I understand the elderly just fine. I know that they get fixated on principle.

I drive by two houses every day that are essentially worthless. They are both surrounded by 10’ chain link with razor wire on three sides. A major chemical plant on three sides, and there they are several hundred feet apart. The value of these houses is gone, and the company is not interested in buying them as they went ahead with their project without them. The elderly people who lived the last years of their lives there died years ago and they essentially got zilch.

This is one of those unpleasant situations where an elderly woman is being displaced from her home. But in this case, she wants the money, it’s just not enough for her.

Ouderkirk...Do you remember, when you sold your principles? How much did you ask; and what have you settled for, in warm compensation?

Just wow!

What I’ve learned is that preaching at someone is a one-way convo leaving one side feeling self righteous & the other side misunderstood.

If you can find a single elderly GOP elected official, it would be a miracle.

An elderly woman is being displaced from her home in exchange for $600,000, which sum is negotiable.
