@ 10:34a.m./PT - The first rant today was just an example regarding food. Want another stupid example? A friend has become nearly homeless (birds of a feather, ya know), and is still struggling just to pay bills—never mind maintaining any type of credit score—he long ago, gave that up.
He’s over 60, worked in an industry devastated by the recession (I maintain it’s a depression) until he lost his business and his home. This upstanding, law-abiding, hardworking man now has only Social Security to support him—applied for early not because he wanted to, but because he had to—certainly not enough, as we all know.
His vehicle registration is four months overdue—his poor ol’ gas-guzzler won’t pass emissions, it’ll cost a thousand dollars or so for repairs that might make it pass, and he’s being hounded by the motor vehicles department.
The shoc
ker, however, is the threatening notice he received from the state-run facility. Do you know that “Law enforcement may seize and impound vehicles found on highways, public lands or offstreet [sic] parking facilities, with expiration dates in excess of six months”?*
