Sure, believe the corporation. They are always pretty honest.

I mean, I’m not exactly inclined to believe the company that “has no record” of the family telling them about the woman’s medical condition.

AmeriCorps was singlehandedly the most frustrating, maddening, heartbreaking, and enlightening experience of my life. Until you’ve served people in a program like that you can’t fullt see where the gaps are and how fully the system oppresses people. I’m so glad I served and I will continue to preach what I learned…

I should have guessed from the responses that you have witnessed this first hand in some way shape or form, like AmeriCorps. I have had friends who consider themselves progressive, but have a major blind spot in understanding the truly overwhelming obstacles that can be a person’s way when they are dealing with…

The family did try to contact the company and they were paying on the bill.

A good number of people who have millions aren’t the brightest bulbs. Money and privilege are quite helpful. Lack of those things can have devastating consequences.

Do you think she was eating too much avocado toast instead?

Maybe don’t fuck around making ignorant statements. There are usually medical hardship protections against shut off. Oh, the family tried it but the electric company didn’t have a record of it.

Your link is for Massachusetts legal aid website concerning the rights of people in Massachusetts.  This woman was in New Jersey, which, if my math is correct, is a different state.  You are bad at either reading or googling.

Do you have a soul? Asking for a friend.

i learned all this in americorps, too! generational poverty is fucking real, man, and it’s a bitch, and it doesn’t just mean you’re cash poor. 

I’m not saying you’re wrong, you really aren’t, but a good number of people who can’t pay their bills aren’t the brightest bulbs. We can’t even begin to imagine the mental gymnastics a small-ish percentage of the population has to do when performing simple tasks, if they can perform them at all.

Methinks Dolt 45 may have a slight problem with breastfeeding.

Of Googling--- WITH ELECTRICITY.

the sad truth is that lots of people don’t know about the resources that are out there. sometimes people don’t know where to start when they need help. people don’t have cash flow and access to google and the internet all the time.

lol you’re a fucking sociopath, someone died and you’re all “welp these companies gotta keep their doors open!”

OH CUZ EVERYONE THINKS CALMLY AND RATIONALLY WHEN IN DIRE STRAITS.

OH OK CUZ EVERYONE KNOWS ALL THESE LOOPHOLES RIGHT I FORGOT!

Head on back to Warsaw, comrade.

Im glad we dont live in one’a them commie countries with so-shul-ized medicine where a bunch’s byooo-ro-krats decide who lives and dies.
