You are kind of pissing me off . . all this talk about resilience when we need help.  You and all your highfalutin words . . and research.  My god, gal . . we don't need research.  We are livin' it! Pickin' ourselves out of our beds and workin', goin' to school, takin' care of our kids.  How else are we ever gonna get by? Last time I checked, there wasn't anyone handin' out money as prizes for being resilient!

Give me something to work with . . give me a big smiley face, a gold star .  . connect me to the President.  Oh, forget about him right now, he's busy campaignin' and worryin' about the masses.  How about givin' me an electric bill that I can pay without havin' to use my calculator in the store isle to see what I can afford and what I have to put back.  Fill up my tank with your credit card . . see how resilient you are then.

Resilience sounds like plastic . . and I am real.  Give me somethin' real, gal . . then I can listen.
