GAME OVER MILLIONS OF EVICTIONS BEGIN...Today! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78334982  United States08/02/2021 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How many thread about this do we need? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78093641 PAY YOUR BILLS! Almost everyone got $3200 in stimulus. Almost everyone who was unemployed got $600 a week in addition to their regular unemployment for months and $300 per week for more months. Everyone who was on some kind of public assistance never lost a dime of it. Almost everyone that the government allowed to continue working saw their wages go up, especially the low income wage earners. Their inability to manage money and control their impulses should not be responsible people problem. PAY YOUR RENT! While it is a perfectly valid point that people should remove their impulse addictions and expenditures from their lives in order to manage their living expenses with better frugality, I have to ask you this: Why are highly addictive cigarettes at $5-8 pack average for legal sale everywhere? What purpose do they serve other than to lure people under constant stress into a trick stress relief addiction that is as strong an addiction as heroine? Why is high content cheap very addictive alcohol available everywhere? Why are casinos in virtually ever greater metro area? And on beleagured reservartions? And gambling cafes in areas of extreme poverty? Why are foods and beverages loaded with addictive additives sold in every aisle at grocery stores, made available at the lower price point that only the lower wage workers can afford? Why do all forms of media communication cost money to access? How is anyone to be informed by any means necessary if they do not pay for it? Understand the question? Cigarettes are less than $1 a pack, the rest is TAX! Alcohol is a lot cheaper than the price you pay too, the rest is TAX! What addictive "chemicals" are in food? MSG? Mostly in snack foods. In proper portions, eating well is as cheap as eating snacks. 50-75 grams of protein a day and 3 cups of vegetables cost very little. Water is all you need to drink. I'm pretty sure the poor can afford that better than they can afford soft drinks and chips among other things. All they have to do is choose to do it. Still comes down to self control and stop blaming the supply are learn to control yourself. I'm in Michigan. During the last lockdown all the so called stores that sold the high tax cigarettes and alcohol stayed open and we couldn't buy seeds to plant or paint for gods sake! I constantly hear pissing and moaning about "affordable" housing. I've watched "affordable" houses being built and sold, $100,000 + for the house and nearly $3000 a year in PROPERTY TAXES! That's with a substantial discount for owner occupied. The problem isn't the landlords, its the damn government. As for media, buy a TV and put up an antenna, I get 50+ channels that way. More than half have some form of news on them at least once a day, most much more. Buy a damn radio at a 2nd hand shop, in the evenings I pick up AM radio stations from 10+ states, all have news shows or talk shows. Go to the local library, hell you should use it as you already pay for it whether you like it or not. Multiple news papers and dozens of magazines and plenty of back issues to read. AND MOST HAVE COMPUTERS FOR YOU TO ACCESS THE INTERNET ON! Staying informed is nearly free or at least already paid for in your taxes. Hard to believe somebody THIS intelligent still resides in MICHIGAN? And, I was born and raised there 50 years ago...still a beautiful state, but the people now! |
