Yeah!
It’s almost as if obligations mean nothing at all.
I also love the red “revolution” shirt in the image.
In what community can people live and have water and not pay the utility company? This is crazy.
I guess you could have a well...but then you need electricity to pump it.
Tap water you have to pay for. They can go down to the river with a bucket, so they actually are not being denied water.
“Pay your bill.”
But that would mean no cable, cigarettes, or visits to the beauty salon.
Aren’t they near a lake or something? Who says they have to be supplied with water for free?
Apparently water is not a priority for these folk. I wonder what is? They receive more than $500. weekly in gov benefits. I guess they figure that money should be used for nice things instead of plain ole water. They should get their water free because its just water.
I see people walk around here that have nicer shoes, cars and phones than we can afford and they don’t work.
LOL, that is a fact.
They expect us taxpayers to foot the bill for everything. Remember those women who thought that since Obama was elected they’d have no more rent, utility, car or grocery bills?
Leeches !!!
.
dear parasites bite me.
I think that a more accurate statement would be that people who fail to pay their bills are always getting their utilities cut off. I suspect that when she and her Momma suffered that fate, their account was in serious arrears. I'm sure that it never occurred to her Momma that paying the utility bill might be more important than paying the cable TV bill or the payment on the big screen TV.
My water company will shut off at 10 days.”
Ours in the Texas suburbs charges a HUGE penalty if payment is not made by the date it is due and cuts it off at five days. Reconnect charge is $150 plus whatever is due plus a $150 deposit which is retained until you move out of the water district.
Our normal water/sewer/volunteer fire dept fee bill is never more than $47 a month, even when we water every other day in the summer. New people are warned as soon as they move into the neighborhood that it’s best to set up autopay through their bank.
LOL hey parasites.
NY has water. In fact it has a whole ocean and its free for drinkin.
How do you expect her to be able to play on that Xbox if she sells the tv?
We used to have a DJ around these parts that professed:
“liberalism yields the exact opposite of it’s stated intent”
He had a unique way of communicating the real news...we miss his insight.
I have been broke before. I couldn’t pay my water bill. I couldn’t pay my electric. I had not two pennies to rub together. And there were a couple times the city shut me down. I didn’t cry scream or complain. I even went so far as to collect bottles and cans and turn them in for the deposit. Then went to the city building and explain that I just need some time to catch up on my bill. They would turn the water back on and I’d make payments until I caught up.
Heck. You can give the city $20 a month and they’ll keep your utilities on as long as you explain your situation and make a tiny payment.
Entitlement mentality says you don’t even have to make an effort and someone else should always pay your bills regardless.
When it was really bad I even went so far as to do yard work for the guy that owned my mortgage to pay a month or two when things were bad. I’ve negotiated with doctors and dentists. I’ve traded labor for a cheap old car when my old one died and I had no transportation.
WTF is wrong with the country when people can’t even take some responsibility for themselves? YES. I understand and know how powerless it feels to be completely broke. BUT it never held me back. A little hustle, hard work, and creativity let me keep my house. I have traded yard work to have teeth fixed from local dentists. I did some machine work for a doctor who gave me a checkup and refilled a prescription for me when I couldn’t even scrape together $100 for an appointment.
Sad to see so many lazy people democrats have created.
I remember reading about the days when local villagers would give teachers chickens and vegetables to pay for their services of education for their children.
Water is not a right.
Housing is not a right.
Sustenance is not a right.
Clothing is not a right.
Electricity is not a right.
Not quite getting what you mean by “Water should be a right like the air we breathe.”. Use of air is involuntary...it’s a condition of being an aerobic organism.
If you want water, you work for it; you tote it by the pail, you dig a well, and retrieve it from the ground, or you work for money, or barter, to pay an entity to pipe it to your home.
