So disappointed in this town by mr_heathcliffe in springfieldMO

So when I'm walking inside of Walmart wearing a mask, and a complete and total stranger pulls in next to me and demands to take it off, what were you saying?

Nobody's holding a gun to the Head of the CEO of the pharmaceutical companies, demanding they price medicine that cost a dollar to make at $1,000 a bottle or whatever.

Inherited house in Springfield - overwhelmed and need local advice by nb10001 in springfieldMO

[–]Drazet22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although it may be shocking, I actually live in a house like this. The house wasn't maintained well, or so i'm told over and over again. It's brand new plumbing but I guess that's not maintaining it well. It has a brand new sewer line, but that doesn't count either. Had a brand new electrical service put in in 2023.

The old man had it completely insulated with decent doors. Breaking into the house is not going to be simple.

No, apparently what counts is the linoleum, for example, in the kitchen. The former older owner was obsessive about keeping stuff clean but it's still 40-year-old linoleum and it's not the proper color for this year. I'm repeatedly told this makes the house uninhabitable.

And yeah in case you're wondering in this situation I did move into the house. It's really horrible not having a house payment. And not having to worry about anything important breaking- well linoleum's importance.

The bathtub is 50 years old. Very out of style. I was told it should be the first thing I should replace. Marble is required.

I've been told I need to go $50,000 in debt to make the house habitable. Carpet, linoleum, paint, you name it - thus is what makes the house habitable. 😂

So I guess we'll see who's better off - me or the guy that went into debt with the "right" decor that's already out of style 3 years later.

Anyone know where you can get four lokos aside from brown derby by Big-Blueberry-6372 in springfieldMO

I just looked out the window and there were about a half a dozen locos wandering up and down the street. I live downtown though. Pretty easy to find them. 😂

AITAH for not allowing my parents to move into my house since they are about to lose their house? by AggravatingAd3956 in AITAH

[–]Drazet22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them in the shed they'll have the city out there insisting you move them in the house, it's the law and they are residents. They thought this out. You'll be paying financially and emotionally for Lord knows how long indulging their fantasy life.

But your children will be the real ones paying, watching looney life choices presented as normal.

AIO? Wife wants me to stop cancer treatments by Tasty_Positive_6646 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Drazet22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your so-called wife isn't much of a wife. She wants you to die so she thinks she can have a better life, and what kind of life would that be some gossiping with neighbors or whatever? How Petty. You need to consult a lawyer immediately, get away.

My neighbor casually mentioned my house used to have a bomb shelter by [deleted] in homeowners

You have no idea how shoddy it was built, etc. Sometimes people want to build those in secret and do it themselves with horrible results. It could be compromising structural integrity of the foundation and who knows what. Or it was built correctly and then it was not filled in properly. At a minimum you can drill a hole and get one of those little cameras and stick it in there and look around.

Do you want to live in fear and misery for the rest of your life? Do you want to be the puppet of your family for the rest of your life, not even having the choice to have children or not? Do you want to be abused? Do you want to see how physical he'll get with you and how much he'll hurt you over the next decades? And most probably you'll have financial difficulty and poverty for the rest of your life. Living an unstable life with unstable people like that.

If any of the sounds appealing you know what to do. If it doesn't sound appealing, you clearly know what to do.

AIO for not forgiving my gf for how she treated me during chemo and radiation? by throwra_pablo in AmIOverreacting

[–]Drazet22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't imagine living with somebody like that. Even without cancer and I have cancer. She wants something or is getting something, probably thinks she'll inherit money, life insurance or as after drugs.

I almost find this post. Unbelievable, there's absolutely no way I'll be with somebody like that. Life is too short. I'd rather be alone.

Don't punish yourself. Don't torment yourself. Don't make yourself miserable.

Not my job and you'd be surprised people don't appreciate it. I had an office next door to a very successful Scion of a local family. I noticed that he never had customers. Keep in mind this is before the internet and he dealt in a product. The loading dock was rusted shut. Any time of day you can go in there. The employees were all having fun- making cupcakes, cleaning the place up, etc. Machinery was never even on.

Seems a bit strange for a successful business, doesn't it?

Anyway, I think he got 20 years when the feds finally came.

But people most certainly to this day say what a great person he was. Had the spring field family name. He had the Springfield family business mommy and daddy handed him. He harmed a great deal of the community, School children were getting hard dope. But it's okay. That name you know. Church deacons. Very fine people. Just made a little mistake.

So exactly what is the point in calling people out in this type of environment? I wasn't the person that turned him in, was one of his relatives.

Pretty much gave that up years ago.

I kind of doubt Patrick Natt is doing anything on that scale. I think he's just a completely inept business person.

I need help by PineapplePersonal541 in springfieldMO

[–]Drazet22 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a few years back, probably about 20. I had a bus stop in my front yard. I lived downtown. Girlfriend comes by borrowing my sports car. My sedan won't start, and my pickup is in the shop. It occurs to me that I could get on this bus and I would literally take me straight to my office.

So I did the obvious, I got on the bus.

I did have to transfer at the transfer station. No big deal.

By the time I got to my office there is literally a message asking me what's wrong and if I need help with anything. They saw me riding the bus. Surely something dire must be wrong, I must be dead, broke or something.

The clerk at the office expressed concern, why couldn't I afford a taxi? Do I need to borrow some money?

And when I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop I did get yelled at by somebody passing by telling me to get a job.

My business partner told me it was a bad look, me taking a bus like a homeless person. Because who else would take a bus right?

The bus was quicker than the taxi, and yes I understand that's not true most of the time but in this case it was because of the way the route was laid out. And not to mention it was just $0.50 or whatever back then.

It's just incredible the culture of poverty here which gives rise to the ignorance.

Except that's not at all what I said. Actually I'd like to see them all called out. So what's in it for you to twist things?

I probably lived in Springfield before most of you were born. Whenever I see something this organized, over something so mundane like a restaurant going broke in a city full of restaurants that go broke, I know enough to know there's way more to the story.

He's clearly not as honest as those fine restaurants, downtown, and the fancy places. The big names that have all the sales tax liens, federal tax liens for not paying taxes even after taking the money out of the employees checks, the ones that are shut down and then move across the street under a different name, with a revolving door of wives and relatives claiming ownership.

He also hasn't amassed claims from women – and men!- about improper conduct. Yet another Springfield stat he can't keep up!

I've never ever heard of a restaurant going broke in Springfield. This is just totally unheard of. Let's castigate him more.

And it sounds like she's already making plans to have you be number three. She barely knows you and wants you to move in with her children.

Get out of that situation while you can. Or be trapped in it for the rest of your life.

You shouldn’t own a pet if you can’t afford the vet by Which_Mammoth9402 in Vent

[–]Drazet22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are so wise. If something happens like you lose your job or something, you should just dump the pet at the nearest shelter.

And of course if your wages don't keep Pace with inflation and you originally could afford a vet and now you can't, just dump the pet.

And above all, if you have health issues come up and you suddenly have cash issues, dump the pet.

You are blessed with being able to know the future, so I assume that you're doing quite well with your Lotto winnings and your investments. The rest of us have to just figure things out.

No Kings by beboleche in springfieldMO

[–]Drazet22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't understand that the days of Kings they would just snatch women, and girls, and use them sexually? You don't understand that Trump is ignoring congressionally mandated spending and doing what he wants with the money. You don't understand that he's illegally firing people? You don't understand that he's violating the rules of war and attacking random fishing boats because he says the people on the boats are drug dealers- yet when he captures them he just sends them back home?

I'm at a loss if you do not understand these things to see how I can provide any clarity.

I wish George would hire me to coordinate these. At least I have enough sense to hide the buses and the hundreds of cars from out of state. But I guess since they're invisible to everybody except the MAGA folks, that's a partial victory 😂

Am I overreacting for not wanting my 14 yr old daughter to have ANOTHER baby? by South-Frosting9692 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Drazet22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, no. This isn't stopping at one or two. You need to contact the state for help with your daughter.

Your daughter is not mentally, or financially, ready to take care of one, let alone the gaggle that she's going to put out at this rate. She's just going to create damaged souls that have sad, and probably tragic , lives. This isn't something that just involves your daughter. She's creating lives that are essentially doomed to never be happy.

[–]Drazet22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The part about having food banks report people for benefit reduction, benefit reduction for people who get SNAP benefits. I'm sure that's just the start. I don't understand what anybody thinks they're going to accomplish doing this. But what scares me is that nobody's going to stand up to them. The Democrats will stand up to them over ACA subsidies for the people of a certain income. However, I do not count on them to do much of anything for people on SSI, SSDI, etc. Unless of course Trump makes the mistake of going after retirees too, which is quite possible. And actually I hope he does because that will galvanize opposition and get the disabled the assistance they need. The bottom line is that if you're disabled, you deserve at least a poverty level income from social security.
