Just gave a friend $40 so he could get his medications.

He's been sick for a week with walking pneumonia and finally had the $15 copay for the doctor. Got 3 prescriptions for $35 that he had no money for.
It's hell trying to find work with a drug bust hanging over your head.

It's a buyer's market as far as labor is concerned. Unless you have some oil, even the slightest mark against you should be sufficient to frustrate you.
