Have they considered leaving their 3rd world city and find some place that has jobs?

Srsly.

>>1324402
Because someone who is under/unemployed can obviously afford to move city and will magically find a job far more quickly elsewhere than where she is currently. Obviously.

>>1324402
Washington, DC and all other cities in the US have areas the resemble third world countries. Even if they moved to a another city in the US, it will not solve the problems of criminal records, education, poor transportation, and a lack of reliable child care.

>>1324441
The region already had issues and now their fishing is dying a horrible oil stained death. heir tourism may be affected as well if it smell like an oil pit for the next decade.

And there's more hurricanes every year.

Protip: find out where where unemployment is lowest and go there. leave the kids with grandma.

Anyone of them realized that their actions in the past now have consequences?

>>1324478
You might be in the wrong thread. You're talking about the Southern States.

>>1324542
Oh shit you're right.

Why do black people always live in wards?

Atlanta, New Orleans, D.C.

WTF

Is that where white people banished them in the 20th?

Why do all these people insist on living in our nations capital? It wasn't created for the purpose of being an urban metropolis (or in this case, a decaying cesspool) but to be basically a large open workplace for the Federal government and its employees.

>>Washington, DC and all other cities in the US have areas the resemble third world countries.
HAHAHAHA, NO.

Even the poorest parts of any city in the US still have.
1. Access to clean drinking water
2. A transportation infrastructure
3. Stable local government
4. Fairly low rate of preventable disease
5. Emergency services

Do any of the people pictured look emaciated? Do they rely of subsistence farming for their daily needs?
No. You are using terms you don't understand.

>Often they're hobbled by poor transportation, lack of reliable day care, brushes with the law, substance abuse and isolation from the world of internships and job referrals

Don't do drugs, don't do crimes, stop spewing niglets. Problem solved.

>>Companies are beginning to hire, but Walker, who at 46 is struggling to find a full-time job, hasn't noticed. April found her driving 28 miles round trip from Southeast Washington to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where a temp agency had sent her for a kitchen job, pay $11.88 an hour. She was working about 24 hours a week but needed more.

BAWWWWWWWW, I CAN GET WORK BUT IT DOESN'T PAY ME AS MUCH AS I WANTED. I ALSO REFUSE TO GET A RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT JOB THAT PAYS MINIMUM WAGE, SO INSTEAD I DO PART-TIME AND END UP WITH LESS INCOME AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

Fucking whiner.

America- The only country where the "poor" drive their own cars to protest rallies.

$11.88 is a fuckload more than I make at my temp job. STFU lady.

South Central LA would like a word with you.

>1. Access to clean drinking water

I agree in all of these, including number #2 with reservations. They have a great transportation infrastructure, if you own a car. If you use public transport, the infrastructure can vary from city to city.

>>1324606
You got to understand the things you mentioned are the result of poverty. They do drugs to cope with the poverty they have, they do crime because they the job they have may pay no different or less than their welfare check. As for the babies...I'll let you have that argument.

>>1324616
Living expensives ain't easy. Especially for housing.

My friend works full time for $7.50.
My dad has worked at a company for over 25 years and only makes $14.00 an hour and has had to raise 4 kids.

Stop paying for things like cable TV, stupid bitch.

whats the living wage in those areas?

>>1324380
>substance abuse

my sympathy goes out the window

How do liberals honestly have sympathy for these people? They bring their own ruin upon themselves, and then bitch about it.

i live in DC, the place is a shithole because the dumb niggers there keep electing crooks and drug addicts to be their DC Council representatives

they should burn all of DC to the ground except the monuments, nothing of value would be lost whatsoever

>$11.88 an hour about 24 hours a week
>needed more

>>1324823
That's like $250 a week after taxes, probably less. You try living on that.

>>1324836

Bullshit. I make 8.50 an hour and work 25-30 hours a week and I make that much. They're making like 300. I live fine off 240~ a week, because I'm not fucking stupid.

Learn to live within your means you dumb niggers.

>>1324850

Wtf, are you renting a room or living in your sister's garage apartment?

it comes back to no jobs. over qualified people taking jobs crap jobs leaving everyone else with slim pickings.

sad story non the less op. thanks for some real news.

>>1324850
>I live at home.

Fix'd that for you son.

>>1324850
>I live in a dorm that mom and dad pay for.
>lol I'm a student! I only need beer money, bro.

>>1324836

That's $13,000 ($250 a week X 52 weeks) a year, add a second job, a spouse with a job, or part time self-employment and you can easily get that up to "livable."

My sister worked 3 part time jobs at the same time, as a single mother, while putting herself though nursing school. She didn't bitch about "being poor" and how nothing was provided to help her. She just worked her ass off, got where she wanted, and bettered her life.

How much do you guys think a studio apartment costs?

My rent is 450 a month, and I don't use that much electricity and water is included. I don't have cable, but I have high speed internet.

Yeah I go to college, which I pay for with scholarships and shit.

If I didn't go to school I could work full time, and get another job part time. I could easily make 400~ a week.

Sorry that I have enough drive and intelligence to work and not blow all my money.

>>1324864

Its been like this for years. While I think its kind of retarded we're being used as political fodder now , at least we're getting some attention, lol.

You don't know jack shit about the real world.

>>1324902

What about yer car insurance guy?
Monthly gas expenses?
Utilities?
Food budget?

I bet you aren't able to save shit huh? Enjoy your ramen noodles and cheap hot dogs.

>>1324802
get out of here STALKER

>>1324913

>$4 a meal

and we don't know bout the real world

>>1324913
>eating $4 a meal

Ah and the Obese-American ethnic group chimes in...

>>1324913

Average rent were I live is 130 a week according to that site. If you learn to shop at places like Dollar General or places like that, you can get food for cheap.

ITT: People that don't know how to shop smart

>>1324936

Its not that we can't shop smart. Its just that you can only live off ramen for so long. Shit gets old quick.

>>1324919

I have a car, but I paid it off when I was in high school. My insurance is 30 a month because it has the lowest coverage and I never drive it.

I bike to work and school

I already said I don't use that much electricity (pretty much my PC and fans) and water is included

Sure I don't eat amazingly, but I get by.

People need to stop telling me to live in the real world, and get out of there parents houses. This is what people do everyday to get by.

>>1324936
I'm sure you wouldn't be bitter at all if you had to live like that for the rest of your life.

>>1324960

spoiler: food is cheap if you don't shop like a moron, and no i don't just mean raman, i mean going and buying some goddamn veggies from the grocery store, not your retarded overpriced local coop

>>1324964

Well that's why I'm going to school. So I can make something of myself.

But like I said, I could totally work 2 jobs and have my live improve.

with a budget that tight, 1 accident or 1 medical bill,shit even a single robbery and you'll never recover.

get sick and miss a few days of work? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

go to college and get a loan in something not worse than worthless and you wont be poor, inb4 "BAWW HOW I GET LOANZ"

>>1324864

Guilty as charged.

There are not many positions open within my work experience or skillset. The ones that were available have not called back in months. Everything else is an internship (i.e. free workers) or too far for me to bother working. At this point, I can't afford to not get paid.

I ended up getting a stock boy position that pays approximately $8.50 an hour. Whole body hurts at the end of the day, but I don't give a shit as long as I have a job.

I'm saving up for my last year of grad school and I'm staying at my folks at the moment. They don't care about me staying as long as I'm keeping myself on track with school or work, though I guess I'm one of the lucky ones that have parents that actually care about them.

>>1324997

Exactly.

However, there is a light at the end of our tunnel. Get into construction or a trade. Most of them you don't even have to go to trade school. Find a company willing to work with you, work your ass off, and you'll be raking in anywhere from $14-$18/hr in two years. I trust your broke asses will have had enough practice "living within your means" by then to make a wage like that seem Godly.

loving the debate about this kid and his austere life style. But somethig tells me he wouldnt be anywhere with out a large cash infusion from Daddy to start things off. His budget doesn't account for any he already owns. So unless he steals all his shit, he just full of shit. And has no idea what its like to come into this world poor.

>>1325011
Disregard the internet, I forgot it's $10, not $40, a week

Still amounts to $226.10 a week, when you bring in $240 a week. What the fuck are you eating at $10.50 a week? Just rice all the damn time?

>>1324960
>Its not that we can't shop smart. Its just that you can only live off ramen for so long. Shit gets old quick.

I can put together a steak dinner for one, say sirlon or new york strip, grilled with onions and garlic, with baked potato and all the fixin's, large roll with butter on the side, and *maybe* be a little over $3.

>>1325111
maybe if you own a cow and slaughter it yourself and cook it yourself and have an onion/garlic farm and handmake butter and make bread on your own

onions by itself cost like 3/ea

ITT: fags who dont know whats its like to work your way up from the gutter. and have no idea what its like to be truly poor.
