It smells like it, but the WV legislature has a tendency to pick WVU as its favorite. I'm not sure that this is exactly balancing the score, but it came as a surprise for me at least.
I think he's talking about people that have deliberately gotten themselves so fat that they get a disability check from the government for it. I definitely have a problem with where he's placing the blame, but he's talking about what he sees around him.
I'm from an area similar to him, and the number of people trying to line themselves up for government assistance as their career is substantial. I think it speaks to the hopelessness of the area we live in these days, on top of generational poverty. Things have always been bad around here, but they got a lot worse after mining, and its supporting industries fell apart.
City of Heroes: Homecoming. It's CoH/CoV on a private server. It has easy access to a double XP buff at the cost of no influence earned passively (enhancement/salvage still drops tho). It's been a great time. My nostalgia is loving it.
I am wondering what kind of career moves I have available to me because I am over the bullshit of desktop support.

Would it benefit me to go back to school to learn a skill to help...
I'm currently a software dev in the US, and I've always got a few things in the back of my mind: USPS, UPS, tradesman (electrician, carpentry, plumbing). Also not sure what your family situation is like, but if it's just you, I've always found the idea of owning my own tiny home exciting, and it could potentially reduce your financial burdens opening up more options for work because you won't need as much money.
I really wouldn't mind seeing this with commercial/residential mixes. Stores on first floor, apartments above sounds cool. Maybe even have childcare thrown in there somewhere as well. Like mega blocks from Judge Dredd, but.... nicer.
Thank you for asking this. I was confused, and honestly, too afraid to ask. This whole thread cleared up that mess. Not saying I want to Karma farm, and I'd be perfectly happy without a reputation system, but it feels bad to be in the negatives when it does exist.
