Those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

I suppose you out there carping about opening businesses too soon don’t have a couple of children to clothe and feed, a car payment due, rent or mortgage due, payments on the furniture in your home that are due, and payments on all the other things you bought on credit that are due.

You made those decisions because you had a job and calculated you could afford those payments based on your income, which you thought to be secure. Now you won’t be getting your paycheck on Friday or next Friday or the next because you no longer have a job.

The government has shut everything down, so what are you to do? What do you use to go to the grocery store to buy food for the kids?

If you’re afraid of getting sick, for God’s sake stay at home. But let the rest of us go back to work. We’re dying a slow death here. If we are able to get our jobs back, it will maybe take years for us to dig out of this hole. Put yourself in the place of a father who has unconditional love for his children and no money to support them. You’d go back to work yourself, I’d bet.
