Unfortunately, this will become all too common as the industry continues its slide.

My lesson-learned from tough times in the past (aviation-induced and otherwise): lay off the bottle and go to the gym. In this case you may have to set up your own gym... my living room is working fine for that, since we're really not having company over.

100%. I sincerely hope people heed that advice. A full-fledged garage gym is more than an order of magnitude cheaper than riding the HIMS pain train.

I apologize for getting so loud about this, but it’s something I hold near and dear. I’ve seen the pain, and the feds do NOT screw around. Everyone be careful and be safe.
