But my issue with the low-cost and free offerings is the same. I have nothing to give them as I am broke. I do not mean the modern definition of broke, which means 'down to my last $1000'... I mean the traditional definition as in 'I do not have three pennies to rub together'. There has been no interest in helping once I express that fact. Even my state assistance will only cover a few things (that limit has been reached already) and the rest is out of reach, which means the help i need is out of reach. This is by design. I have no worth to the machine. So, they will wave some pills at me and act like that should do the trick while actually hoping I will crawl into a hole and go away.

Yep. Since there is no glamor or money in it, we don't get help, we get a pauper's grave. OldBaldy1701E Jan 2024 #19
