I don’t know the facts of her first sons homicide. I just know that I do not want her second son in my neighborhood.
I do not want him bringing homicides to my neighborhood.
Bump for later
She forgot all about mandatory Husseincare. That's really gonna hurt.
>>Freeland lived with family for a time, she said, and four months ago moved into transitional housing funded by the city government in Washington, D.C., while searching for work that pays more than her $8.25-an-hour retail job. Having lost her oldest son in a 2000 homicide, Freeland said she insists on looking for housing in a safe neighborhood for her surviving one, now 17. She found that’s available only at an increasingly steep price.
Are people really this stupid? She works for minimum wage—the same minimum wage in DC as it is Pig Balls, Kansas. Only, in DC, the cost of living is built around a six-figure income, while humble little Pig Balls, Kansas has a cost of living and lifestyle built on what a blue collar worker can earn.
But, she stays in DC because the money to be taken through “assistance” is far greater than that in Pig Balls. If the government wants to help people, it should give them bus tickets out of these big, expensive cities to places where normal people live. Of course, then we wouldn’t create concentrations of Blue voters, would we? And some of those Blue voters might just wake up and become Red voters.
The bottom line is that she’s had 13 years to get out since her son died and she’s still there. She’s like these career “educators” who complain about the low wages for teachers. It ain’t getting better! Move on!
“....car insurance, rent, electric, cable...”
Last thing I knew, cable TV was optional. Save your money and your soul, turn it off.
hey kiryandil : how about this , when you apply for public assistance you are given a Dave Ramsey book and must complete a test on it to qualify. Some might catch a clue. HA
*ping* for must-read-later...I’m dubious!
bleeeech....
The bozos in DC are so incredibly stupid insane that, back in the 90s and 00s, they thought that low interest rates and zero down payments would bring about "affordable housing". The media pushed this line hard, and most folks believe it. But all that artificially low interest rates did was inflate house prices, and the zero down payment pumped the bubble full of mortgage money that could not possibly be repaid.
"Student loans" have created the same phenomenon in higher education costs and put an albatross of debt on young people.
After 2008, any reasonable person would have learned from his mistakes. But like a broken, degenerate gambler at a craps table, the federal government has decided to take another line of credit with some Chinese loan sharks and doubled down. Seven come eleven, the Keynesian multiplier is going to work this time 'cause baby needs new shoes. There truly is no social problem that government cannot make worse.
I’ve been advocation a national strike for over a year. Not that I’m anybody.
Since when is cable TV a necessity?
