7,000,000 jobs are open....
Reminds me of a little sign we used to have taped to the refrigerator to try and teach the kids not to procrastinate (years ago), it went like this:
“Failure to plan on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.”
My son is now 50, and he can still quote that sign to this day. We have a good laugh about it...but it helped back then.
Go back to PR.
GO HOME Jose!!!!
Uh, the hurricane is over... Go home?
Jose could go back to PR and build a nice house out of the unused supplies we sent them.
The assistance was transitional.
If he failed to transition to permanent housing, he is going to have to do so suddenly. This is a choice on his part.
Not how I would have done it, but I can’t live his life for him.
He’s been here a year and living on yours and my dime for the whole time and we’re supposed to feel sorry for him because he can’t continue to bleed the taxpayers any longer? Let me thing about it. Hmm - nope f... him. Let the parasite go back to PR and vote democrat there and continue his stupid existence in PR.
If he can afford $800 a month, he could have been socking away those $800 for the last 12 months, and he would have almost $10,000 in the bank.
It is a heck of a lot easier to find decent housing when you have $10,000 in the bank. Using $10,000 as a down payment, he could set himself up in a modest house and start accumulating wealth.
Like 610 Columbia St in Orlando, selling for $64,900. Check it out on Zillow. It’s not a palace, but it beats the heck out of a hotel room!
I guess we’re supposed to wipe them, too?
Hurricane Maria was a YEAR ago! This deadbeat POS has been staying at Club USA all that time and now, at the last minute, he’s panicked because the gravy train’s about at the end of the line???
Throw his worthless, welfare-mooching butt on the first slow dinghy back to Puerto Reek-o.
Why is going back home to Puerto Rico off the table?
The same thing happened after Katrina. We had people who were being housed here in West Texas. Most left before their temporary help ran out, moving back to NOLA, joining family elsewhere, or making other arrangements for permanent housing. A small handful did exactly as this guy did, though; they failed to make other plans or arrangements for themselves and had to be pried out of their “temporary” housing.
A year’s worth of free housing is pretty darned generous, and I have no doubt the recipients are informed well in advance that the help has an expiration date.
The “lack of planning” saying is entirely appropriate.
They did a study and less than a third of them receive any kind of aid, and that’s mostly food stamps or aid (such as Medicaid) which they were already receiving before they came to the mainland. Most of them are middle class or better, and my building in Jax has gotten several prosperous Puerto Rican families (who are certainly not getting rental assistance!) and will probably stay here and not go back to the Dem controlled quasi socialist Puerto Rico. Too bad for PR, but until they get rid of the Dems, every day is a new hurricane.
However, the press wouldn’t mention this.
TIme to go home, I think. Use your homeowner’s insurance to rebuild your house, since the power is back on.
Oh, you didn’t have a house, and were living in some shanty, and didn’t have insurance because you were renting and the slumlord isn’t rebuilding?
Well, that’s the territory you live in, run by the government you elected. A year is long enough to get your life back together.
