I currently have zero e-mails in my inbox. I'm normally a 300ish/day guy. It's beautiful. 

Got my last message today around 10:21. Automated message from Mastercard, so it's auto filed. 

Five total E-Mails today. I've been sitting here, got a chance to watch Venom and Zombieland with no interruptions. 

Today is a good day.

"look at me everyone it's-a me the internet tough guy, i riff on poor people then tell people with the stones to call me out on it to get over it"

i said i wouldn't do this but i'll waste my lunch break being mad at your horrible opinions instead of browsing my twitter feed... brother i have lived in suburbs where 90% of all the people there could have been on welfare and it wouldn't have been enough, and myself am a welfare recipient for university student youth allowance... but sure i will fair enough put the anecdotes aside and let you know how i really feel.

you say you acknowledged people need help. by your very own estimations, and this isn't me putting this in your mouth, that is only 20% of those on welfare. so you've said from your own mouth that you don't believe the vast majority of welfare recipients need it, and they're just lazy.

you live in a country where real wages for the bottom 75% of workers in the usa have barely budged since 1964, and yet the real wages of the richest 10% are up 15.7% since 2002 (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/)

you live in a country where an estmated >500000 bankruptcies occur each year from defaults on medical bills, as people are going bust for the privilege of not dying (https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/medical-bankruptcy-killing-american-middle-class-2019-02-14)

where to get a tertiary education, everyone has to take on crippling and onerous student debt, which many who can not access scholarships and aren't inherently privileged are burdened by for their entire adult lives - $1.6 trillion of it just floating around (https://fortune.com/2019/07/09/bernie-sanders-cancel-student-debt/)

 a country with a GINI coefficient, measure of the equality of income distribution, of 41.00, which puts you squarely in between uganda and turkey, and puts you 59th worst in the world (https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/indicators/SI.POV.GINI/rankings)

a country where many major cities such as los angeles have more vacant houses than homeless people (https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/poverty/471675-in-los-angeles-vacant-homes-outnumber-the-homeless)

a country where your employment chances, income levels and chance of college attendance are directly and almost perfectly correlated to your parents' income (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/rich-kids-stay-rich-poor-kids-stay-poor/)

a country where the average black household earns half what the average white household earns, and if we use wealth terms will on average be poorer than ninety percent of white households (https://qz.com/1368251/black-income-is-half-that-of-white-households-just-like-it-was-in-the-1950s/)

so go on and tell me that in the bottom 75% of all the workers, the people in medical and student debt, the homeless, the people that didn't have rich parents and the black population, heaps of them are just lazy and could stop being poor if they just tried. i dare you i frickin' dare you man. 

if you can look at all these numbers, these stats, look at them and really consider them, and turn around and say that 80% of all the welfare recipients in your country are just lazy and don't need it, then you're a sad, sad, little man with a wet dildo for a brain and a void for a heart, and about as much understanding of economics as a dead dog.

next time you offhandedly say that 80% of people on welfare are just lazy, remember this, and remember how damn wrong you are hombre.

respond, don't, i really don't care, this is the last i'll say on this and if you do reply i'm not going to respond back

but if these numbers say to you that you need less welfare in your classist broken-arse country and not more then you are having a joke hombre

You must not hire employees

Ever since my Dad passed two years ago just after New Year's I haven't been able to enjoy NYE at all. Last year and this year I've felt just completely alone and sad the entire night. I feel like next year I need to plan something to take my mind off the night.

Sorry to hear that bud. I hope this year brings you peace.

Yeah, I can imagine that's rough. My dad passed July 5th (about 8 years ago) so pretty much every 4th of July since has been "bleh". 

I want to say it'll get better, but we all grieve and heal differently. Don't force anything, but know thyself and do what you think is right for you.

Sorry buddy. My dad passed away unexpectedly July of 2013 and we were extremely close. To this day, I haven’t watched the MLB All Star Game and some major other traditions like July 4, the Super Bowl, etc still have a bit of a cloud over them. I hope you find something that works for you. Spending time with my brother and doing some of those things together and confronting the time/sharing stories has actually been the most beneficial for me speaking from personal experience, but I understand we are all wired differently.
