This is reminding me of my friend Jeff, who was my temporary housemate after his condo was foreclosed on and his car was repossessed.

He quit 3 jobs in a row because he disagreed with his managers, and "That's just unfair! They can't treat me that way!" He could have sold his condo for a huge profit as soon as he couldn't make the payments, but he just hid in his bedroom until it was sold at auction for half it's market value, and he was evicted. He could have used the inheritance he got from his mother to pay off his car, but he spent it all on stupid shit while he was unemployed. He won't ride the bus because it's beneath him to ride the bus (it's really because it's used by a lot of low-income black people whom he is afraid of), and he won't work for minimum wage because it's beneath him. He won't look for a job because "God has a plan for him and will work a miracle." He won't file for unemployment because it's too much trouble. He hasn't filed his tax returns since 2019 because he won't kowtow to the Deep State.

However, he is deeply torn over the KC Chiefs, because he was a big fan, and now he can't wear his Chiefs t-shirt out of shame for their involvement with the Illuminati (or is it the Freemasons? The Zionists?? The Democrats??? How about all four??????!!!!!!) He was very upset that he couldn't wear his MAGA t-shirts in my house, or spend hours talking about his Walk With Jesus.

It took me about 2 days to figure out that he's got Very Spoiled White Male Entitlement Syndrome. I don't know where he got the idea that he is So Special that god will save his ass while simultaneously ignoring some of the children dying of cancer in the hospital 5 miles away, not to mention standing idly by while I am falsely accused of a major felony. He is exactly the kind of person who falls for all that conspiracy-theory bullshit because he can't accept that he is Not Special and It. Is. All. His. Own. Fault.

And there are millions of White Men Just Like Him in America. It's scary.

Operating as a new country, Texas would need to establish its own rules about how to support retirees and those with disabilities, which have historically been covered by Social Security and SSDI benefits.

"If Texas isn't part of the U.S. anymore, it will need to figure out a new way to help these people,"

Michael Ryan, a finance expert who runs michaelryanmoney.com, told Newsweek. "This is a big job and Texas will have to be really smart about how it handles its money to make this work."

Oh, I'm suuuuuuuuure Texas would get RIGHT on creating their own versions of SS/SSI/SSDI.

Probably, "Bum Fights for Food" on Texas State Television, Weeknights at 8.
