Actions- meet consequences!
Two summers ago we brought our granddaughter home to our oldest daughter in Texas after having brought her to stay with us in KY for a month. She (daughter) got pissed off because I refused to call her fully bearded, hairy legged roommate "she". I was called a racist, misogynist, xenophobic something or another and a few other things. Okay, fine. I went back to the motel and told hubs we were leaving a day earlier than planned and we headed out on our great summer road trip.
Cut to a month later. We'd just gotten home from our trip and hadn't even unpacked yet and she starts messaging me needing a loan. Sorry, can't help you was my response- and was my response every single time after until she blocked me from all social media and blocked my phone number (phone is unblocked now but we only speak 2-3 times per year since then). If I'm all of those things she called me she doesn't need my misogynist money!
Also when I told my mother what happened she decided that she doesn't need her misogynist money either, as did everyone else in the family. Consequences baby!

As an American it's your responsibility to have your own strategic duck stockpile. You can't expect the government to do it for you.
