Well yeah ... that's what I meant ;-)
ROFLOL!
She is 408 months old, been pregnant about 90 months, had to sleep some time, could not have had much time left to work!
I guess she never heard of public transportation. This article ticks me off instead of doing what it was intended to do. I have trouble being sympathetic to someone so irresponsible.
"The kids can't go to school, they have no clothes." --Lie
"I can't work because my van broke down."--Lie, ride the bus, get a job at the hospital, I see jobs all the time for nurses listed. There is a shortage.
"I was engaged but daddy moved to the east coast." Oh the horror, moving to spend your life with someone who fathered 8 of your children. Oh the humanity...
No clothes, so no school? Van broken, so no work?
Yeah ... by all means folks, give some money to help this bimbo out so she can carry on.
You're probably right, if welfare still pays a per-child premium. However, even a nurses' aide can make as much as $10-$15/hr in nursing homes. I worked my way though college as a nurses' aide. The trick is (1) work innner-city homes, which give "danger pay", and (2) work through a staffing agency, which pays 50% more but still gives you 40+ hours. You can also clean up in a place that pays time and a half for overtime or per diem work.
My dad was an LPN, and he made as much as $50/hr, though $20/hr was more usual. The higher pay was for Christmas eve in a bad part of Boston--and in fact he was robbed that night, by a street gang looking for narcotics.
Worst case should be around $6 for a nurses' aide starting out, and $12 for an LPN starting out. "Low pay," I spose. But if welfare beats that, then welfare is a serious racket.
I wonder about the neighbor that is single with 5 children...
The article states she has been living off of child support.
What a whining loser. We'll be seeing her 'chilrun' in lockup real soon.
So you worked your way through college on $10 an hour. Did you pay childcare and other expenses for ten kids on that?
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;"
Apparently he maketh her lie down in a lot of other places too.
I know nothing about where this women lives, but I know I've lived places where public transportation didn't exist... I'm not going to presume that a woman who hasn't worked in a few weeks over car trouble is inately sucking down society.
There aren't busses everywhere... perhaps there are where she lives, perhaps not, I don't know.. but there are a LOT of places where public transportation does not exist.
Truly impossible and therefore ridiculous!
I'll donate some duct tape, so long as she uses it to keep her legs together.
I believe the NDN runs feature stories like this on the front page with tongue-in-cheek. They run stories like this quite often no doubt to demonstrate the degree of stupidity in our society.
You are right, there's a big difference in pay for an R.N., L.P.N. and a Nurse's Aide or assistant. A difference because of the education levels among them.
An R.N. where I live commands decent pay and I suspect it is the same everywhere.
If she is an LPN, she's taking care likely of folks in their own homes.. which makes doing the job in an area without GOOD public transportation next to impossible without a car.
So ready to jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts....
She was once engaged to be married to the man who fathered eight of her children, but he moved back to the east coast instead.
This is just disgusting. At least someone is paying child support.
I'm totally against state foster parent schemes, but am for a return to state operated orphanages (or, childrens' homes.)
These ten fatherless children should be taken from this breed sow in order that they might have a chance some day. As it stands they have no chance.
