Search Results: if you had a million dollars

okay so a bit of background, my parents and I don't have an AMAZING relationship. It's always been rocky to say the least. My childhood wasn't super awesome either. Like they tried but we were homeless more often than not.

Well I'm 22 now and my boyfriend turned 30 recently. He comes from a family of small means as well, so neither of us have had any college education. I work in a warehouse for $12.00 an hour, he works at as a supervisor at walmart for $15.00 (about to be $18.00)

HOWEVER. My Step father is an incredible man. He was 25 when he met my mother who had 5 kids from a previous marriage (I am the second 0ldest) they had 7 more together making it 12 total. And he has worked for everything he has. Within the past 3 years he's started his own conveyor belt company, and staffing company. He now has a net worth of over 1 million dollars and his welders alone average between making $100 grand to $130 grand a year.
He wants to start a fabrications shop to build to tools for his welding company. He's my boyfriend and I to run it. We would EACH be averaging about $100 grand a year. Give or take, i would be Forman and my boyfriend would be superintendent. Now the only reason my boyfriend says he hasn't worked my step father before is because he doesn't want to travel. Well now my step dad wants to station this shop just 1 hour from where we currently live, so if we lived just 25 minutes from the shop, the drive between there and my boyfriends hometown would only be 10 minutes more. Yet my boyfriend for whatever reason isn't jumping at the opportunity.

As I said, I'm 22 and he's 30. The opportunity to make roughly $100,000 a YEAR is just falling in our lap. Am I insane for thinking this is a good opportunity?

From the very beginning I was shocked at the $30+ million dollars being donated to bail funds, because they bail out rioters.

But it also turns out that aside from crimes during riots, they bailed out violent criminals such as an alleged murderer, a twice-convicted rapist, and someone who committed assault (and then went on to commit another assault after being bailed out, leaving the person with a traumatic brain injury).

"Minneapolis television station KMSP aired a report documenting how, after receiving the donations, MFF had bailed out a number of people charged with violent crimes, including posting $100,000 for a woman accused of killing a friend and $350,000 for a twice-convicted rapist charged with kidnapping, assault and sexual assault in two separate cases...

KMSP was able to determine MFF’s involvement because defendants file a document saying the bail money should be given to MFF. Tom Lyden, a KMSP investigative reporter, graciously provided a photo of one of those documents and other information gathered for his report.

After Lyden’s report aired, Lionel Timms, a man whom MFF bailed out on an assault charge in July, was charged with committing third-degree assault on Aug. 14, leaving the victim with a traumatic brain injury and a fractured skull."

This is even worse than I anticipated.

To the people who supported (or still support) the bail funds: Did you know they were bailing out rioters and violent criminals, including alleged murderers and rapists?
If so, why did you still support them?
And if not, do you still support them now that you know?

Lets say you will get paid a million dollars but you have to wear a flower in your hair all week.

Dudes, do it? Don't do it? Decisions!!!
