    So many of us are 1-4 paychecks from being houseless! It's ridiculous to think you're better than someone else.

    Dude is young and in shape. He needs to buckle down and start working hard. No reason he would be homeless. I work at SeaTac making nearly $30 as a ramp lead. Only took me a year. Starts off at $23/h. Start working some doubles and stack Ot. He can get an apartment in a month. Studios for $900 in Tacoma. I have co workers with face tattoos. I don’t wanna hear excuses about how it’s hard to get a job. It’s really not

      He says: Not everybody is that nice....not all tenants are nice. There is a lot of crime happening in those tent communities...rapes, murders, arson. And this dude knows it perfectly well.

      I don’t think it’s as easy to get and keep a job if you’re in the instability of homelessness, but if housing is available and given I don’t think it’s too much to have some expectations of keeping (at the very least) a part time job, community service, etc. everyone also seems to be without phones. Maybe there should be specific locations with phones that the homeless could use to call for resources specifically and even outreach to facilitate/coordinate getting a roof and a job. I still think a lot of folks out on the street don’t want stipulations on help and that bothers me. If you want help you’d be willing to put in a little work and sacrifice as well. I don’t see why that’s an egregious concept.

      People never factor in mental health. He/they don't sound stable to me. I'm not making excuses for them, but they need mental health help first. He also has a disability, not sure why that's not a factor.

      How is she pregnant, homeless and vaping? How does she afford vaping? That poor unborn child.

  • @Golden-m8k
    @Golden-m8k 2 місяці тому +22

    $16.66 is min wage in WA. $16.66 × 8 hr x 20 work days X 2 people = $5,331 per month. That's enough to get a studio apt for a couple, food and enough for a little savings. she is pregnant yet she is vaping? You both are obviously educated and articulate. You guys can def get decent jobs.

      It's actually better than smoking and a lot of doctors will tell you to start vaping insst and if smoking when you're pregnant. Obviously not using nicotine is best. But vaping is way safer than smoking. So good for her.

    So irresponsible to become pregnant when you are in this situation. I have MS and I manage to work full time. I know everyone has different levels of disability but just the diagnosis itself doesn’t mean you automatically can’t work. Living in the Seattle area is expensive but you can’t expect handouts for everything. You need to do what you need to do to get into a place. You guys need to get your shit together for your soon to be born child.

    Shyt is pushing people to the brink. But to the brink of what…Civil War? Who TF is that greedy? Like do these people expect to still live in AMERICA? I don’t condone violence, but the Luigi situation should be a wake up call. You can’t screw people over until they’re backed into a corner..and expect them not to strike back?
