While The Program Exists

I got my first dose
of a shingles vaccine
recently.

If I had waited
for over a decade,
the cost would have been
free.

But I don’t think
the medical system
will be functioning fully
in over a decade.

I paid the money
and got the first dose
now.

Don’t assume
programs and systems
will be around forever.

Use them now
if they benefit you
or your business
at all.

Don’t Count On Bailouts

If you f*ck up a large business
badly enough,
the government will likely
‘make it right.’
You’ll get a bailout
or some other sort of government help.

The key words, however, are
LARGE business.

Don’t expect a bailout
for a small or mid-sized business.

Heck, even most of those
PPP loan forgivenesses
went to friends of politicians
and not to small or mid-sized businesses.

We’re on our own.
And we should factor that
into our plans.
