The very definition of handout is giving something free to a person in need or organization. Personally i dont need it. I know there are people that do so give it to them.
I don’t understand any black person calling money given to them by a government that hasn’t paid the debt it owes us a “handout.” Like Professor Black Truth says, cut that check until we tell you to stop!Well since i have money saved and still getting paid half of my salary it is a handout in my case. I would be perfectly fine for another month or 2 without it.
Now if you need it, which is perfectly fine get that money. Its people out there getting food stamps that don't need it. Personally I'd rather leave it for people that need it. Sorry if you don't understand that.
I get your point and if that's your view I'm all for it. For me it's different. I was homeless for almost 2 years and there were people that helped me that didn't have much themselves. People did things and wanted nothing in return. Ill forever be grateful for that.I don’t understand any black person calling money given to them by a government that hasn’t paid the debt it owes us a “handout.” Like Professor Black Truth, cut that check until we tell you to stop!
so are the taxes you're paying the government a handout?
If that's how you think that's cool. You're upset about me doing exactly what you said I should do. If someone I know needs something they can have it. How much of money donated you think actually gets to people that need it? My entire point is I know people are struggling. I've been there. I know what it's like not to have anything litterally. Giving directly to somebody does a lot more that giving to a company.
Do you know the definition of handout?
that last line was a blatant projection LOL. i don't own any jewelry.
Yes. Remote work. Working regular schedule except there’s no commute. In fact, it’s even more work bc it’s a lot of coordination and taking additional training on privacy law and cyber security bc there’s more data being transferred. Then the Regional zoom meetings -the Directors want to have weekly status calls. And our dept manager calls once a week to “check in” on any concerns (he’s low key checking to see if we’re logged in and accessible lol) . But he’s good though (first black man in that position since I’ve been there so I try to be extra diligent to make sure he has no issues) Prior to this lockdown, he is the exact opposite of micro manager - he’s gives us leverage and as long as deadlines are met and we are responsive, he didn’t care - keeps it professional, knows his shyt and doesn’t c00n. He pulled me to the side and made the initial decision for me to work from home when all this started going down bc he knew I’m a mother and child care would be an issue. But prior to all this, I spoke to dude formal in person meetings maybe once every 4 months . That’s it.
Lot of distractions and it took an adjustment period but I’m grateful for the quality time with family, the down time bc I dead feel guilty those times working all hours and rushing through on “normal”‘days before all this. Now it’s like if the kids want to make cupcakes at 11:30 in the afternoon - f it, why not. I just see it as a “Reset” as long as everybody stays healthy.
It's in the savings so I don't mix it with my checking. I can do card to card transfers without using my checking account.
so are you or are you not supporting "handouts"?
I'm point is I'm helping my family directly. I'm talking about my personal situation. I never said nobody should take the money. Do what you want with yours.
yea, i mean you're in a blessed position. i'm the same way. i been procrastinating on all my projects, but it's a bunch of shyt that can be done in a few days anyway.Yes. Remote work.

but getting dressed and prepped for work, wearing office clothes, daily commute before all this put me in a zone to work, know what I mean? I’m a person that works best off structure and schedules. Now it’s just like get up when I feel like it, log in at 9:30ish, take a mid day nap, check email, if there’s nothing pressing- watch a show, make sure homeschooling is done, browse sites, get back to work. I’m not going to sound pretentious like people being all pressed to get back to work bc I know not everyone has the opportunity or resources, or even a job but I need the discipline-
i'm wfh rn too but i know i will lose my mind being around all the cacs going back to work whenever this dies down.
