At his age he should be well on his way to taking care of himself. The problem is some folks who don't want to take care of him but want everyone to babysit him.
If you read.... all got money. No.. some do nothing more than scratch the surface. I'm not fond of having to babysit any corporation either.... but we were forced to do so without any regard to how we as the people felt about it.
what i don't understand, is how the guy couldn't find anything. the thing about not being able to stock the shelves.......bs. if he drove a coca cola truck, he lifted more than he did at the store.
me personally......i keep a small emergency fund so if i need anything....such as my upcoming visit to the foot doc for that ulcer on my ankle......i just pay for it.
if i were in his shoes.....i'd have simply walked into the er, and worried about how to pay for it later. go drag the lawn mower around and cut lawns, go pump gas.....go deliver pizzas. there is no such thing as "there's nothing out there" if you REALLY want to work.
