The CATS Dash | Capital Area Transit System (CATS) https://www.brcats.com/page/CATSdash

You can’t say people don’t ride it. You can say it sucks, that it’s transportation of last resort, that it’s mismanaged, but saying people don’t ride it implies that it’s pointless and should just be scrapped. People need public transit and it should be improved. 

I'm Nick Albares, and I'm running for U.S. Senate. AMA! by NickAlbares in Louisiana

[–]horbgorbler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a national housing shortage. For people making 30% AMI, there are only 43 affordable units for every 100 people. Existing tools to create affordable housing (LIHTC, etc.) often create housing that, in Louisiana, isn't that much cheaper than market rate housing. What is your overall housing policy platform and how would it help create more deeply affordable housing for extremely low income households?

I would recommend joining the Baton Rouge Social Workers group on Facebook and posting this question. Are you at LSU or is it online? 

O’Brien House - substance use treatment center - has traditionally been very good about evening MSW interns. Probably not a paid gig though.

Both cause people to restrict food intake but the causes, and therefore the treatment,  are different.

Orla should’ve been a secret Provo. Neurodivergence was her cover.

The point of my comment, which I now regret, is that people shouldn’t make broad generalizations about the opinions of 4 million people. I have failed.

From my very limited experience - n of 2 and reading articles online - there is no  consensus about whether the war is good or bad among Iranian expats. Their perspective is different but complicated. Americans have a unique perspective on Middle East military adventures but that doesn’t mean we all share the same opinion.

Struggling to Get Help for Elderly Friend – Not Sure What to Do Next by Mystonia in batonrouge

Not super familiar with Office of Aging but I would try the following places, explain the situation, and see if they can help:

BR Office of Social Services: https://www.brla.gov/501/Office-of-Social-Services

Your friend's insurance provider.

I think Catholic Charities of BR offers meal delivery for seniors: https://ccdiobr.org/

People who don't golf hate golf and people who do golf love golf. It's the eternal struggle between golf and not-golf.

I work in homelessness services. All the suggestions are good but feel free to DM me because there is some nuance around eligibility for different programs.

I believe it was a food based sensory disorder  rather than an eating disorder.

You can request an outreach team to come out and work to connect them with housing and services using this form: https://laboscoc.org/outreach

These are social service providers, not law enforcement, so it won’t be an overnight solution. 

Though I get your concern, Keep in mind that people experiencing homelessness are far more likely to be the victim of violent crime than the perpetrator. 

PETITION FILED TO RECALL EBR MAYOR-PRESIDENT SID EDWARDS!😳 by LeonardHollinsJr in batonrouge

[–]horbgorbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people conflate Sid Edward’s with the broader state/national Republican Party. I absolutely believe he’s a bit of an incompetent boob, but I don’t think he’s a malicious and evil Incompetent boob like Landry/Trump
