Working For Welfare

how would you feel if you were a migrant into a foreign speaking land only to hear gun shots at night down the street from where you have been placed?? And then seeing the ambulances running to the place?? What would you do? You can't re-locate..

it would just be a continuation from what they left behind. only in a smaller scale.

all this 'people hates people' thinking is very presumptuous. To assume people hate people of other nationalities is prejudice 101.

and even if they should hate them, what would they do? Accost them and buy assault rifles?

the grown working adults don't have time to go around looking for guns to buy at gun stores. Especially not in cities...

but the business suits of today are not the business suits that were worn 15 years ago.. Now days, their suits are cleaner than their shoes.

when was the last time anyone shined their business shoes? and fuzzy loafers don't count as business working shoes.

the top ones would be considered too soft on the heels for any business man.

The Windsor 'pinch' is for business. The Windsor alone is for seriousness.

When I used to be on welfare, one of the punishments they would give out was to have people work for welfare. I did. It is far easier to do if you have a car for transportation, I assure you. But if you could afford to own a car, you wouldn't be on welfare. Another thing I can assure you of is that welfare only gave you the bare minimum to survive on. But despite that, you had to stretch your meager resources by working to do things like clean more often and make lunches. And then, the work that I did was work that the city was already paying employees good money to do. Having welfare people work at one place gave many of the city employees making a good salary the opportunity to earn it by sitting around and play cards.

There were all sorts of horror stories I could tell you about my experiences on welfare. If the government cut out all of the bullshit bureaucracy involved in paying people good salaries to force welfare people off welfare, they probably could have saved half the cost of the program right there. I may not be on welfare anymore. But I sure feel sorry for those who should be. Because I was there.

When I exited the military many years ago I went to Oregon via hitchhiking there, and when I got there I was low on funds and was sent to this shelter for me to get a night of sleep and the next day I was told to sign up for food stamps, so I went out the next day and got a job instead.

I walked into a employment service company and the following day I was working for a electronic manufacturing and in a few weeks had a place of my own and never looked back.

United Way was the sponsor of the shelter and I donated for years to them afterwards.

So sometimes some people don't need welfare but just a step up in life and at the time I did not have any transport except the Bike I got from a dumpster that I fixed.

that's nice...

It must have been very humiliating to work for welfare.
