We caught the end of the latest episode whilst sitting down getting ready to watch Black-ish. It was the scene in the grocery store where Roseanne tries-but-fails to White Savior the moment but ends up being the most racist of all with the fertilizer “joke”. My friend and I could not believe what we had just heard. We…

I understand your point in a normal, everyone has expendable money world. However, I was referring mostly to my local newspaper and the homeless I deal with who have every right to also know what’s going on. Side note; I don’t eat out....there’s a lot of Phthalatesin’s in that food. If homeless people have taught me…

ALSO, and I have been saying this as a child in the 70's...could we PLEASE remove lobbyist money. We, the taxpayers, the People, should fund their runs with limited funds and the same to each person running so that there is a fairness of some kind from the very beginning. And when/if you don’t legitimately spend…

I’m surprised the baseball “advertisement” doesn’t also require you to call in and thank Guber Walker for the opportunity to own a piece of his crappy signature. I’ll assume he’s doing this now because he probably STILL hasn’t paid back his debts for his failed campaign run.

*Yes, it is true that he ran commercials…

This article and your comment = why this page is in my first and last news loads of the day.

Thanks for that bit of info as well. Most of the people I see at the shelter are older and not in school any longer, but I am working on a Bulletin to post for info and donations to help those who want accounts to get them. I have good tech skills, and I know there are ways to avoid the paywall, but I cannot allow…

Soooo true. I never understood the fawning over someone when we’re all just humans (I am autistic as well, but I am not sure that’s what makes me feel this way(?). I have admired people for their actions, but I have never thought anyone was better than anyone else. Now, I completely have categorical levels of…

Thank you Islandkiwi. I have passed this information on. I appreciate your time to write this reply.

Thank you for your very informative and helpful reply WLTaylor.

Thank you for your reply. I volunteer with the homeless and that was more about who I was thinking about because that is who expressed frustration. Not that most aren’t one check away. Thanks again :)

Thank you for your reply. I think my main point was the frustration of my own local newspaper more than anything. I support WAPO and NYT. I was spreading info I hear from the people around me and it was a thought I had because recently one of the low-income people wanted to post an obituary and the cost was over $500…

Heartily agree. Except, I’d like to point out that I wish Washington Post would offer free news. I know a lot of people who have zero idea what is going on because of paywall and it’s getting worse. Advertiser dollars pay enough to keep them alive, no? I live in a “small-ish” town that has one newspaper and they…

Every time this officer talks about “protecting these women” (*cough*bullshit*cough*) he makes me feel completely violated. My gut and my ears tell me he’s a creep of women in the highest form.

And my grammar is H O R R I B L E today! Ouch!

*Your, not you’re

First you try to convince us that facebook is where it’s at and expect us to listen. But you put “We” as in ownership and then deny it, so then want us to believe that crap too. I’m not fallin’ for it bro.

Umm, you do realize we have all existed longer than facebook has been alive? Like we built entire civilizations…

Please tell me this doesn’t include (most?) weather folk because there’s this one weather guy in my neck of the woods and I’d be heartbroken to learn my intuition is failing.

It’s not my mission to call out someone as good or bad. The article was mentioned by me to bring up topics of discussion. I also don’t think $1200 is much to owe, unless I guess if I was the single parent who had to carry this weight. Even if the ex is okay with it, she had to burden her life to make up the difference…

He’s not the hero you think he is or one that he is attempting to portray. Have a look for yourself.

Depending on the amount, you could always buy something like a sleeping bag, or some MRE’s, or a blanket and donate it to a homeless center/individual.

I was bullied all through school for not having a father growing up. One day I decided I didn’t want to hear it any longer, so I punched back. That bully that day got the living shit beat out of them. I took every pain, anger I had and applied it to them. Then, because we moved almost every year, sometimes 3 times (3…
