When your "narrative" does not have room for "numbers"

This post is about a video that I do NOT recommend watching unless you like pain or you want to peer into the thought-process of the typical, ravening, Communist tool.

Caleb Hammer, financial advisor, attempts to help a guest and all she wants to do is fight. The video in the link shown above is 8:30 long (I took the liberty of chopping the promotional material off of the beginning)

Caleb Hammer is a young guy from was originally from Michigan but has since moved to Almost Austin, Texas. He provides financial counseling to young people and his career exploded when he started posting videos of financially naive clients and his dishing out simple, common-sense advice.

Eye-roll in progress behind the curtain. Eye-rolling is a passive-aggressive response to an undesirable situation or person. The gesture is used to disagree or dismiss or express contempt. -Wikipedia

This intervention goes right off the rails in the first thirty seconds. The guest/client introduces herself as somebody who raised her younger siblings and "my dad was never in the picture...So, I kind of had to take that that role growing up as well too, just kind of being a provider for (my mother)." An interesting detail is that her eyes are closed the entire time she was saying "...my dad was never in the picture...".

Given that she has multiple, younger siblings, you have to wonder how that happened... She did say that "my dad" was not in the picture.

Hammer is extremely accepting of unconventional living arrangements, but something about what she said set him off. He called her on that.

She responded, "Well, once that she wasn't unable to work anymore, I definitely had to pull much more of that responsibility. Um, and that's just something me as a person, I definitely just love to help others versus my own."

It an ancient bit of folk-wisdom that when a person leads-off by telling you what a great Christian they are, to put your hand over your wallet and to start backing away.

The tables turn

Then Hammer tried to get the session back on track and he brings up numbers, specifically, her income per month. He wants to know where she thinks her $3,800/month goes*. Incidentally, the woman works for a non-profit where attendance seems to be optional. Darned good wages for people who don't show up.

She didn't want to talk numbers. She wanted to talk about "her struggle". For those who are a little bit fuzzy on history, "my struggle" is right out of the Commie playbook. The title of Hitler's autobiography was "Mein Kampf", literal translation "My Struggle". Now it is the go-to for all populists who base their movement on envy.

Her response to him was "...you don't understand..." and "...it's called caring for people..."

Incidentally, I printed out the transcript of the video and the word "understand" showed up 14 times in 7 minutes. 

He keeps pushing toward objective data, once catching her in a Freudian Slip when she clearly called the "Emergency Fund" her "Emergency Fun".

She kept baiting him with passive-aggressive "kindness". "...maybe you should pay your employees more...".

The show was a total zhit-storm from start-to-finish and I don't know why Hammer posted it unless it was to demonstrate that some people refuse be saved (financially) AND to inform us about the evil prowling the world in the form of chubby, white, Commie chicks.

 

*Minor detail: Hammer homed-in on the low-hanging-fruit. She kept insisting that spending $15 a day for dine-in eating falls under "groceries" and is a necessity.
