There is a thin, cheap length of single-ply toilet paper and it is already wet. The fact that anyone can get any help from them is all but a miracle.
This state has done what it can. I am glad they did so. But, this should now be in the hands of the federal government. They are the ones I paid into for decades to insure that I would have some help once I got to this point. They are the ones who certainly knew my name when it was time for them to receive from me, but have no idea who I am now that I am needing the reverse. I will never forget the look on the lady's face when she told me that the only thing that mattered was if I had been working in the last ten years. Well, it has been fifteen years since I held a 'normal' job. But, I have been working since I was twelve years old. However, nothing I have done matters unless it was in the last ten years. Which means, nothing I have ever done matters. I think she could see the complete disbelief on my face. I think she could also see the rage building, because she cut the whole thing off right after that as if I was not worth any further discussion.
I don't know about you people, but this is NOT what I paid for, NOT what I voted for, and NOT what I envisioned at all. Which is why I am so disillusioned with the entire thing now. The fact that enough people in this nation seem to be okay with this arrangement is more than enough to make me want to run out in traffic.
I used to be the one who ran towards the accident. I used to be the one who tried to help people when they seemed like they needed it. Our society crushed that gene in me. (It wasn't the only part of me that has been destroyed by our society and how it operates. But that is another story for another time.)
Thank you for your kind words. They mean a lot.
