Bertha feels your pain. Like Humans she is headed in the same direction millions of you have found yourselves in, through no fault of your own. 2 -3 jobs, and still people cannot afford rent, food, housing, nada. She applied to several apartments to be told, you need 3 times the rent, plus deposit, plus a deposit for the deposit, plus utilities, no amenities, air, a pretax to cover the taxes the owners must swallow if someone decides to skip out. Folks, the math isn’t adding up, on any continent, it does not add up. The same half assed idiots running congress are refusing to offer any form of relief to their constituents. Nothing says I love you like your snake oil salesman giving you the middle paw while taking your money.
People are living in hotels, trying to live in their cars, rv’s, tents. Let me ask you all this, how is this harming any of you in your daily lives? How? Why do you want to see these people suffer, instead of offering them to park where they harm no one? They are normal people trying to survive, live, work, pay their bills and taxes like you and me. They don’t have cooties, or mental illness, few are on drugs, most are with kids, trying to feed and keep the families together. Really Bad stuff, right? Have any of you priced rents lately? If you can find any form of housing that is at 500, it’s in an area that suffers from gang violence, places you in a retirement community that is disguising the fact it’s a nursing home. yes, you must agree to a DNR, give up the last dime you have, lose any freedom at all, lights out at 4pm. No not going to happen. Young people are not going to go for it, even healthy people in their 60’s are giving the middle paw. You won’t get Bertha or Puppy in one, they had a meeting, not going to happen.
This is not the rich vs the poor, it’s the elite who refuse to allow anyone to get ahead. It is the nuveau riche who assume it cannot happen to them. Oh really? Nurses and doctors, lawyers, anyone working over 40 hours, is losing everything. The last time we saw doctors and nurses sleeping in their car, it was for a Nooner or sleeping off a Nooner. Now, like many others they struggle to live incognito in their vans or RV’s, SUV’s. Teachers, union workers, anyone earning a paycheck or who is retired. Nobody is immune. Sticking your noses in the air as if you are superior does not make it go away or make you look good.
The public is in a free fall, with no safety net, nobody to say hello, we see you and want to help. Instead, we must fund trump and his fake war. NO, you must take your rabbit ears out of your pants, show a spine and lock up all who put this country in this mess. Don’t you dare talk about how others might be gay, so what, you have innocent people forced out of their homes, children, real people, good people, suffering badly. Who gives a twat if someone has an accent. If they are here legally, leave them alone. Unless you are willing to help them, shut the hell up.
People, you let this happen when you swallowed the KOOL AID. You let religion dictate your common sense, need to dummy down instead of letting this country move forward. If you effed up growing up that is on you. You cannot hold back those wanting education, who want safety in our streets instead of machismo in their pants. By the way there is medication for that. Education and religion can be wonderful things, but you need to not cherry twist whim over common sense. This is why you have a senile, puppet with dementia, in control of the football. If that does not scare the crap out of you, it should.
Elections are happening and those who are homeless won’t be allowed to vote, republicans knew that. This is how they plan to cheat, don’t let those who lost their homes, address vote. Hello. Look at the math people, that is a lot of people who won’t get their right to free speech. Don’t let this happen, be their voices, speak up and say enough is enough. If you cannot get their houses back, give them a voice. Demand your governor, mayors, representatives push to allow the homeless some sort of rent relief. No landlords should be allowed to cash in on this situation. It is wrong, greedy and evil. They bought these apartments with the knowledge they have to eat some minga, most have the means to do so and write it off as losses on their taxes. That is money they are stealing from you.
Bertha has walked the walk, not just talked the talk. She has walked in the shoes of the homeless, decided she would be your/our voices. Her voice isn’t going to be silenced, she won’t be threatened, nor kicked out because she speaks inconvenient truth. That will just make her scream louder. Nothing scares a republican like a ballsy dame with a voice. Ring any bells, George. Anne knew what she was doing.
Bertha feels your pain folks, I see it, am keeping a close eye on it, and will soon be there myself. The difference is the second time around you have learned a few things. This cannot last much longer. People are fed up, tired of getting jerked around, told to shut up and take it. It can happen to any of you, so do not assume you are immune. Nanno seconds and you are looking at the back seat of your SUV in a whole new light. Think about it. Vote them all out. That is your legal right. Sheep are watching and so is the world.
