The 456.00 we get in foods stamps doesn't go far with me and the 2 boys...Fortunately, if I can say that, Just started getting SS survivor benifts due to my son's passing, Opioids, Smart good looking Kid, Out worked anyone on a job

No Shit Story, working on a 3m Dollar house, a young man was late one Friday morning, he had run out of gas,,He said I buy one six pack a week for myself every pay day, the rest goes to bills, I'm working on building a 3m Dollar house and I ran out of gas, I don't get it

I agree with all of that. Income inequality is out of control. What people in need get as part of a social safety net is beyond inadequate. We really, really need to find a way to fix that.

I'm so sorry about your son.

So very sad and a harsh reminder of the realities of this world we live in today. I had 2 daughters. The oldest passed in her sleep several years ago at 34. The ex-wife's family chooses to believe it was untreated diabetes cuz that's what was put on the death certificate. Being a recovering alcoholic of 29 years myself I know what it really was. I made it out alive. She didn't. Addiction sucks! I wish nothing but the best for you and those boys!

If you let anyone here run you off I'll come looking for you!
