Title: Obama is speaking in Ft Myers now
Post by: 240 is Back on February 10, 2009, 09:22:47 AM
10% county unemployment, not counting part-timers and self-employed, which was a lot of our construction workers.

lee county led the nation in forecloseures last year.

This whole city is shut down - everyone watching him on TV - everyone packing roads to see him drive past.


They've been interviewing ppl all morning about who can't find a job.  Obama's speaking to a city of really desperate people.

Steele on FNC asked DNC Chair Kaine why Obama needed Republicans to vote for the pork-laden bill. Steele made the point that the Democrats have the votes they need to pass it without anymore Republicans - so why is Obama making a plea for Republicans to vote for it. Because Democrats want to share the blame when it tanks the economy even more. They want it to look like a bi-partisan failure.

Give em enough rope to hand themselves. This may well work in the short term...or not as we've seen with Tarp...either way Repubs win.  The nation gets better or Barry n'O' fails.

A older woman named Henrietta just stood up and asked a question.  She said she doesn't need parks and recreation.  She needs help with her home.  "Help us".  Something along those lines.

An emotional moment.  Obama walked down and hugged her, and said his staff would contact her.  I think she's going to be an ongoing national story.

Why not tell this woman to "man up" for lack of a better term and tought it out like people in the past did?

250 tickets went to people who waited all night in line.

1250 tickets were dispersed to community organizations, local politicians, etc

What a sad sack of people.  Instead of listening to this drivel, they should be hitting the pavement knocking on doors, making phone calls, calling temp agencies, etc.

I have no pity for people who wont help themselves and would rather put their faith in the slave master like Obama than their own self.

Pathetic.

Message is loud and clear to me.  Shit, I'm not getting any $ from Obama. 

I'm just hoping it'll stop my city from collapsing.  I wish you could drive down my streets.   3/4 of the homes on every block have foreclosure locks on teh door.  Garbage and racoons all over.  Empty storefronts everywhere.  Crime is sick.  Home invasions and all that...

it sucks here.  I'm tired of seeing it.  I don't care if Obama takes $X from millionaires who are used to tax cuts, and uses it to create 100X jobs.  These folks can't work, and the city I live in is turning to shit as a result.

All my family and friends live here.  Weather is nice too.  

I'd prefer we try to FIX things, rather than just abandon them.

Besides, if you keep abandoning these places, it ends up becoming cities of vagrants - leads to crime, infestation, disease, etc, and eventually it'll spill over into your suburb.

Some lived beyond their means.

Others were well within their means - when they had a job.

Our entire economy is based upon tourism and construciton - and both are dead.

If I were you, I would start a small cleaning/maintenance company and contact all the banks who own the foreclosures.  

Charge a small monthly fee for upkeep etc and you will make $$$$$ very quickly.

well maybe your city should diversify tourism lulls and construction can only go on for a limited amount of time so this was bound to happen to your city sooner or later...again you should probably move.

Charge something like $50 - $100 a month or whatever.  Put a brochure together and get on the phone.  

You can even look up other companies that do this and get sub-contract work from them.  

Take the initiative.  Dont wait for anybody and make the first step.

U'll also need to get licensed and insured which is minimal. This is a good idea. My GF has her own cleaning business and I'm going to suggest this to her. She used to do plenty of new builds, I guess this is the reverse.

When I started my business, I literally had school debt and $700 to my name, no clients, nothing.  

I hit the pavement, made phone calls, etc.  I tried, I really pushed open doors and took the initiative.  

Now, I am getting busier by the day.  It was tough, but I know how to get beyond these brain funks that stop people from acting.

Its all a mindset.  

I am not a brain surgeon.  But I do have street smarts, perseverance, and initiative.

I am not a money freak BTW.  I like my freedom in working for myself and value that over the higher salary I could make working for a large law firm. 

I also like working at my own pace and not be a corporate slave and tool.

Plus, not many companies want to a hire My Cousin Vinny to be in their corporate suites.
