Single Father Handbook:

Sometimes your daughter will start a really heavy period in her sleep. You come home from work to find her busily scrubbing roughly 5 murder victims worth of blood off her sheets, and think "DEAR GOD PLEASE LET ALL OF THAT BE HERS."

Evil Bullshit, from the Evil Bullshit people.

So, this comes from an article published on May 7th.  It’s been making the rounds for while, with people commenting on how stupid it is to consider “personal grooming” a  nonessential.   But the numbers just felt incredibly weird to me.  18k?  The average individual American makes 30k a year, according to the Bureau of Labor, and spend 18.7K on housing and 4k on healthcare.  So...there’s not even 18k left to spend on food, student loans, car payments, etc., let alone “nonessentials”.  So I looked it up.   https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2019/05/07/americans-spend-thousands-on-nonessentials/39450207/ This "study" was actually commissioned by Ladder, a brand owned by... Fidelity and Guaranty Life Insurance Company which is owned by... Fidelity & Guaranty Life Holdings, Inc., which is owned by... FGL US Holdings, Inc, which is owned by... CF Bermuda Holdings Limited, which is owned by... FGL Holdings, a "Cayman Islands exempted company" Because that's how responsible companies operate. Further, whole point of this "study" was to demonstrate how you should buy "term life insurance". Term life insurance is when you bet the insurance company, "I'm going to pay into this policy, but if I don't die before the term is up, I get nothing." Protip: they only sell it to you for affordable prices if there almost no chance you will die.  Why should you buy term life?  Well with all the money you will save, you can afford to put that money in the stock market, and then you’ll be so rich, you won’t need real life insurance!  So this this entire article basically just an advertisement in disguise to get you buy a legal fraud product that moves your wealth to a company's tax shelter in the Caymans. But it get's better! The majority shareholder of both the company that owns USA Today (Gannet Co.) and FGL Holdings is the same: 7 Trillion dollar firm "Blackrock". So this is Blackrock using the newspaper it owns, to shame you into buying the insurance that they also own, so you can afford to buy the financial service products it also owns, so they can keep them for themselves in a tax shelter that they also own.
