Anywhere that Trump flags or confederate flags outnumber American flags.

Thank goodness - I was really worried about those guys with their razor thin profit margins. /s

Nah. We're going to suffer for all the businesses and people that got loans and money by means of fraud. Standard stuff for us middle classers lol I love money but like a creepy man with bad intentions our government makes me uncomfortable...I don't even want their money or mine back

This sounds like my kinda place

It sounds like you’re just saying the only way to do things when poor is be homeless or begging for work… am I a dick for saying this… but like you can understand how that’s not super appealing to everyone

We moved to Lebanon County from the Seattle area, it’s very bright here in the winter!

I am sad for the daughter- the parents are certainly to blame for this situation.

At least they didn't kill the dog.

theyd blame it as a mental disease and other comments and saying this is what liberal ideas lead too....

It has nothing to do with their policies.

I'm not sure how? All tucker could say would be "look what our policies did", and them types aren't exactly known for introspection.

I did. Went in on an apartment with 5 friends that I made in my travels and found a job when I got there.

Multiple moves across the US with no job or house lined up. Was homeless in Denver for a week because they wouldn't sign the lease for the apartment until I had a job offer.

I lived in Lidia's parking lot in Pittsburgh in 2014 while I worked there. They had no idea. Made friends, found a room.. well an unfinished basement, but it was warm.

We're capable of so much more than you give us credit for.

Yes you should wash it off occasionally. I will usually do it when the temps are above freezing and it is going to be dry for a few days. It is especially important to spray out the wheel wells.

It's a little rude considering the circumstances. The daughter could have definitely gotten help if the parents weren't such wackos.

The really sad thing, if it was a liberal family with a trans kid in the same situation, do you think fox news and Tucker Carlson would be using it as ammunition?

Yeah I agree I probably would. I was just speaking on the issue being systemic and if you are struggling there are very real forces keeping you down. I’m not one to accept this condition but it is very real. That’s just what I’m speaking on. I’m all for people living their best life, but $2k is way better $0.

Exactly. WFH would need primo internet service. If looking for employment, 40-50 minutes from a city would benefit OP. Someone mentioned Norristown area, while not the greatest area, it is closer to Philly. So, depends on job situation.

Yeah that’s gonna be hard. I’m in the coal region I bought one for 6k a few months ago. I went to HS with the guy he has a good reputation around here for being a straight shooter some of these places are just out to scam people.

Yeah I have family telling me to move more west since I live in one of the most expensive areas in pa and I don’t know how many ways to phrase it that there is nothing there. Even though I pay a lot to live here I can commute without a car so that helps me save up. It’s all about weighing what you value. It’s a bad time for a lot of people. The fact that you’re thinking about it is great.

They need to leave!

This has nothing to do with resumes or ego. It's a dead. end. town.

There's one outcome: a dead end.

Throw it the fuck away and move on.

I literally offered advice on how to get out. Work for a ski resort in the winter. Work for Nemacolin in the summer. They will house you and pay you well. If you like the place and want to move up the ladder, by all means go for it.

The least valuable advice is "stay put sweetie, the grass is always greener".

You know it, I know it.

Pack up, ship out, throw yourself out there, create opportunity. You could have $0 to your name and a well-traveled spirit and be in a better mindset than sticking it out in a dead end town waiting for a $2000 check from the President.

You have to be careful with looking for places like this. An area may be cheap, but do you really want to live there?

Like what do you want me to say ‘good for you’ whenever people voice something about how they are struggling there is always that guy that’s like ‘my life is great because I hustled, I wouldn’t get it…’ what does it serve but your own ego. I’m assuming you mean well but its tone deaf in this context. Some people just want to talk without breaking down their resume sometimes ya know
