This woman’s account of her problems began with the violation of one of the ten commandments: Thou shall honor your mother and your father. She’s wearing an anti-God tee shirt. I would have nothing and be nobody economically if not for God. I started out poor - most middle class kids around me did. We worked our way up; but this globalism animal has squelched that possibility for many because their labor market is global - including in the US - and people are now widgets.

The ethics of businesses have changed to the dark side with globalism. Treat others as you would want to be treated comes to mind. Many businesses violate this commandment from Jesus. Everyone suffers as a result.

And I do thank janitors and people cleaning up outdoors, in stores, restaurants and office buildings. If not for them, we would be living in crap up to our necks. Their service/work is hugely important to all of us.

Those times in life when I could afford it, I tipped good wait staff generously - way beyond minimal expectation. I have paid people for services more than they are charging - like window washers - because their service is more important to me than what they charge.

In my family we were raised to look at no job as “lowly.” All jobs have to be done and the people doing them are important.

I wonder, why didn’t she figure out a way to train for a job as a nurse, or perhaps take a course in SOMETHING. She could have applied for grants and gotten coursework and then ended up trained in a good job. Then she would have been making more and would have been easily comfortable in no time.
