  1. In these small little bites no one is aware of the total story. Family issues are complex and no one should judge what’s going on. The issue is more that people inappropriately vote for politicians and policies that aren’t in their best interest. People can best help themselves and help others by educating themselves and taking care on who and what they are voting for

  2.  @catdooley4616 indeed that ship sailed back in November, well then I guess people will have to live with what they’ve unleashed and it’s only due to get worse.

  5. He needs to be connected with senior services/social worker in San Diego County as I find it difficult to believe that senior housing costs that much. VA can assist with some stuff, some things depend on how many years of service you actually put in and if you put in time during a war (for instance was he actually boots on the ground during Viet Nam for instance, I think he would have been too old for Desert Storm) Additionally there are very cheap areas to live in California, it’s just not going to be in San Diego, LA or San Francisco. With their health issues I would say they are better off in an apartment than a transportation vehicle.

  6. Social security was never set up to be the sole support for anyone throughout their retirement. People needed to make saving a priority and a lot of people haven’t and unfortunately a lot of people still don’t. Food banks that I was associated with required people to have a social security number, several forms of ID and the amount of groceries provided were dependent upon the household size. A lot of people I saw in the food lines given where I live, reflected the American majority demographic, men and women; quite a few with incredibly expensive and nice cars including one who was driving a cyber truck, several in huge escaladles, F150s, BMWs, Mercedes. Other food banks are supported by the community, donations and/ or churches etc where there is no legal status requirement for receiving food, the Y I go to work-out is in the inner city and they have such a food bank. All kinds of people come there, overwhelmingly they are legally here or are citizens. Immigrants are not sucking up your benefits. Most of them work and pay taxes yet won’t be eligible for social security nor most benefits, depending on your state. The monkey on most peoples back is poor financial planning in youth and continued frivolous spending without discipline.

  9. What’s annoying was that the platform could have brought up project 2025 prior to the election. When there were claims that both parties are essentially the same, only one party was promoting project 2025.

  10.  @JuliaB1955 you haven’t read Project 2025 and how that affects Medicare and Medicaid, if these two women think they don’t have anything now they’ll have even less with your favorite color.

  11.  @minigirl6839 what state do you live in the undocumented people get all these benefits.

  12. I’m thinking about signing up for one of those jobs with Fair housing where you go in as a person of color to see if you can rent and if you can’t that owner gets burned for discrimination.

  13. I always escalate it to the next level when I can’t get a response. If I were told the GM was on the phone I would have asked them to send him a note and I would wait in the lobby for about 20 min. If nothing happened then I would say I needed to speak to whoever manages him and their name. And start asking for everyone’s names who work there. It’s amazing how soon someone then becomes available.

  16.  @TheDinergirl08 you need to go back and make up that quarter. 40 is 40, not 39. That’s the rules for everyone, not just you.

  17.  @deed421  there are a lot of systemic reasons why people of color are not in nursing homes. Yes some of them are cultural, where the assumption is that you will take care of the elderly. However to make a leap to assume that many people of color are taken care of by their families isn’t accurate. Many people of color have higher death rate and die younger not needing extended nursing care facilities. Why? Some lifestyle choices but much more do to societal oppression, lack of health care services, access to good markets and food, education and employment. Typically having less insurance coverage and income they aren’t going to have access to long term care as long term care is expensive. If in California they can maybe get into a medi- cal funded facility but those are typically so bad, statistics show that an elderly person is not going to last much more than 3 months. People are making judgements about this man not knowing much of anything about him or his kids. I don’t know anything about him or his kids. But I do know, because of my field of work, family dynamics are complicated. I’m not making these next statements about this man and his family … so do not take it that I am Making any connections to HIM. Family backgrounds as I stated are complicated. You don’t know what adult children’s experiences are to their parents. If you have a healthy relationship and are in a position financially and emotionally to take care of your parents good for you; everyone should have positive experiences. Far more of the population than you know are abused adult children. Abuse can be in the form of sexual (yes incest is rampant in our society, it’s just not talked about), physical and emotional. Domestic violence is also high, again not something that everyone is out there talking about. Adult children might be making decisions and taking steps to try and protect their own children from the background that they have experienced. And if that’s the case good for them. Generational abuse is also a problem and unhealthy adults usually perpetuate the cycle of whatever abuse they have experienced.

  18. Love the pattern on that backpack and that rug!! It also looks like a pretty sturdy rug.. mine was already falling apart before I even got started. Don’t forget the links Carol!

  19.  @MauiGurrl people on this forum aren’t interested in hearing that, it’s more convenient to blame other things and people.

  20. I use that Kirkland canned chicken all the time to make chicken salad for sandwhich es or on top of a bed of lettuce. I’ve also used it with a can of white beans, chopped

  22. I did well, my savings which tanked by over a third in 2006-2008 recovered over the 8 years between 2008-2016. Then it was down, up, up down whenever someone opened their mouth … and then it finally recovered and stabilized over the last couple of years.

  23. A businessman who filed bankruptcy seven times, who never paid his contractors, lost money on a casino, and spends his time grifting people. 😂😂😂 the lowest common denominator is pretty dang low.

  24. How do truckers really feel about some small van parking sort of near them. I feel safer when I’m near truckers. But I’ve heard they get annoyed with vans.

  25. People are pretty ignorant because components for parts etc are manufactured abroad and sometimes assembled here. And of course the last time retaliatory tariffs screwed over soy bean farmers and who bailed them out? American tax payers. Completely unnecessary and ignorant move.

  26. No. They didn’t find the dog.

  32. A little early … but happy birthday! Ummm…. What about the so cal lunch on December 10th. Can you put up a poll and find out who is interested in coming. And if their preference is for restaurant or beach which may be cold.

  33.  @msfullroller  thank you. People are so quick to start screaming about what they would do, and what is right, not understanding they live in their own bubble. I remember watching the Today Show years ago and one of the hosts was all pissed off that stores were going to be open on thanksgiving day. My thought of course was … here’s another person living in their own bubble and in her case her own bubble of privilege. She had no clue or capacity to think that there are different people living in this country …. Not every one celebrates thanksgiving, someone resettling here/immigrating here will have their own celebrations, people who typically have jobs in retail might welcome the opportunity to work to have more money to support their family since they don’t make much anyway, for some people working might be an escape from a chaotic family at home, maybe it’s a women who is squirreling away money to get away from her abusive husband. Just because SHE didn’t like the idea and that it shouldn’t be done, doesn’t mean that it should be that way for everyone. She showed she had no capacity or forethought to educate herself outside of herself.

  34.  @Out_GalliVANtin trump makes the US available to the highest bidder. Whoever is able to pay the most amount of money. I’m sure the Saudi’s and Russians are annoyed that Musk is in the game. But as a wealthy person who believed and supported the ideologies behind apartheid, it really wasn’t hard to put together.

  35. Well done! Specifically what I asked for!! 😂

  36. Hi Joy.. how tall are you. I have a Sienna and at 5’2” it doesn’t seem I can stretch out. It must be much narrower in the back.

  38. Memories are short. Although we only needed to go back to 2016 when tariffs cost tax payers millions because farmers lost their soybean crop due to tariffs so other countries went elsewhere and those countries haven’t come back and certainly won’t now.

  39. Yea, my relatives were beaten, lynched, dragged through the streets, beaten by clubs, bitten by dogs, sprayed with water cannons…. My ancestors would haunt me if I didn’t vote.

  42. I was trying to recently explain to a group of people that this happens everywhere… restaurants, airports, hotels, basically just going about your daily activities of living as a person of color. They said some of it was probably in my mind. Slow service at a restaurant; in my mind. Followed around in a department store; in my mind. The promotion of a white man with less education and experience; in my mind. For those who are allies, who really believe in doing away with racism and vote appropriately, I really appreciate your efforts. But if you mouth that you don’t like racism and it shouldn’t exist and continue to vote for the same politicians who openly spout their ugliness, you continue to be part of the problem and the problems of racism in this country. When there is equity for people of color, there is equity for everyone.

  44. A ten year old shouldn’t need an escort to the bathroom. He should already have skills on how to navigate potential inappropriate people. Mom could have waited outside the mens room.

  45. Yet he surrounds himself by the people involved in writing it.
