I think that must be a reading comprehension issue on your end. 🤷

But I will agree with you that I am compassionate and tolerant. I enjoy helping people who want to be helped. But I don't have any patience for entitlement or people who aren't willing to receive help and add their own efforts to multiply that help into a life change.

reestuart • 01/21/25 03:05 PM ET
I don't-, and that is one of the many reasons why
Vienna_Hokie • 01/21/25 10:05 AM ET
Meh...don't think society "lost" that.
vthokieq • 01/21/25 10:14 AM ET
I'm not so sure.
MP4VT2004 • 01/21/25 12:20 PM ET
So you're advocating we should leave those people behind?
vthokieq • 01/21/25 12:27 PM ET
No, I clearly stated that I'm not arguing whether it's good or bad that...
MP4VT2004 • 01/21/25 12:33 PM ET
Well sure...as I said though, that doesn't necessarily refute my point.
vthokieq • 01/21/25 12:36 PM ET
Nah, I also clearly stated that...
MP4VT2004 • 01/21/25 12:40 PM ET

My furnace is gas and my water heater is electric.
ElbertoHokie • 01/21/25 09:54 AM ET
Higher duty cycle on the furnace drives the electric bill up too
MAHokie69 • 01/21/25 11:05 AM ET
The fan from the furnace should be minimal electricity I would think. **
ElbertoHokie • 01/21/25 11:08 AM ET
Yea, fans/blowers use almost nothing
Tafkam Hokie • 01/21/25 01:07 PM ET
