Short Answers: What If…

We get lots of what if… questions.  These are good natured questions from people that are just concerned that something bad will happen.

But the answers are all simple and similar.

What if we are injured or get sick?

We’ll go the hospital.

What if the car breaks down?

We’ll fix it.

What if you run out of food?

We’ll find the nearest food bank, pantry, social agency or person on the street to help us.

What if you run out of money?

We’ll stop, get jobs and make some more.

Any “what if” situation you can think of probably has the same answer.

We’ll do what poor people across America do every day and we’ll find a solution.

I can’t help but wonder… if you use a pantry or food bank aren’t you just dipping into resources that would otherwise go to those who may not be quite so able to provide for themselves?

Good point Adam.  I guess we didn’t think that one all the way through yet.

I suppose that if we run out of food, we’ll have to carefully consider what we’re doing, and the cost of receiving that assistance to the community.

Good point.  Keep in mind that we’re still figuring this stuff out.  So when you see stuff like that, please point it out so that we can think through it.

Also, please reference “consistency” in “The Deal”.  grin

I was wondering if the rest of us could have a spot? I mean, since many of us, myself included are trying to vicuariously learn the leassons that life is teaching you, can we have a lounge or maybe a rabbit hole, fishbowl, something where we can all post ABOUT you rather than TO you? I think you should open a spot for that, because Adam and I had a really interesting discussion about you the other night and it seems so unfair that we can’t share that with everyone else.

Brian, that’s an awesome idea.  Seriously, that’s fantastic.

Let me think about the best way to put something together like that.

I think I’ve got some ideas.  I’ll see what I can put together.
