saw this on another site and felt it should be passed on might even send it to my representative you may feel the same it was in a newspaper but the name was cut off. Privilege--- is wearing $200 sneakers when you don't have a job. Privilege---is wearing $300 beats headphones while living on public assistance. Privilege---is having a smartphone with a data plan for which you receive no bill. Privilege---is living in public subsidized housing where you don't have a water bill, where rising property taxes and rent and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on the table. Privilege--- is the ability to go march and protest against anything that triggers you without worrying about calling out of work and the consequences that accompany such behavior. Privilege---is having as many children as you want regardless of your employment status and send them to daycare or school you don't pay for

Really sucks don't it ?? But it's true
I worked hard all my life , And now
I collect a measly 850.00 a month
Social security , cost 200.00 for tv
550.00 lot rent 90.00 for water,
100.00 for electric 40.00 for gas ,
Then up keep of a car, insurance,on a car, 35.00 for phone, I have a room mate who only pays 300.00 per month and complaining that it's to much .
When all others I know pay nothing for bills at all and complain,that there life sucks
It's just wrong especially when
Gas is now $4.00 a gallon here in
Nevada, in California it's now $5.00 per gallon or more .
And people complain about everything ,and get it all for free !!
More people are on social security disability,that I know and there
Is nothing wrong with them .
They just don't want to work ,
It's a shame that our social security, is letting these people
Get on disability so eazy. Mostly
In 3or 4 months 👎

Who do you think created this scenario? Before you start hollering dems! or repubs!, bear in mind that they only allowed it to happen, it was in fact - Amazon, Walmart, Verizon, Disney.....................and all the other megacorps, that convinced people that they MUST have all this s**t.

I had a flip phone made by motorola under an alltel contract that cost me $7.50 a month, a phone I used for 17 years until it completely fell apart and I could no longer find parts for it. Now I have a refurbished Samsung that I bought for $9, with a Tracphone pay-as-you-go deal the costs me $23.59 a month. I h**e that stupid phone! It dings and dongs at all hours of the day and night, has to be tapped a dozen times to turn on, has to be tapped and held down to answer a &#$% call and a plethora of other irritations. With my old phone, open it and you're answering the call and it stays on until you close it. I miss my old phone.

Sorry for the rant there. I had to endure my own family making fun of me for over a decade, for not having a smarts phone, but I kept telling them that I'M smart and don't need all that useless s**t -- but the megacorps finally got me - a phone similar to what I used to have was way more expensive than a stupid smart phone, so I was forced to comply with the conditioning program and get one..................and I'm STILL pissed about it.

I had a wonderful phone with boost then when I got sick and dialed 911 the darn thing dropped the call not once but 3 times. The sheriffs and Ambulance found me in my car with car keys in hand in my pajamas passed out. EMT asked me where did you think you were going ( to the hospital I said). My blood pressure had gotten so high I took a lot of my blood pressure meds to get it down but it wasn't working by the time they got there it started to work when they hooked me up to do an EKG it had dropped to 210/118 by the time they left 20 mins later it was 175 /88, unfortunately, this has been an ongoing issue every time I go see the doc she looks up and when she sees me shes surprised and I tell her no I haven't died yet.My son put me on his service and got me a different newer phone which we have had to get different phone 2x's now they cost more but are crap

Yep, and to think, all phones now are either built in china or built using chinese parts, so should be top notch.
