The short sightedness of right wing small business owners is why Go Fund Me ended up as a widely used life insurance policy in rural areas during COVID.

Like at least pirates wore earrings to pay for their funeral expenses. These guys have boats and Harley’s and f 150s and not a fucking dime saved anywhere for their families to pay for their caskets.

Funny was assessing his custom kitchen as he was talking and wondering what he owes on that with the granite countertops and special spice or knife cabinet.

Lmao, no one could've accounted for COVID. If you're trying to make a point you're not doing a good job.

Everyone knows they are going to die and most people have the option of buying life insurance.

Which is kind of the point not scrapping those system would have allowed everyone to make better plans and have more lead time on a pandemic

It has nothing to do with farmers in rural areas not buying life insurance and being forced to use gofundme

They weren’t forced to use go fund me when they could have purchased a life insurance policy at any time that would have cost less than the monthly maintenance for a boat or motorcycle.

I don't think making stupid financial decisions is a quality unique to farm owners.

You brought them up, not me. I specifically used “small business owners” to mean exactly that.

Pretty sure the person you replied to with the skeet that started this conversation said farmers but I can't check because he blocked me for this convo.

You’re going to die someday and if you have kids, you should have a plan in place for that. It’s what responsible adults do.
