Reply #80: Well, I have plenty of experience with being working poor... [View All]

...never been on assistance or anything, but it is one of my fears that I would end up disabled and unable to work, so I'm really not trying to be callous here.

The point of what she went through is coming through loud and clear. But that was paired with a call for every poor person to be given market-rate housing, and I'm sorry, that isn't going to happen, even if Obama or Hillary wins.

I doubt it would happen if Edwards were to win. Maybe bobbo has a sleeping arangement such that homelessness is near tolerable - obviously I know very little, but I know if I was on the street, getting off would be priority #1, and it's really hard for me to focus on anything but that.

Being in that complex was unpleasant, but people DIE on the streets and it's hard to get my mind off that.


Anyway, I'll refrain from further comment on this one, because I clearly don't know the whole story and don't want to come off as bullying somebody who's down.

Bobbo, you have all my best wishes, but I've briefly lived out of my car myself and I know for a fact that in that situation, kind wishes aren't worth diddly. I really hope you can get yourself situated somewhere good.

Take care.
