I don't think you understand what "entitlement" and "handout" means.

Entitlement is not asking for help. Entitlement is when you believe it's owed to you.

Handout is not asking for assistance with a task. Handout is asking for a physical object, typically money, to be given to you.

Asking to borrow some tarps and asking for help in putting them up is neither entitlement nor a handout.

That is a handout. A handout is goods or services for assistance that is given for free. Which is what was being asked.

You can believe differently but a Facebook post asking for handouts is entitlement. You wouldn’t make the post if you didn’t think it was owed to you. Instead of reaching out to contractors or insurance you make a post on Facebook.

You can agree or disagree. But I disagree with these actions.

Why are you using this thread to take some weird stance?

Nobody gives a shite about you, or what you did with your roof, or if you think skip deserves free help or not.

What's actually weird is defending public figures seeking handouts when they already have significantly more resources than the average person—who, as you said, "nobody gives a shite about."

or perhaps she was requesting immediate help from the public as more of a timing thing because they had a giant hole in the roof and were worried about rain water ruining everything in the house?

but you be you

I was thinking entitlement was more having a tree fall on your house and asking for Homeland Security to show up....

It should be noted, it is not Skip asking for this, but a family member on his behalf.

This

She’s not starting a gofundme claiming woe is me. Probably just trying to get tarps out there as quick as possible before more rain comes and does more damage. It’s a Sunday on a holiday weekend, calling on your network to get some people out there that have tarps handy is probably smarter than waiting on a company to show up even if you’re skip Bertman

Lets be clear, its not Skip asking for anything. It is his daughter and he likely didn't even know about the post.

Yes it is. They rebuilt it completely and that fire actually started in the garage the first time also. I grew up across the street from them. Theres been several trees for years that were iffy at best in the area.
