What It's Like To Be Poor - And Make Terrible Decisions
Zero Hedge ^ | 11-23-13 | Linda Walther Tirado

Posted on 11/24/2013 12:09:12 PM PST by dynachrome

The closest Planned Parenthood to me is three hours. That's a lot of money in gas.

Convenience food is just that. And we are not allowed many conveniences. Especially since the Patriot Act passed, it's hard to get a bank account. But without one, you spend a lot of time figuring out where to cash a check and get money orders to pay bills. Most motels now have a no-credit-card-no-room policy.

I smoke. It's expensive. It's also the best option. You see, I am always, always exhausted. It's a stimulant. When I am too tired to walk one more step, I can smoke and go for another hour.

You can read all about her and donate here, if you wish. I won’t. In nine days she has raised more than I make in a year. I ain’t poor. (Is she on medicaid, food stamps, HUD,etc.?)

Anyone who can afford a carton of cigarettes has plenty of money for luxuries.

I was always raised to believe that the bad decisions come before the poor.

Stupid should hurt. It tends to mitigate future unwise decision making.

Zero Hedge is a strange place. I visit it every now and then to read articles which seem to originate with people who have an inside view of the economies of this country.

However, its changed quite a bit in the past few months. Seems to me to be populated by out-of-work, former business executives with huge chips on their shoulders.

Some of their comments are incredibly funny and, at times, brazenly racist. It's a fight club, after all (Tyler Durbin was the name of Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club).

Thanks to the “$53,831 raised by 1,840 people in 10 days”...

Source: http://www.gofundme.com/59yrak

...that this woman has raised TAX FREE, she’s able to “...I am quitting one of my day jobs. The one that is an hour’s drive through snow in the mountains....”.

My opinion is that this woman (if the writer is actually a woman and is the woman in the picture) is a Bullshitter and a grifter. And a very successful grifter at that. I’d sooner give to one of the “Nigerian princes” from whom I receive emails occasionally.

If you took all the money from the rich and gave it to the poor, the rich would get it all back, and more within a few years.

We can criticize her, but the fact is that she’s not sitting around on her hind end, getting drunk, collecting welfare, and smoking crack. She’s working two jobs, she’s writing, and she’s going to college. And she didn’t abort that baby, so that’s another point in her favor.

“Nobody gives enough thought to depression. You have to understand that we know that we will never not feel tired. We will never feel hopeful. We will never get a vacation. Ever. We know that the very act of being poor guarantees that we will never not be poor. It doesn’t give us much reason to improve ourselves.”


What self pitying garbage.

She says she has no reason to improve herself.Then why on earth is she attending school??

A ridiculous,whining essay.
