How about this, I had to quit the job i was working on to go back to college, so i was told i could get some county assistance because of the lesser money i would be bringing home and i found this out.

If you are a full-time college student you have to work atleast 20 hrs a week to get help from them, but if i wasn't a student and wasn't working i could get all the benefits. Now does that make any sense, a person trying to better themselves can't get help but some lazy ass not doing nothing can get all the free money and help.

Nice example. Here's another...

A friend of mine is poor. And female. Her fault? She's white and has no child out of wedlock.

I had a neighbor who was poor but not as poor as my friend. She's not white and has a child out of wedlock.

My neighbor had her entire college paid for. She's no smartypants, so let's just say it wasn't for her grades.

My friend is a smartypants, but won't get **** because she's white and knows how to properly use birth control (my neighbor was reckless).

There ya go. Fair? Hell no.

Moral of the story - if you want to go to college, don't be white (and definitely don't be Asian, that's worse than being white) and have a child out of wedlock. Free ride, especially if you mark "unknown" for who the father is like my neighbor did.

So if I check "mother unknown" for my boys, I can get my college paid for? BRILLIANT!

I dont want to get too political but college is cheap and even if your friend had to pay for it herself, it would be much easier than trying to go to school while taking care of a kid.

Anyone can get a student loan and grants regardless of your skin color. Federal grants are for everyone. If your friend is over 23 or 24 years old, all of her tuition should be paid for with grants providing she meets the lower income requirement which used to be around 11k earned in your previous year. If your friend is under that age, she's not likely to get grants.

I'm not going to pretend to know you and your friends better than you but i'll just say that maybe there is more to the story.

Well, the problem is she isn't 24 yet, and her mother's an alcoholic and a loser and still uses her as a tax deduction (so she can buy more booze for her drunk boyfriend and herself).

So....

She's screwed. Can't get those loans until she's 24. If she applied right now, she'd get very little.

But yes, college is cheap, but the way the system works is you have to be 24 to get fully financed. That's what I did when I was 26 - went to Grad school and had my whole way paid for with loans, which I'm paying back today at 4.5%, which is a pretty good deal.

Yea, the same happened to me pretty much. Doesn't matter that I was on my own since I was 19 years old, they didn't care. So i just worked and took some classes until i figured out what I really wanted to do. By then, i qualified for grants and didn't have to do too much in loans.

Yeah, you have to be on your own for 2 years. You have to be able to show you made enough money to support yourself with 2 tax returns.

Grants are tricky. I got some, but not that much. You must have known what you were doing.

3 words. Unreported tip income :icon_smile:

I got no grants until the age of 24 also. It's just how it is.

True Digga.......the only way to make a decent living as a waiter/waitress is to not report all your tips. I have known many that did just that in order to survive. Damn government has it's dirty hands in EVERYONE's pockets.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (3h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (3h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (3h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (3h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (4h) : Who? What?
beast (13h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (17h) : meh
Zero2Cool (22h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (22h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (22h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
