> I was laid off a few weeks ago. Then I learned my dad’s carpet cleaning company has been struggling

Nice story but also kindof sad you didn't have time for this while you were working. Good example of what can happen if we don't work so much.

You don't know the first thing about OP, other than that he's trying to help out his dad.

Maybe his father didn't want to worry his family, and had been keeping it to himself. I have no idea, and neither do you; you just chose to assume the worst about someone you don't know.
