  • Why isn’t the farm owner under arrest? They claim they don’t hire illegal immigrants. So is Ice arresting and reporting legal temporary workers, legal American citizens, or is this employer just flouting the law?

    if this whole thing were actually about stopping foreign illegal workers, it would be quite easy to just arrest the bosses of any company found to be using them. 1 year in jail and a $2000 for ever worker found to be without proper paperwork. Give the workers half the fine money and a bus ticket back with a warning and put them on a list. They probably deserve more for the abuse they had to tolerate so their American boss could make their money.

    Again, if the intention is as we are being told. It’s harsh but fair for everyone involved.



  • Where do you live? The reserve armed forces in Canada would fit that bill, depending on your feelings about that. A day a week and a weekend a month, I forget exactly but it’s consistent, paid, but it’s supposed to be easy enough to fit into a normal life schedule. They usually do disaster relief and stuff like that when they do get called, but theoretically you could be signing up for more given the state of the world.

    Boy scouts/girl Guides/youth groups are always looking for group leaders.

    Volunteer fire also gets close to that mark, it’s voluntary but if you don’t show up you get replaced.

    And volunteer becomes “mandatory” the deeper you get. If you can find a small soup kitchen or conservation group, and really hold yourself to it for a few months, you might find you become vital to that organization. Then I guess it’s up to your personal brain chemistry what “mandatory” means. If you have the keys, I’d assume you’d be there 30 minutes before the weekly soup prep afternoon is supposed to start to open up and meet that new person to show them around.

    Many of these groups are small and in desperate need of good help and sometimes even leadership. On that same note some are little fifedoms and if you aren’t getting good vibes just cut bait and move on.



  • Can’t wait for the article “Selfish asshole kills 8 year old rushing to hospital to pretend saying “goodbye” to a brain dead warm body counts for anything.”

    Reading comprehension is also low, it says the police escorted them to the hospital. So enjoy your psychotic fantasy of checks notes running red lights and driving on the curb to get to your already brain-dead son. We can all collectively hope you never have an excuse to be so reckless, and if you do, you are the only one who has to suffer for it.












  • Not reading article, don’t actually care. American Express can suck it. They put the average person through hell to get $10,000 credit. They should have been more responsible with this person. Unless they can show they did the usually consideration, gradually upping her credit over time with responsible limits, that’s just the risk of doing business.

    Ok I caved and read the article. Lady makes bank (or was faking). Why did she need a $600k+ limit? What is she putting on a credit card that would lead to that amount in such a short time? American Express wanted their cut, they got burned.
