Hi FViia,
When you are poor and get free money from the government, you are called a “mooch”. When you are wealthy and get free money from the government you are called “smart”. In reality, the poor as a class are not “mooches” and the wealthy as a class are not “smart”. There are always individual exceptions, though. Just curious FViia, did you turn down your free government money? If you did not, did you personally feel smart for taking it, or did you feel like a mooch? I was grateful for the stimulus I got. I did not feel like a “mooch” for taking it, so I do not see any reason Major D (or anyone else, rich or poor) should feel like a mooch for taking what was freely offered, either. Of course, if you are personally wealthy, it might have been a nice gesture to turn down the money if you did not need it. I am definitely amongst the poor as far as income goes, so it was most useful to me and turning it down was not on the table for me. Thanks, Donald Trump! Thanks, Joe Biden!

So you would call yourself a mooch or maybe a moocher? I don’t know anyone that would count these things as a blessing.

What are you saying KW about context, are you saying “consider yourself lucky”? I think that is the wrong way to look at it. It might be a better to ask, “am I better off today than I was before the last election”, and if not what has changed. Then do something about it.
