Both of my Flubros friends have a money motivation in this. I’m not saying that they are greedy or anything, one lives less than paycheck to paycheck. Any type of a work stoppage puts him at risk of being homeless. He is a hard working man too, 7 days a week most of the time.
He also has a need to socialize that is higher than normal, in my estimation. He does not like to spend time alone at all, especially considering his 15 marriage just failed in December.
I feel for them. I love them both. They are just trying to make sense of what is happening, and both are struggling with that.
When I speak with them, I do try to take a more gentle approach than might be seen in some of posts to FLubros here.
You could try informing them that their assets are not safe if this thing gets a lot worse.
