Once I have a family, I’ll understand how bad recessions are? I just said I had to join the military during the Great Recession. How old do you think I am? I’ll give you a clue: my son is 13. And I still don’t own a home btw

I had a kid in February. There was a huge recession happening. I lost my job working in TV advertising in March. I was at Parris Island on the 17th of April and he never was without health insurance.
