There's a down under joke somewhere within this hall-of-fame name.

quote:

---

she struggled to find a job with hours flexible enough to get her other children to and from school.

She had pursued a bachelor's degree in social work but paused her own education to focus on her growing family.

There’s a whole lot of bad choices in there, yet the reporter tries to portray her as some kinds of martyr.

You know what happens when you feed the bears ?????

And that's why a lot of people are in the situation they are in. Its all about managing. Whether its your money, your life, etc it all comes down to managing.

If you get x amount of money a month you figure out how much you can spend on a place to live, food, gas, car note, etc, but there are too many vices out there that people can't control themselves. And they have never been taught because they always find away to get just enough to get by so when you give them a lump sum, they don't know what to do.. especially if it gives them an opportunity to do shite they want to do.

And as I am typing this, it makes me think about when I was younger.. teenager I guess. I was always curious as to home people who were poor was always able to find money for cigarettes. I know cigarettes are addictive, but it shows you that people will always find away to get what they really want.

They will go without certain things in order to feed that addiction. There needs to be away to flip that around.

Bruh, that’s Sha-nay-nay

I doubt that's what the typical family did

So what’s lost in all this is that whatever the money was spent on Can and should be achieved through actually working, being responsible about when and how many children you have, but of course we’re not gonna suggest people should have to work to get things.
