Tony Novak<p>Coping with Financial Insecurity Caused by Government</p><p>A lot of us learned this past month that our lives are not as financially secure as we believed. Today's news and emails are buzzing with fears of individuals facing strongly worded government demands to pay back money that they never received. Small business farmers in our South Jersey region had spring contract payments cancelled, relatives arrested, and employees missing. Other Cumberland County, Salem County, and Camden County NJ businesses had contracts cancelled and wonder if they need to worry about their own business closing ahead. Government employees and employees of agencies serving government have been fired with no immediate job prospects. <a href="https://tonynovak.com/coping-with-financial-insecurity-caused-by-government/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tonynovak.com/coping-with-fina</span><span class="invisible">ncial-insecurity-caused-by-government/</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/doge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doge</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/irs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>irs</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/firing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firing</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Smallbusiness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Smallbusiness</span></a></p>
