And that neighbor gets #discounts at every #restaurant for it

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Our minds are better employed in bearing the misfortunes that do befall us than in foreseeing those that may.
[Il vaut mieux employer notre esprit à supporter les infortunes qui nous arrivent qu’à prévoir celles qui nous peuvent arriver.]
François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶174 (1665-1678) [tr. Tancock (1959)]

Fear to do ill, and you need fear nought else.
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist

"Despite replete evidence of their insincerity, disingenuousness, and outright deceit, the corporate media dutifully record Republicans’ professed 'concerns.' They rarely, if ever, point out the Republicans’ record of do-nothingism or follow up with: 'Well, are you going to do something about your concern, then?' Frankly, I am concerned that members of today’s corporate media think their job is stenography; not journalism."

"As he noted: 'You know, somebody said, "Oh, the shelves are going to be open." Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls,; Trump said. 'You know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.' And he likes higher car prices!"

"Republican now use 'concerned' to mean the exact opposite—namely, “I really don’t give a damn.” Republicans profess concern about women, but support abortion bans that increase maternal and infant mortality. Trump ran an entire campaign predicated over supposed rage about rising prices. Wouldn’t you know—he does not give a damn?"
