Utter garbage is getting posted on this thread. It's not funny. It's not clever. It's not insightful.

This runner, who participates and contributes advice on this forum, is homeless through absolutely no fault of his own, and people decide to post nonsense in response to his terrible fortune.

I will definitely donate to a Go Fund Me to help him out but let’s be honest Mr. Canaday has created the way people treat him. No one deserves to have their home burnt down but many people do deserve to be bashed by their years of arrogance and Mr. Canaday is one of them.

What's wrong with you? Like mentally.

Well in the other hand you got this less successful runner/youtube Seth Demoor with his own house and younger than Sage....

What the...? Are you high? Living in a condo where I live is 1 mill +. A huge house where i was born is 500gr. Stop it. Just stop.

Sage is younger.

As someone upthread reminded us, Sage is a businessman. Buy a training plan or 10.

I shall. Good idea.

You should look into condo prices in boulder vs home prices in south denver suburban hell. The part where you aren't sure if you're in south denver or north douglas county.

Have you considered therapy? I'm being serious, you obviously have some issues you need to work through.

Sage has been nothing but giving in his time and expertise on this hellscape of a forum, and in return gets uncalled for, disparaging, anonymous posts.

He actually says in his post that he doesn't want a GoFundMe page because he knows there are people who need $ more than them.

Sage is an awesome humble guy…. if Sage and his partner need any help I’m happy to help out with a place or whatever.

Sage, ya'll want to stay in SoCal a bit, get back to me.

Seth is also in a lot more debt than Sage.

For those who understand time value of money, Debt when mortgage rates are <2.9% 30 yr fixed and s&p historically returns 10% long term is a bet I’ll take with no reason to pay off the mortgage

I'm sure they have insurance. But that doesn't cover immediate needs like weeks in a hotel room, replacing essentials, etc. - things they need to spend lots of $$ on before insurance claims are processed.

GoFundMe is for whatever you want it to be for. If Sage and Sandi's friends want to start a GoFundMe to support them, that's great. You don't have to donate!

This is exactly covered under "Loss of Use" - standard in most homeowners policies. Mine has a $35k/year limit. That's about $3k/month for a rental + other inconveniences.

A buddy of mine had a large fire at his house. Insurance immediately put his family up in a nice 3br rental condo, gave him $3k cash for "immediate needs" like food, clothing, medicine, and started the inventory process to figure out the damages. All in all insurance paid something like $28k just for the "loss of use" of the property alone, plus paid all the repairs. He only had to pay his $1000 deductible.

He said on IG he doesn't want a gofundme - better places for people to donate their money, which I found to be quite an honourable stance in this day and age...

Baloney. Insurance will cover that stuff immediately.

Sage, if you need a place to stay long-term, let us know. In the Mid-Atlantic, but we have room. Great training.

He said the same thing when he got sick. It's a refreshing change from what seems like a celebration of greed these days.

Sage and Sandi have recently had one of the worst cases of When Bad Things Happen to Good People that I've ever seen. They've had theft of property, Sandi's mom got cancer, her older sister died of cancer, she had an Achilles injury that could have ended her running career, Sage had blood clots that could have killed him, and now their home burns.

I'm not even including the mass shooting at their grocery store because I'm counting that as a lucky near miss.

As for the haters, let them hate, and then be thankful you don't live in their world.

Bad faith actors make up up to 20% of the population. These are people who gain some sort of utility from the misfortune of others. These people intentionally sabotage common fate experiments and take counter views to the rest of population, backed by seemingly sound logic, but of course the logic is secondary to their preconceived stance, which is causing some sort of harm.

This 20% figure is in fact even higher when it comes to social media interactions. In sake of time I won’t jump too deeply into the psychology behind it but you likely know it to be true.

My point is, anytime you visit a websites comments or a letsrun thread you should assume 2 to 3 out of every 10 posts are going to be anywhere from senselessly rude to horrifically offensive. So a guy’s house burned down and 4 people jumped in to hit him while he’s down? That signals no real ill will against Sage, that’s just the batting average. So pay them no mind and move on in a positive manner.
