Yep. On a good month.

Wanna trade places? Sit down and teach me something? I'm tired of being valueless.

I can't trade as old and retired. Sounds like you got skills your local county or city public works dept would love. After you work your way up you'll easily make about 80K per year plus benefits. Will have a defined benefit plan retirement. You will feel good being a civil servant improving the quality of life for your community. If you are under 40 you'll get in eventually if keep applying.

You can get in over 40 as well as cannot discriminate but just easier to beat out competition. Will need a clean background.

Dont gave a clean background.

I have a federal arson charge from when I was 17.

🤷

Have you looked into getting that expunged? Especially from such a young age and under 18.

Yeah. No luck.

Only foind out that Federal convictions can't be expunged, sealed, etc etc

Bummer, I would apply anyway and look for attorney seeking recourse if they are discriminating. You may be able to get through and hired anyway and can explain the mistake. Public Works can be very forgiving, especially at the larger counties like Los Angeles County. For skilled labor type jobs it's not uncommon for someone to have made a serious mistake when young so can still get hired. If you haven't tried I would for sure and be willing to relocate if necessary. Sometimes there are special programs to help in your situation as well. Your skills you mentioned are great for Public Works. Clean driving record will help along with good working track record. Pay an expert to do a killer resume for you if don't want to do yourself.

have you ever heard of or read the book "No One Cares"? ***

most americans have never heard of this book or the wisdom it contains, and, consequently they waste 90% of their lives looking, waiting, for help... from all the people their mom told them "were doing their best", "essentially good" , etc...

but it isnt coming, because NO ONE CARES. people are not "kind". they are selfish. you and me included.

learn it. grit up. gird loins. ask God for help not stupid man. and then one foot in front of the other.

only you know what you need to do.

**** book does not exist

I gave good advise and do care, speak for yourself.

yeah you care insofar as you are capable and comfortable enough to do so.

or until you decide that you have "helped" enough and male a discernment regarding whatever the object of your help is. that may, in fact, lead to you wanting to help more but honestly we are discussing the more common latter option wherein people eventually say "get your shit together i have my own problems."

in that sense your precious "helping" and "caring" is entirely relative and not to be depended upon.

underneath is just another fallen nature.

my comments were an attempt to turn his attention ineard and toward God for solutions... my bad bruh - didnt realize there was a Saint in the thread!

there are more ways than one to help someone ...

not everyone has to follow the rules you learned about in kindergarten in 1965.

got it!?

Bruh, we all know what you meant.

ok shut the fuck up then

Likewise

you:

Just can't hey

if you were so well-intentioned you would not have taken what i said to the op personally, thereby diverting the thread into this close-up examination of your own asshole... which you are apparently in denial of.
