The woman who called ICE to report 6 Guatemalans - who nearly finished installing a $10,000 roof - in order to avoid paying them, has been arrested for exploiting immigration status to obtain an economic benefit.
Earlier today, two boys I didn’t know (roughly 12-13 years old) knocked on my front door. My house is about 200 yards off the road, so outside of deliveries we don’t see much front door action here.
I answered, and one of the boys was bleeding from scrapes on hands, elbows and knees from falling off his bike. They asked if I had bandaids.
Brought them inside, got them water, stuff to clean wounds, and patched him up. Offered to call his parents, drive them home, etc. They declined, thanked me and left. A few hours later, dad is banging on my door asking why I thought it was ok to let a child I didn’t know into my home.
Motherfucker…why is your teenager not trained not to knock on strangers doors then go into their home if that’s your position? I sincerely can’t stand people. You can’t even be fucking human anymore. So demoralizing. Am I crazy?????
Someone said this: “once your kids no longer depend on you for food and survival you are left with the relationship that you cultivated or lack thereof.” I think it makes a lot of sense
Hey US Government, can you fix the roads you taxed me to build, so I won't fuck up my car you tax me annually to drive, that I payed for with the income you also tax, that I park at my home that's highly taxed?
Thanks,

This kid bagging my groceries put all the cold items together, all the boxes in perfect formation.
"You're really good at this," I said.
He stopped and looked up.
"Nobody's ever told me I was good at anything before."
He's maybe sixteen.
I watched him finish bagging with the precision of someone who just discovered they had a talent.
Recognition changes everything.
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
I’m a landlord. It’s a tough business. I had a tenant, Mr. Alvarez. Never late on rent for 5 years. Then, the checks stopped. I went to his apartment. He didn’t open the door. I used my key. The apartment was empty. No furniture. Just a mattress on the floor and Mr. Alvarez sitting on it. “I’m sorry,” he said, looking down. “My wife got sick. The medication… I sold everything. I’ll leave today.” I looked at the empty room. I went to my truck. I grabbed my tools. “I’m not kicking you out,” I said. “But I am raising the rent.” He looked terrified. “I’m raising it to $0 for the next six months.” He started to cry. “And,” I added, “I’ve got an extra sofa in storage. And a table. Let’s get this place looking like a home again.” That was three years ago. His wife recovered. He’s back on his feet. He insists on paying me double rent now to "pay back the debt." I put the extra money into a fund for other tenants who struggle. A roof over someone’s head is a business. Keeping a roof over their head when they’re drowning? That’s a duty.

Yesterday, my brother called me from the Netherlands, and as I was talking to him, a white lady told me to "speak English," so I turned to her and, as harshly as I could, I said in perfect English, "What the fuck did you just say to me?" I swear I saw her soul leave her body😂😂.
