Not that 45 degrees makes it that much better, but look at the screenshot in the OP again.

Freezing cold and that chick was out there with the kid. Why isn't that child abuse? No doubt she is illegal and is being pimped by Senor Cartelman.

So I'm in the know about this as my sauce is a special division in the DA's office. Those women are not only trafficked, but put to work to earn their coyote travel $$ back.....which of course will never get paid off. They become addicted to drugs and either killed or apprehended by authorities.

Essentially these women have paid someone to kill them which is the tragic part.

So why aren’t they scooped up by authorities if this is a possibility? If all checks and they aren’t trafficked or illegal, set them loose.

I don't know, but hispanic women work their arse off.. In general.

I go to this Mexican food truck run and owned by this hispanic lady. She always tells me in a Mexican accent "don't forget. If you ever want anything and we are not open. Call my number and I will cook for your any time. No extra charge".

The woman makes the best pork hot tamales I ever ate.

Would you rather them just walk around with their hands out like the white and blacks at intersections?

I actually don’t mind that if I had to pick one of the two

In the late 70’s, early 80’s on the corner of Jefferson and Drusilla, there would be hippies selling roses.

At least they're trying to sell something and not just sitting there with a sign begging for money.

Use to be a guy that would post up the median of Crosstimbers selling Tide laundry detergent.


And that's exactly why the shite is all locked up in the stores because of motherfrickers like this that steal it.

There used to have a guy on Airline and Greenwell St sell bags of oranges. Atlanta got the water boys and it’s common in Latin America.

Entrepreneurialism in a free market. Shocking to many wage slaves but in a good portion of the world folks have some drive and initiative to better themselves with the tools they have in hand. Doing so with their kids in tow teaches the kid to do what they can to better themselves with the tools they have. Most white folks are so successful many look down their nose at people hustling to better their lot in life and far too many do so while simultaneously questioning why "those people" don't do better.


When I was in high school I could either go to work in a fast food joint or a grocery store or hustle. I worked in a butcher section of a grocery store for about 2 weeks cleaning it up after the butcher's left. It was nasty but a pretty good gig for a high school kid. I damn near got killed one night unplugging a meat grinder while standing in ankle deep water from washing the place down. I quit that job 2 nights later when the same thing happened except I wasn't touching that damned devil machine that time. I took a job as a janitor in a high rise complex and it was a fantastic gig for a high school kid.....and even then my friends were like "you're a janitor?" as if their gig at the pizza buffet was more honorable. Their tone changed when they found out I was making $8 an hour compared to their $3.15....the people I worked with were all adults working their second or more job....I was the only kid there. I learned more from those people than I have ever learned about working to better myself than anyone I ever knew. I also lumped trucks at the off ramp to a major industrial park in West Atlanta....when trucks caught the redlight we'd jump on the running board to see if they needed help unloading....hard damn work and most of the people doing it were only sober long enough to catch one truck a day but I could make $50 in a couple of hours and could, on a good day, catch 2-3 trucks. I am sure people looked down their nose at the kid on the side of the road begging for work while they drove to their cushy warehouse supervisor jobs but I know for a certainty I could make more money in 20 hours than they could in 40 and I took every penny while they were paying taxes, the dumb asses....they were too good to make any real money. I also did this at the state farmers market in Atlanta when it was still doing a lot of business....some of the people doing it there were grown arse men with families and they could make $1500 a week cash where any job they could get would pay about $500 before taxes....hustling is an admirable quality in a person....

I see them in the same parking lots in ATL where I see the fake violin players. I assume it is some kind of scam.

Apparently, she can't.

Also NOVA is one of the most educated regions in the US, but sure bud.
