Apocalypse economy

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Like the movie apocalypse now the setting where dude first sees the temple{panic in needle park a great Al Pacino role but no,proactive PD here} Catholic Charities facilities have drawn people hanging out,street wise players from every big city from NY to Chicago to LA gathering ,pimps , pushers and

people so predatory they are no longer welcome where they come from,here they have moved to greener pastures fresh meat

while the most vulnerable who have nowhere else to go are coming and going by the hundreds, Being sized up profiled for the horrors of a failed economy. =

No walk-on factory jobs , there used to be competition between temporary work companies you could work for Top temps,Kelly services Building maintenance and many other Temp agencies.

You could be on an assembly line at a plastic container factory one week or welding luggage carts at another&there were always options to get hired on if they liked your work, but ,if you couldn’t handle continuous 40hr work weeks working temporary was a viable way to pay the rent , not anymore hundreds of manufacturers are simply gone .

now rent is ridiculous high and food is marketed like the stock market, utilities are no longer paid making rent an illusion of reality.
