Maybe so, but I think it's clear there's a mix of both. I sincerely wish I knew what the mix is between hard working/responsible 'victims' and 'screw-ups.' Is it 50/50, or some lopsided mix - I've searched many times, without finding anything? I know folks in both camps personally, but that doesn't give me any sense of which camp is larger, if either.
Those who speak only of victims may be just as misguided as those who speak only of 'screw-ups.'
I'd be more than happy to help out the victims, and equally unhappy to help out the 'screw-ups.'
+1.
I agree.... I saw one of the news magazines on people who were laid off and what has happened to them.... they were talking to this one guy who was mowing lawns... (IIRC, blowing the leaves).... I can not remember what he did prior, but I think he had a salary of over $100K.... I would put this guy in the hard work group...
And BTW, a good number of the people received 2 years of unemployment... that is a pretty good amount of time to adjust to the new normal....
