Rants 12/13

Okay everyone I know we are supposed to use this blog to post our thoughts about school but I am finding this thing is great just to release your thoughts out. I think that it is also a good one. I went to see my mom yesterday , her and I were chatting about the family, she informs me that my aunt was laid off on Friday. I am thinking okay this is great , thge company she worked for was a gym so I can understand cutbacks, but 2 weeks before christmas???  In another sentence she then tells me my cousin is bieng laid off on the furst of the year. Here is the really sad part, My cousins girlfriend is expecting their first child in like two weeks. My aunt lives with them ,. So Now how in the heck are they supposed to do anything,. I was laid off last year in 12/30 five days after christmas, I can understand how employers think, I know it is the end of the year but come on, I guess I go back to the same old thing about families and companies have no sense of Christmas spirit at all, I can understand how anyone is expected to survive. It seems like almost anyone you talk to knows someone whi has beem laid off, and families gettng evicted and foreclosed on. I really wish the government would get together and help out its own country first. It breaks my heart to see families devastaed the way they have been by this economy,. All I can say is my heartfelt prayers go out to everyone who is trying to survive nowadays, Good Luck to all and Happy Holidays!!!
