I can't believe what DUmb-ass posted.
Going to bed, night all.
Looking back I can almost understand the complaints from the Dump.
Living 1/4 mile from a ghetto opened my eyes to what was going on in large city's. There was a large market within walking distance of the ghetto and across the street a small mom and pop store. I went in to the small store one day for a pack of cigarettes and the first thing I noticed was the smell, not pleasent at all.
The old man running the store had a side arm on his belt, he may have been Italian and did speak with an accent. I cruised about the few isles and the fresh produce was wilted, the meat case had ice and some of the canned goods were out of date by a month or more. How did this family stay in business with a huge clean well kept market across the road from them.
Ghetto living 101, how to survive in the big city's when you are getting section 8 and food stamps.
Lesson one, Buy what you can 2 days before food stamps arrive. Both the big chain markets and the mom and pop stores spend all night raising the prices on food by a nickle or a dime.
Mom and pop stores extend credit to their customers and will except food stamps for toilet paper, soap, shampoo and sometimes beer and Mad Dog. Some of them also run a tab to be paid in " found TVs and what not" much like a hock shop. Shop here and then buy crap for a discount.
The big chain markets are used only for spices and what ever else one can stuff in their shirt of bag. Fill up a basket of $30.00 worth of food, pay with food stamps and walk out with $75.00 worth of expensive meats and goodies on your person.
Dangerous for the consumer, one small M&P store was busted for selling baby formula over a year past sell by date, a couple dozen people had very ill children from that shit.
Far away from the Southern city's into the small towns in the North, I can see similarity's outside our Ghettos and section 8 housing. Not as drastic as the South but getting there.
Today our local Wallmart in a small town is a super store, has a big food section etc. The meats are gross, the vegetables and fruit section is not nice at all. The local markets are more expensive but is far fresher then Walmart. Good buys on canned and packaged food, just forget the meats and vegetables.
Ghetto survival 101 is no joke, few can have a garden in the projects, high rises or apartment buildings. Few have a choice between toilet paper and soap and a 20 pound bag of beans and rice.
We live in our own little world by economics and and family training. Seldom do we venture out to see how others live, or try to understand why or what is happening to others. Do we even care about others that survive on rules different from ours?????
Christians are the only people that stand back, do not judge and help anyone regardless of their station in life. Christians get right in there and as Jesus did mingle with all people to understand why and what is going on. Only to not judge but try to understand others even when we do not share their life, is a duty put on us by Jesus. Jesus would not call the poor, the diseased, animals, he would recognise that those that are not like his people are the meek that will in herate the Earth.
