>>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!
please, as long as she gets shipped to Pig Balls OK, but i don't want it or it's spawn any place near where i live... i pay enough for the useless eaters on welfare that are born here now as it is and i can't afford any more shipped in from DC or anyplace else
“humble little Pig Balls, Kansas”
Pig Balls? If you have to create a demeaning hypothetical town name then insult your own state, Florida. Don’t insult mine.
