oh man.

DU Folks: I am worried about Vercetti 2021 and would hate to be in his/her shoes.

Vercetti 2021: Is it essential you stay at that job and risk your life? Do you have any alternatives?

DU Folks: If Vercetti 2021 has to stay in his/her job maybe we can help bail him/her out of the job with contributions. If not us then who, right? I mean, this fellow DU person could die (of course any of us could, but this person seems to be at high risk).

I am of very limited means, but could throw in like $15/monthly on an ongoing basis. I know that is paltry, but if a few dozen or a hundred people could do what they could maybe it would help.

V2021: Please give us more info re your situation.

DU Folks: Does anyone else wanna get on board with this, if needed?
