1) An acquaintance of the husband of a friend who I made through my one (lawyer) friend from Missouri was unemployed for a year, I think from something in business, and she sent out around 20 applications a week -- that is, something like a thousand applications overall. Reportedly, that whole situation was very tough on her.
2) My one friend who delivers singing telegrams has had health problems and is in a Medicare-accepting place down in a GOP-led state where she's originally from, and she recently fell in the shower there and broke her hip... When I remarked surprise that she didn't have someone there to assist her for safety's sake when she was showering, she said she didn't think she needed it before she fell, and anyways, the place is short-staffed and if you wanted to take a shower you would probably be calling someone forever and they wouldn't necessarily come.
