Yes, you read Skinny's post correct. I was referring to Outbacks as well as Skinny's Yup. After about 5-7 years of that the place is totaled and they move on to another one. Then that apartment complex becomes a section 8 hellscape.

Fatty. Before I retired we worked a storm job in Dallas. I never anything like it in my life. Entire neighborhoods full of Mexicans with 20 to 40 people in each house. So many cars parked EVERYWHERE that we could not get our equipment in there. Cars parked everywhere and I mean absolutely EVERYWHERE!
Then after I retired I continued working on storm restoration with a contractor. Hauling equipment and materials into Louisiana, south Mississippi and Florida. I saw apartments, houses and trailer parks absolutely packed with people. It was worse than anything I saw overseas in combat areas. I thought packing 20 Marines into a SwaHut was bad, but that wasn’t even close to what I saw in Southern Louisiana or Dallas.
I hate making a good first impression. There’s no way I can keep that shit up.

They save for 10 years. Go home and retire like kings. It's a pattern. I don't begrudge them. Most are decent and just trying to survive. But it impacts our society in ways that are negative across the board. Republicans and democrats think it's a good thing. The reality is different tho.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
