I wish it could work that way..
Wouldnt it be nice if we could use the banks & automotive companies bail-outs ar an example?
Tell them now we cant get our money back. We have invested thousands apon thousands in our snakes & now cant earn any of that back so we want a bail-out.
Problem is they would never take the time to check the facts & see that it really is a huge investment & much more than just a pet or hobby for some.
