Started researching Health Insurance for Freelancers

Found out Jon Bon Jovi (most down to earth celebrity i ever met through an interview…maybe i didn’t pay attention enough growing up) runs a food kitchen where workers can work for their meals…Supported by paying patrons. Bon Jovi did dishes because they didn’t want people catching covid? But there were a bunch of people in truck? Daughter’s expression in picture?Thought about the pros and cons of making the ig a food pantry…need?…would people take free food? could it be funded completely by other sources?…could managing it be enlivening and not draining? How do you want to see yourself at death, what do you think of the person you became?

Seriousness in dire times…maybe better to not be so serious? Can I be kind and still not experience stress, or perhaps not experiencing the stress of the world is disingenuous to being kind?

I love people but hate their drama and its discomfort. I’m sorry people have discomfort and drama, but my feeling it doesn’t help them. It does actually, because it should stimulate you to help them…why does that feel so uncomfortable? It’s unfortunate I also have my own discomforts to work on. It would be great if I could just handle all the discomfort effortlessly.

Before dollar crashes due to inflation that can no longer be controlled by FED raising interest rates like they did in the 70s… invest in global commodities and emerging asian markets according to Peter Schiff in this infomercial. Interesting problem to have…be thankful you don’t have to visit a food pantry for sustenance.
