Search Results: waste of money

be taken seriously?

While I don't disagree that society does not owe anyone anything and that there's nothing wrong with boomers enjoying their own money or wealth (mostly provided by their WW2 vet fathers), when boomers start increasing their retirement funds at the expense of all the younger generations' futures through taxes, that's when I started having serious problems with that generation yet they still have the fucking nerve to still call younger people like myself "lazy" and "self-entitled"(while many of them probably live comfortably in gated communities or suburbs) despite that I work 50 hours a week at my full-time job (getting only 5 hours of sleep per day at max) while I can barely even afford to go to college part-time. And no, I don't waste my money on updating my smartphone to the latest version or anything like many out-of-touch old farts assume about me. They all go to food, gas, and many other bills.

Donald Trump is being prosecuted for giving Stormy Daniels $130,000 of his OWN MONEY to be quiet about their affair, which is a misdemeanor in New York State. Meanwhile, why isn't Chirlane McCray being prosecuted (or at least vigorously investigated) for losing or misappropriating or stealing over $850 million in TAXPAYER DOLLARS as New York City's "Mental Health Czar" under the former mayor, Bill DeBlasio? By some accounts, she might've even made as much as $1.2 billion taxpayer dollars magically disappear. So why isn't Alvin Simon Theodore Bragg actively investigating this egregious financial matter?

Also, it's not "whataboutism", because if McCray was indicted and prosecuted for every $130,000 of taxpayer dollars she made vanish, she'd be facing at least a 6,538½ count indictment. That's based on the total amount being $850 million. If the total amount is actually $1.2 billion, she'd be facing a 9,230¾ count indictment. Just based on the mathematics alone, it seems more important to figure out what happened to $850 million (or $1.2 billion) of taxpayer dollars than to figure out what happened to $130,000 of non-public money. Makes "cents", right?

Enjoy GaG!

I say "save" meaning, recover his life so it isn't a waste. You see the problem, right?

You know the story, if not, here's a brief history:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/houston-teen-accused-paralyzing-woman-jugging-robbery-200000-bond-cut-half

* Pulled a gun on some people, $100 bond and released... stupid system!

* Attacked a woman stealing money, she's in traction now for a long time...

...

The woman, Nhung Truong, thankfully has family for support, but I can only imagine the support required. Look her up and help her out... you can do that by providing money, praying, helping others. After all... what do you do if you have to work, pay bills... and you are now paralyzed? This requires community support.

Do your homework, I believe this is the correct gofundme

... SAVING Him...

Here's the truth..."hurt people hurt people"! The young man, no matter how this goes... will be out of jail... that's our stupid system that bases decisions on "time" not "problem solved". Would you take your car to a mechanic, and he says..."took 5 hours... car released"! You ask, so the "so it's fixed right"? "No sir, spent time, send home... call us back if have more problem". WTF? That's what we do with messed up humans.

No you wouldn't, you'd lock up til fixed or dispose of that car because it's too far gone. So let's see your plan, since this is your world. My plan is he's immersed in God/Jesus Christ until his underlying emotional problems are resolved. Then he's retrained for job skills.. then F#$@#43ing released.

We gotta be smarter than this... could be you or me next...

I'm 27(will turn 28 later this year) and wasted my late teens and most of my 20s figuring out what I wanted to do with my life and made the mistake of giving myself a lot of debt with student loans. I've had off years in college getting new jobs for it to work out with my college schedule and if it's enough money to pay all the bills I currently pay. Now I'm 27 and only need one more year left to finish my undergraduate college degree and still live with parents. Pretty shameful and unideal life I currently live compared to those in their early 20s who've already accomplished far more in their lives than I ever have.
