      @NoJusticeNoPeace 3 года назад +61

      Why? None of them cared about you when you were homeless. I've lived in destitution all my life, been homeless repeatedly because landlords wouldn't accept someone with a disabilty even when I came with cash in hand, and I've learned how to survive on the edges by sleeping in sheds and eating out of dumpsters. Now let the middle class experience what everyone else has been living with for decades.

      @Fed-up I'm a sperglord. I can't do small talk, my interests are esoteric, and I talk, dress, and act so differently from most people that I've been told I come off like an "axe murderer." Apparently what bothers people the most is that I overshare with complete honesty; I lack whatever it is which allows most people to lie constantly and effortlessly about _everything._
      This means I can't hold any job for more than a few months even if I can manage to act my way through an interview, can't get landlords to rent me a home, get sub-standard health care, and so on. I've survived by doing work which doesn't require any physical contact with human beings (like writing erotica), but it's getting harder and harder to survive on the margins like that as the world becomes meaner and more conformist.

Disabled vet is honestly a very small minority of the general disabled population..... Not to mention disabled people lack a means to sustaining themselves from birth vs a vet who may have had family/friend/wife and saving already in addition to Vet benefits. I dont mean to compare the 2. Both deserve all that they can but it boggles my mind the govt doesn't distribute a clear legal service for disabled people....Like just act like they dont exist and people are only disabled from war

      Many parents are renters themselves and would risk eviction for overcrowding and/or taking on extra tenants not currently on the lease, if their adult children and families, were to come and live with them. Even landlords may be too restricted by the tenancy laws to be able to allow their tenants to live in such crowded conditions.

      ​@@andreamiller1285 Dear Andrea: We need more than term limits. We need a new US Constitution. NOWHERE in the present Constitution does it mandate the Fed Govt to care about public welfare, not during a pandemic or EVER. FDR recognized this structural deficiency in the Constitution in his last State Of The Union address in 1945 when he called for an Economic Bill Of Rights to mandate full time employment, free medical care, free education, expanded SocSec and more. Unfortunately he died soon after this speech. But what FDR admitted publicly is that the Constitution has such a basic flaw that it would require a number of amendments to fix it, as happened when the 1st Bill Of Rights was enacted. Remember that the American Revolution of 1776 was NOT a "people's revolution". It was literally a "businessmen's revolution". America freed itself from Britain for the benefit of American business, and not for the benefit of the American people as a whole. Therefore, the Rich White Men who founded this nation wrote a Constitution that was more like a corporate charter than a plan for a national government. That's the way that it's been since Day #1 in America, and what we see today is just the latest chapter. Another election, or another 10 more elections won't fix what's wrong with America, Andrea. It's time to substantially change the Constitution that all those elections are about. ( ruclips.net/video/3EZ5bx9AyI4/видео.html ) ... jkulik919@gmail.com

      Dear CCU- -NURSING: They are doing the people a "favor" because NOWHERE in the present Constitution does it mandate that the Fed Govt care for the people. Soc Sec, welfare, unemployment insurance, and the rest were literally FAVORS that the Fed Govt did for the people because the Constitution in no way requires these programs. That's exactly why it was easy for Reagan and those who came after him to whittle away at all those programs, namely because they were enacted by simple Law, and not by the requirements of the Constitution itself. ... jkulik919@gmail.com

    I’m moving back with my parents and told my landlord I’m leaving (I’ve paid until my last day already). She wants to show the house while I’m still living here because she’s legally allowed. It’s such a safety risk to let strangers in the house during a pandemic, and she couldn’t even wait a few weeks for me to be gone first. I’m leaving early so I don’t have to be in a house with strangers coming in. Meanwhile she’s neglected to fix a leak in the basement for two years. I’ve been here 5 years and never missed rent payment. Landlords are so ruthless and don’t care about their tenants. They only care about money. Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s right.

      That sounds awful. Your landlord is definetely a selfish person but not all landlords are like that. I live in South America and my parents have one very small house and a two room space (inherited and bought for a low price a long time ago) that they rent and they care about their tenants, they fix whatever problem that presents, they charge a small amount (less than the average price) and haven't collected the rent money since the pandemic started (they still work jobs and we are middle class) I believe landlords have to think about the future, put realistic prices and care for the tenants that take care of the property and pay on time (this covid time is an exception imo, I'd say divide the rent amount and pay it over, say a year).
      I do reckon that the housing and renting system in the U.S is terrible for so many people. It's so cold and disconnected to the working people's needs and mostly just defends the rich.

    New Orleans is the WORST when it comes to cruelty from the law, regarding evictions.
    I paid rent on a Tuesday, went to work on Weds, and about 10 minutes after I got home (after an 11 hour shift as a car repair shop manager/mech) the cops showed up and told me I had TEN MINUTES to leave! I was freaked. I'd just paid ALL the rent for me and my room mate the day before..... didn't matter.
    The thing is, is that the apt. manager hadn't added me to the lease yet. For whatever reason. I thought I was on the lease and the manager hadn't said a thing when I paid the rent the day before. So, my clinically schizophrenic room mate decided out of the blue he wanted me out. No clue, no warning and it seems he was off his meds.
    And me? I was out of luck. Didn't matter WHAT I said. Didn't matter I'd just shelled out $1600 the day before. I had ten minutes to grab what I could, and leave, or be arrested. I was blown away. I left New Orleans 2 weeks later.

I wanted to become a lawyer or doctor, but didn’t want the student loan debt nor the hours and misery of the downsides of the job.. like those you can’t help. I thought to myself, ‘what is a necessity?’.... auto repair. I didn’t know what to expect this year when the pandemic started. Turns out, people are fixing their cars and avoiding new financial commitments like buying new cars. I’m honest and provide a good, thorough, respectable service. I am thriving through this pandemic and no longer look down on my career choice. I used to think, ‘you could have been someone so much more respected..’ ... I am the proud owner of a skilled trade business.. and a woman... and barely 30. I decided I am giving back to my community by setting up a program where people can nominate a deserving local who is in dire need of auto repair who will receive such repair, for free, and a new person will be selected every two weeks.
