Tough Talk: December 5, 2023

Tough Talk,

We have a nephew who just completed his tour of duty as an enlisted marine.  He has a child and his wife works really hard and goes to school.  He just sits at home and has his mother take care of the child.  He does nothing but watch tv and vape, whatever the hell that means TT.  He refuses to look for work even though there are numerous positions out there.  What should we do? (Twyla, Tennessee)

Twyla,

All you have to do is repeatedly and continually tell Corporal Squidley, “Thank you for your service.”  He’ll start looking for work soon enough.
