13.3K? Yes, I would pay it to put things right. Settle everything, and be as we once were.
But I have no faith in any elected official, anymore. We could pay the 13.3 but what would actually change?
My Grandad lived by an adage, no doubt born of the depression.
"Them that works, eats".
I am acquainted with a Ph.D. who is a quadreplegic and needs 'round the clock care. Yet, he shows up for work every day. Every.Fricking. Day. Without fail.
As a consequence, folks claiming "I was traumatized by xyz and cannot work" hold 0 value to me. Bullshit. If he can do it, anyone can do it.
Don't like your position in life? Change it! If a guy without use of his arms, fingers, legs, and toes can do it, don't cry to me you "cannot".
