Re: Setbacks. Thanks to COVID...

I simply dunno whats up. There are conflicting facts given by the various experts. I can relate to anyone who loses a loved one. Compaired to that this Rona fallout isn't a big thing at all. Our middle son died in a car crash 27 years ago. Compared to that every other problem isn't that big of a deal. Having stated that I fail to believe that there is any viable solution especially a political of ballot box solution. We arent affected very much. The social security is deposited every third Wednesday. And we grow and raise a lot of our food.

Losing a loved one is never easy. My father passed away New Year's Eve. This year has been especially hard for many of us.

You may not be affect very much, but others are.

Your perspective is exactly that.

Rona fallout isn't a big thing...except when you lose all of your income and are unable to find a job. You grow your own food; I don't. You have a permanent source of income; I don't. I am not bothered or affected by Rona other than the fact that because of it...I was laid off.

Side note - I regret venting on this forum.

No offense, but losing a father when you are an adult is not the same as losing a child or a spouse.

+1 on regretting to vent on this forum. Maybe a truck forum is not the best place to vent for this topic.

It's like the old saying...never cry when you get to prison for having 3 years...when your cellmate says.."I have a life sentence." Can always find someone that has it worse.

Ive been out of work many times. I drew unemployment and when laid off We worked on the goal of being debt free and self reliant. and always saved 10% when I was working. Then I switched from being a heavy equiptment operator to a Truck Driver. And I always had a job when I wanted one. I was able to ouit selling part of my life for wages and start playing with my hoard at age 62.
