I've never met Bart Jansen but I'd like to thank him for just doing his job. There's so many lies and fabricated stories out there, especially with the right-wing media, it's nice to see a journalist just doing his job and reporting the facts. Fifty bucks says he got access to the police report and then called several SFPD contacts and put the story together of what really happened. This is what journalism actually looks like.
"I was a money-dumb trailer baby." Gawd, I love Trae Crowder.
Don't worry, I'm a Gen-Xer and none of these student loan forgiveness funds can touch the made-up, bullshit about SallieMae claims I owe.

| Me on my first day in Australia. I was about 20 years younger and 70 pounds lighter. |
It's been almost 20 years since I spent four months in Australia having the time of my life. I loved that country and I wanted to stay. But a couple years post-9/11 Australia's version of Immigration, the IMMI, was cracking down on all backpackers overstaying their welcome.
Six weeks after this picture was taken, when I was on the other side of the county in Perth, I passed a group of retirees with some tables and signs set up. They were very nice aging Hippie types and they told me they were protesting then Prime Minister Howard's cuts to their version of Medicare.
In 2003, the entire welfare system in Australia, the "dole" seemed pretty robust. They had work programs, universal healthcare, some equivalent to food stamps, etc. Nobody was hungry and the rule was 'only those lay abouts who don't want to take yaka don't work.'
Discarded: Australian Women Over 50
The global Recession in 2009 changed everything and it changed it everywhere. As usual, women over 50 are getting the shit end of the stick.
