Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BUT THOSE PEOPLE ALWAYS HAVE iPHONES AND DRIVE NEW CARS AND HAVE BRAND NEW SNEAKERS!!
And according to certain relatives of mine on facebook, who are currently blocked, they spend all of that money on smoking, drinking, getting tattoos, getting cable TV, getting manicures, and doing drugs.

Hey, if I had to raise two kids on $500/month I'd probably buy all the alcohol and drugs I could afford too!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hey, that sounds like my 20s. Except on minimum wage instead of government assistance. And I've never been much for manicures.

Me too! And if they could afford to do all that on $500 a month, they obviously have a lesson to teach the rest of us.

LeN, that's different. Those people are job creators, whom we must never deny anything!

Hey, it stopped raining! And the sun came out!
Maybe the game won't be rained out, after all.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just do not even get the argument. Sure lots of people in poverty make poor financial decisions, it is why it is so hard for some of them to make any headway out of poverty. BUT, and this is a HUGE BUT (not a huge butt like my ass) they have monumentally fewer choices and opportunities. They almost never have family to help them or friends to chip in. They have almost never seen any example of fiscal resposibility, so have nothing to model.
Sure it is easy for me over here to say, no haircuts for women or girls - wear it long and in a pony tail. Boys hair is buzz cut and done at home. No cable, no internet, 1 cell phone per adult. Kids share rooms and families share homes if it is feasible. No pets. and on and on because it is the stuff I would do or have done when the budget no longer balanced.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If I weren't on my phone I'd cut and paste the status I just posted, reframing that godawful status to which sj is referring. Makes my brain burn, it does.
Thank you for that link, JZ! Am totally sharing on fb.
