An Amish store that gets cast offs from the regular groceries. Exactly what you described so I sort of assumed it was the same place. I think there are three of them now. I guess there is more than one place like that.
BBs is awesome
The ER might not let you die but fuck you if you need some sort of medication you can’t afford.
I think it also shows that some one who is a “good leader” can also do corrupt things for personal gain. We expect our politicians to be better people than a lot of us are (and we should) but are often surprised when they don’t live up to what we think they should be.
I would look at some one like Baltimore City mayor Sheila Dixon. She was actually a pretty good mayor especially when comparing her to some that came after her. But she stole gift cards from the city that were ment for low income families.
It’s probably a slippery slope. Like why shouldn’t I benefit some from all this good I’m doing. In the case of Long it probably had something to do with him needing the money to help get reelected to continue to help people. Again I’m not saying any of this is ok, just that it is pretty complex to figure out why people do stuff and that it’s pretty human to do both good things and be greedy and self serving.
