D.C. welfare moms are having to put up with lodging in hotels that give them prepared meals, cable TV, internet WiFi access, and maid service that don't meet their standards:
"Tiera Williams and her four children dodge cars on a winter evening as they cross the parking lot of the Days Inn to the Washington motel room the children call "Mommy's house."
"People at the Days Inn - one of at least 12 motels being used by the city to house 730 homeless families this winter â lean over the balcony that overlooks the courtyard lit by the December glow of yellow lights."
"They occupy a hidden world of desperation and poverty mixed with every-other-day maid service, free WiFi, continental breakfast in the lobby, and lunch and dinner in the 170-room motel's banquet room."
Lunch and dinner in the banquet room meets my definition of hidden desperation.
"They've been living here since August when Williams - then six months pregnant and unemployed with no place to go â called the city's homeless hotline.
She opens the door to her unit, ushering her children inside a space that she describes as "the size of two jail cells." The decor is pleasant enough, with maroon carpeting, wood paneled headboards and a television in an armoire near a bathroom vanity."
If Tiera is unhappy with her room, why doesn't she go to the front desk and change her reservation to get a larger suite, as any person paying her own way would do?
"Williams dumps bags of groceries on the motel room desk. In the mini refrigerator, she stacks yogurt, apples, oranges and a roasted chicken they will have for dinner that night. She uses her food stamps to buy meals because she doesn't like eating the pasta, casseroles, chicken, hot dogs and other dishes the city provides at the motel."

Where were you, Sky Pilot? To me it sounds like Costa Rica.
Thanks for the positive reinforcement.
My opinion is that a person’s vocabulary can never be too large, especially when insulting large groups of people over the internet for their torpid, dissipated and squandered lives.
Keep in mind we are referring to a demographic that is incredibly fecund.
I agree she was filth. Completely. They won’t admit it but she is their pathfinder and her legacy lives on..
Regardless of political persuasion, when you start targeting peoples for your specialized services for the sole point of making money and gaining political power, you are in the same boat as Hitler, Stalin and all the other tyrants this world has ever seen.
Never fear, Bernie sanders shall provide her with a mansion, a new car, gourmet meals, and other fruits of coerced largesse.
Which baby daddy?
Shew has 4 sniveling brats already.
I actually lived in a motel once. Was moving to Vegas and my boyfriend and his brother had already rented a house for us all but it was about a month 1/2 before it would be ready. A friend of theirs owned it and they were redoing it. He and I lived in a motel with a kind of kitchenette. No room service really but the housekeeper came every other day.
I kind of liked it. lol
Why? Is someone holding some sort of rallye in the parking lot that would necessitate pedestrians dodging all those cars?
99.9999% of all cars in a parking lot are immobile. Makes 'dodging' pretty easy, no?
The overwhelming majority of the world’s problems could be solved by refusing to pay people to breed.
It would be interesting to know how many of that type actually do vote. It would seem that laziness about one's own future would flow over into an inconvenience like getting to the polls on election day, or filling out one of those tricky absentee ballots and getting it in on time.
True. To be honest, the reviews weren’t all that bad for a welfare motel. I have seen much worse. On the other hand, the bullet proof glass, the permanently closed swimming pool and the bedbugs do provide a hint. And I like the way Yelp software features the bloody bedbug photo. Yow!
There are a number of names for folks like that (and there are a lot of them) in this country. Uncle Tom, Aunt Jemima, House Nigga, Sellout...and lots of others less polite. And only hung upon them by "their own" people.
What a thankless deadbeat. Jail cell? Then put me away.
Photos of the rooms at the Days Inn at Connecticut Ave., Washington, DC:
I love staying in motels/hotels. Not flea bags mind you. But I find nothing wrong with a Days Inn.
... I donât think thatâs biologically possible. But Iâve been wrong before.
27-28-29s abound, though.
This one was about par with a Days Inn. Was on S Maryland Parkway.
The OT way of leaving some gleanings in the field for them to eat was very appropriate.......................
“27-28-29s abound, though. “
Yes, and that’s scary enough. But not unexpected given the way pop culture and the welfare state push things.
