Nothing that higher taxes, more free shit, and unrestricted immigration won't solve.

Those suitcases full of cash to the City Council members from drug dealers don't hurt, either.
After all, where are we as a society without compassion.

Neal, 68, originally from Brentwood, California, was sitting on the steps of his RV parked outside the Venice Whole Foods ...

I asked if he was an artist himself.

“Oh no,” he said, “I do fiber-optic multiplexes.”

Neal is mostly retired but said he can make up to $4,000 a week setting up fiber-optic networks, if he chooses to work. “My normal pay, I’m pretty much spoiled rotten,” Neal said.

Had he tried finding an apartment, I asked?

“I’ve checked into living in an apartment, even a room in a house in Venice; if you don’t have at least $6,000 up front you can forget it. First, last, and security deposit. Plus they’re gonna run a credit check on you. Even if you’re just renting the house they’ll still run it.”/


Sooo, the guy can earn $4K per week but $6K upfront to rent an apartment is such a huge problem that he lives in a fucking RV on a fucking street instead? He can earn a fucking SV engineer kinda money but we are supposed to feel sorry for him?

... the couple was from Arkansas. They had been in LA for less than a year but on and off the streets since they were teenagers.

Cora ... was thirty-two ... Taylor was twenty-nine ...

Cora did most of the talking. “In the Midwest, where I’m from, if you go in anywhere right then and there you can get help. Immediately. Obviously you need help because you walked in that door. But here they’re gonna make you wait,” she said.

She talked about days spent standing in lines, making appointments, biding time in plastic chairs, a routine of hurrying up and waiting. Even after all that waiting, she felt, “If you need something they don’t have it. They really don’t.”

What kind of stuff? I asked.

“Maybe a blanket,” she said. “Some clothes.” There were penalties for being reasonable, they felt. Crazy people who didn’t mind yelling and causing a scene got priority and access to resources like city bus passes while people like Cora and Taylor were at a disadvantage among the needy.

Later, Cora said, “I can’t really hold a job. I’ve been trying to apply for SSI. Being autistic and bipolar, I haven’t really been able to hold a job.”

“Last job I had was in 2011,” said Taylor.

“In Arkansas he worked for like a pizza place for probably a month or two,” Cora added. “He has no patience, bad temper.”


Two able-bodied young people from Arkansas who don't work, chose to move to California and complain that the stuff they need is not given to them right away but they actually have to stand in line some. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them too? Is it our fucking fault they have no shame and chose to live like a fucking parasites?

Yes. CA is where we teach people that the victimhood olympics is how you get stuff. Nevermind that whole "work" thing.

Yes my entitled child. We know you came to CA for the free stuff. You'll get it soon. After all, how else are you supposed to get your soy lattes considering that you "cant" hold a job, and "couldnt" even try for the last 8 yrs. As long as you stay "reasonable" and try one job per 10 yrs it will be ok. Now that you're in CA you'll learn fast and pick up some new tricks, like reminding people how oppressed you are, to help ease the govt purse strings faster.

Nevermind the huge sense of self-entitlement, and the total bullshit of not being able to have a job since 2011, esp in this economy:

They couldn't apply for SSI in far cheaper Arkansas? It's a Federal program.

Gary Numan is autistic, as are a huge chunk of people in STEM. They make 6 figures and up.

I like how the only sob stories the "journalist" have found to illustrate "the plight of the CA middle class due to raising rents in LA" have nothing to do with the raising rents in LA.
8   MisdemeanorRebel   2019 Aug 21, 11:20am  

I fail to see how two lazy kids from the midwest who moved to California, who claim to be abnormal and haven't worked in years, are examples of the Middle Class.

Wouldn't that be somebody who has a middling job in Accounts Payable or some shit?

One thing California confers in spades is that anybody that washes in on the tide and sticks has an enormous sense of entitlement to be here. Smug, psychotic, assaultive and entitled are the order of the day, encouraged by Nanny Dipstick LibbyFucks.

Hey, Jizz Muzak, are you trying to bomb this thread with some irrelevant shit about "racism"?

Can you explain what "racism" has to do with the two sob stories feautured in the original article? Are you saying that these people are the victims of anti-White "racism"?

Nearly all chemical engineers I know are somewhat autistic. Seems that being autistic is a prerequisite for knowing math well.

The rich are required to pay a fairer share reverse the breakdown of family and community that has made homelessness so intractable.


No Fault Divorce, Ending Mandatory Mental Hospitalization, Toleration of Drug Users, Free Needles for Addicts, Decriminalization of Felonies (inc. ban on cash Bail in Chicago, NJ, etc.), behavior modification free benefits instead of obligations in exchange for support for single moms, and Clown World Transqueer

None of those were Conservative Agendas.

edit: Said "Cash Bonds" instead of "Cash Bail". By law, Judges are now simply releasing violent felons direct into the street pending their appearance.

Fuck these idiots. They can pick strawberries with the illegals or they can starve to death. Either way is good. Starving to death is better because it would be a crying shame if they reproduced more of their ilk!

There are no such things as criminals. Only evil white people who want to infringe on creative life styles.

Liberals are autistic.

LOL! The combination of taxation+regulation to punish people for working, and welfare to incentivize people not to work . . . of course leads to the obsolescence of the self-supporting and relatively independent middle class. It's the Demonrat slavers' core political agenda all along since even before the Civil War!

"Being autistic and bipolar, I haven’t really been able to hold a job.”

If she can talk like this to a journalist she can certainly hold a job. Mild autism and enthusiasm/mania about the work you do can actually get you pretty far. If you aren't lazy. I remember manically working on my first big and important code projects, hardly socializing. Coming back at 2 am from the labs, taco bell, one episode of tng rerun, bed and back to the lab between 10-11am. Rinse repeat. Sometimes we'd sleep in the medical rooms for a few hours and then continued coding. She's likely a bum using questionable dxes as a scapegoat.
