Well, it's not just the loss of the job, that was a year ago. I started my own consulting firm, I just bought a new car. He may know some of this from Facebook, but I'm still not going to discuss it with him. I suspect he doesn't know it because he never likes any of my posts. So I think he just goes on to post things about his situation for support and post stupid memes and unfactual news stories.
