About ten years ago I was talking with person who was high up in management in a shipyard in south LA. Told me a story about Hispanic foreman that had worked for him for 10 years. His best employee. He sent him in a company truck to run an errand. Truck gets hit by another person and flips and employee dies.
When the police finally came to the office, their first statement wasn't "We are so sorry" or "We are sad to inform you..." It was, "who is this person and what was his name?"
Turns out dude had like 10 ids on him, all with ITINS, all with different names. Jose, Carlos, Miguel, Alejandro, etc.... Guy was floored. He said, I don't know, we knew him as "whatever", which was one of the ids.
The policy could never actually ID the guy. They never knew which one was his real name. No family ever came forward. Company wanted to send benefits to the family....never found out who they really were. Guy ended up being buried in a pauper's grave and the manager told me he never found out who he really was.
That was 10 years ago.
Times that by 100....... That's where we are in this country.

I appreciate it man. The attacks do suck. It's very hard to have an honest debate or even just ask questions that maybe the answer to them is not clear-cut.
I opened up a little about my personal life and that was a mistake because everyone just attacked me.
Sometimes I wonder why I try and even talk to anyone on here, it's very frustrating. I can never tell if people are serious on here or if they are just trolling.
Sometimes people will say something very shocking and I don't know if they truly mean it or if they are just saying it to like get upvote. I know it's a football forum but it seems very unserious so that's unfortunate.
There has been a couple really nice responses though two of the best ones were from LSU fans. I appreciate that. I was even going to message some of you but it doesn't appear that you can directly message. Anyway thanks again.

OK ChatGPT.

Yeah I looked stuff up by speaking into my phone and I was surprised by what the AI was saying. It pulled the information from somewhere and I looked at the sources. What is wrong with that?
It was very interesting which led me to dig deeper.

You’ve visited an ER at least once in your life. If you need to find an affordable housekeeper, go to any ER any Friday or Saturday night.

That’s a lot of thoughts and research.
Anyway, they have to go, all of them.
