“It is time the kids find out that the party is over and real life is going to hit them in the face”
This past Friday on my way home from work I passed a spot where “homeless people” usually older gents, hold up their panhandling signs and there were two twenety somethings with their hand out. Both the young man and his girl were obviously able bodied yet would rather stand on the corner than do some honest work. I hope they are in for a very RUDE awakening.

Yes, they more than likely found out that there was money to be made in panhandling.

Again, if they were from Nevada or like I am 25 miles from a Nevada on the border casino area, there are no jobs.

Today’s Fox news in Las Vegas says that they have a 10% unemployment rate.

That sounds about right, as Laughlin laid off all they dared and cut the rest to less than 40 hours.

But even hunger does not give one the right to be rude.
