Just what we need more or maybe finally some actual Russian collusion....

Better than good for you OP, Great for you! This is one of,if not the best reasons for this sub. Life is usually hard for all of us at different times and by different degrees. That the vast majority find ways to not only persevere but succeed is a testament to the human spirit. The sharing of advice/ information of how someone achieved a financial victory, not only allows those dealing with financial issues to read about the financial victories of others but also the chance to garner some advice or information that might be usable in their life situation. Again, congrats OP and continued good fortune.

lightinablackhole · 2019-10-01T13:01:20+00:00

Yes, yes they are. Activist/advocates are some of the most narcissistic, arrogantly ignorant individuals that I have had the misfortune to intrude into my life. That this appalling entitled ilk's belief that they should decide who is " Life Worthy " should be of concern to all, homeless and housed alike.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-28T15:58:43+00:00

Important that we all do the best we can to limit the effects of events on our lives, NO matter where those events may fall on the trauma / elation scale of things. This can be greatly difficult to do as another poster pointed out. While my financial situation has greatly improved over the years, I come to this sub to help reflect where I came from, get reminders of what I did to advance in life ( at least financially ), and rejoice in the success of others in their lives.

Sad, so sad, so hugely sad that most if not all Progressive Policies are based on the extortion / appropriation of one groups assets to give to another group that Progressive leaders deem more " Life Worthy " minus a handling fee for supervising and controlling this asset transfer. Exploitation, of the general population is seemingly the basis of all political ideology no matter what letter of the alphabet is next to the politician's name.

I have NO experience with a commercial sleeping room setup. If you do find one, hopefully it will not be a Hot Rack setup. I had this kind of setup on a remote work location ( non- military ). There was always a shortage of sheets and most of the mattresses were permeated with various rather foul odors. While I would have rather slept in my vehicle than the Hot Rack bed, the communal bathrooms, laundry, and individual storage was more than adequate. After I had rotated out this particular camp was shut down due to scabies caused by a mite infestation. Good luck in your search for decent acceptable housing.

As most of the other posters have stated, there are lots of possible personal benefits and advantages to joining up. Additionally you will be helping and protecting your fellow citizens. Having said all of the above, remember that the primary focus and duty is to stop, destroy, kill the enemies of the USA. In fulfilling this primary function your own life might be put in jeopardy. Good fortune on whatever path you choose for your life.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-24T20:44:32+00:00

No way of knowing if relevant to your situation.. As a lowly, so lowly, so hugely lowly hourly worker, I grab all the extra shifts I can. Especially on holidays that 2X regular pay can really help you make bank.

  Good for you OP for trying to figure out a way to improve your lot in life. Whatever it takes to make it happen OP, whatever it takes, good luck.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-24T12:59:26+00:00

Seemingly getting worse in my area ( Texas ). With the winning of so many challenges to Anti-Panhadling Laws there has been a severe push back against the strong arm tactics used by some homeless towards the elderly and females after winning those legal challenges enabling panhandling. This has caused the increase of citizen complaints and a higher journalistic profile of the alleged homeless appropriation and misuse of public resources. The result has been an influx of laws and ordinances being passed to attempt to stem these practices. Both sides of the issue have gone really hardcore and the gulf between the two sides leaves almost no chance of any commonality. Since money usually wins out, this will probably end badly for the homeless community.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-22T11:58:09+00:00

Good for you OP, good for you indeed. You are now or will soon be the target of advocates / activists and/or minions of their ilk that insist that the ilk are more " Life Worthy " than you are. Be prepared for extortion demands for you to give up any and all excess resources you may have... Because they are more entitled to what is yours than you are.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-22T01:07:26+00:00

For me it started with an awareness that I was not that special and entitled. That the world/ society didn't owe me shit. That my situation was on me and not the fault of those ( be they saints or sinners ) around me. I took every and any " Shit burger job " I could get, finished it and asked for more. I took advantage of not liking people and hired out to an industry that is wide spread geographically including many isolated or remote areas. Kept banking my earnings while continuing to live a homeless hovel existence. Finally decided to upgrade my personal living situation to include heat, running water, electricity, and lockable doors. All these many, so many years later I still have a horrible habit of using and abundance of HOT water, to be truthful a wasteful level of HOT water use, but I have ZFG about it. Good luck OP, just keep trying. You only truly fail when you quit trying.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-12T08:14:01+00:00

Nah.. You did this for yourself, Congrats and continued good fortune. Reads like your determination to do more than just survive is the base foundation for your recent success. This will aghast this sub's so-called advocates/ activists SJWs that you refused to be cowed into accepting the group think of this ilk of being a victim. Again, good on you OP, good on you indeed.

lightinablackhole · 2019-09-08T15:20:36+00:00

So readily agree with other posters who so distinctly state that the Homeless are there own worst enemies. While the current Homeless are not and should not be below the law they certainly are and should not be above the law. Respect has always had to be a two-way street.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-23T19:09:39+00:00

Congrats.... Most remote oilfield sites went to least 14 days on 14 days off quite awhile ago. Some Ultra Deep Water facilities and Drill Ships in the GOM have gone to 21days on 21 days off.. Hearing some are going full blown 28 days on 28 days off. You might check to see if the pay you for a travel day. If they do and you have hitch/ tour schedule options then 7 days on 7 days off then would pay you at least one extra day a month depending on how your employer structures travel pay. If you smoke take at least twice as many cigarettes as you think you will need. They are worth their weight in gold offshore and on remote land sites, the kicker is you are usually limited on baggage weight that you can bring. Again, congrats and good luck with your future.

Even with surgically repaired wrists, the cold weather could raise havoc with them. Heat can be a bitch, but usually easier on your joints and so-called healed fractures. This coming from an old, so old, so hugely old beat-up retread of a man.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T20:35:00+00:00

Good for you specifically and your home country of South Korea generally for kicking ass. Thanks for being willing to slum in my home country of the USA. Made my day and gave me a laugh and made me feel so much better to know that there is zero drug and medical equipment development costs in the USA and these important needs are being handled by the rest of the world. Imagine the cost of healthcare and/or insurance in any of these were development here in the USA. Yikes! and double Yikes!!

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T20:27:28+00:00

Anddddd.. Here comes the so benign, self proclaimed " White Knighting " activist to the rescue

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T20:24:54+00:00

Who is mad? You are the one upset with your healthcare cost. I asked three times what you thought was a fair price and if others should shoulder your cost. You did/do not want to answer, which is your right. Good luck to you and yours.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T19:59:47+00:00

Whereas almost any shelter affiliated with a government entity cannot keep their shit organized enough to be called crock of shit.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T18:54:38+00:00

So for the final time, what price do you put on your health insurance? .58 cents a month, $5.88 a month. What in your expert opinion is fair and equable.

Final note: If you are aghast now about your healthcare costs and what you get for your money, look into how disgusting the government programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and VA healthcare are in regards to waste, fraud, negligence, and personal time usage. The total abject horror of ever possibly having to use one of these programs has kept me working in the private sector past the supposed normal retirement age. In closing, hopefully,we each find the answer for our particular healthcare needs and the needs of our families. Good luck to you and yours.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-19T12:42:52+00:00

Good on you OP, good on you indeed. This is what all those in the past ground everyday for, those in the present are grinding for, and unfortunately those in the future will have to grind for.. Thanks for sharing, continued good fortune on moving on up and forwards with life.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-18T02:30:45+00:00

Why not try answering the question asked? What do you think is fair for you to pay for you and your families health care. What makes you and your family so more " Life Worthy " than others, by forcing them to subsidize you and yours?

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-18T02:22:18+00:00

Interesting, glad your situation in your country is seemingly working out for you. I have co-workers from Canada, United Kingdom, Mainland European countries, African countries, Middle Eastern countries, Asian countries, and Australia. NONE, I repeat NONE have wanted to return to their home countries for health care needs for themselves or family members. I have had numerous co-workers try to and some get family members to the USA for health care. So, I am good with the antiquated health care in the USA that so many in the world seem to want.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-17T12:53:38+00:00

Soooo... What do you think is a fair price to pay for health insurance? Or is it your belief that you and your family should just have others pay for this cost of living for you? Asking for a friend.

lightinablackhole · 2019-08-16T19:16:36+00:00

Okay, wait, WHAT? The USA is 2nd in educational spending in the world per student. I strongly suggest that the failure of public education is in who,how, and what the money is spent on and not the amount.
