The federal government abandoned us on coronavirus relief. What now?

I'm running out of money to help people.

I don't mean this as a humblebrag: I've spent A LOT on helping folks. My tenants haven't worked since Rona took their jobs. They have two kids. I'm not gonna charge them because I'm not a monster, but I got a mortgage that I can't stave off forever.

I got that homeless camp growing in my town, and I know a mom and two kids living down there. Of course I'm gonna buy them food and toys and anything I can to help.

But this isn't how you run a society. You can't just bank on weirdos who lucked into money (it's on my business card) to bail out a whole TOWN. And it's not feasible even if I could. I'm helping two families... but there are MILLIONS in my state alone.

This is crazy, and I don't know how we're supposed to make it until November.
