The last time i moved i went on a box hunt to pack my stuff in and while roaming the back lot of the local Kroger, I saw a guy hosing down the dumpster full of produce and other food items.

I asked him why he was doing it and he told me it was to speed up the rotting process in the summer heat so the homeless wouldn't scavenge the food.

This really pissed me off that so much gets wasted and destroyed on purpose while some of our own citizens go hungry.
So i asked him why they didn't just load it up and send it to the free store?
He said it was because they can't write it off if they donate it.

WTF?
Now i know Kroger does do cheritable things for the community, but it makes no sense that something that can be used to ease the burden on some people simply isn't done, and why our pathetic government doesn't create more incentives for them to stop wasting so much food.

Sorry, didn't mean to rant, but this really bothers me that we as a society care so little for those who are down on their luck.
All homeless people aren't lazy bums, and some of them have families waiting back at the box for Mommy and Daddy to bring back something to eat.

I thank the good Lord that i have been so blessed, but since a certain company came to town I have virtually lost every client i managed to get for my business.
Notice how i have been here more lately?

I'm not worried though, I'll be fine, but so many aren't and need a hand, so why can we not reach out to them more by making use of more of what gets wasted?

You're a good man Cat...

No, i'm a man who may be living in a box soon, lmmfao.
It's not funny, but it makes me chuckle like a mad man.

I have been to the bottom before, it ain't fun, and unless you have talent or experience in something, you're screwed.

And the thing is, it can happen to anyone, anywher, at anytime.
There is nothing secure in this country anymore, nothing.

And even if you have talent and experience, chances are they'll hire someone in India who will do it for $2.00/hr.

[Cathedral]

Ain't we just living in the greatest country on earf, hunny? lmmfao.

I'll always have a job as long as there are car lots, I'm pretty sure that's what i'll be doing by the end of next week anyway.

People should get used to this. Not saying it is right, but it is the way of the world. We do live in a time when companies have figured out how to do business globally. That is a major factor.

While the executives of those same companies pay themselves 7 figure salaries for sitting on their fat asses. Corporations are too goddamn big, thanks to the GOP congress.

no wonder you're a record exec cockroach...

Retard,

The point I'm trying to make is NOTHING in the report is news, it isn't like it is something we all didn't know.

Thanks for the cheapshot though, your debating skills are highly refined....

Yeah that was the theory. Proving yet again that Howard Dean was right.

You're both a victim of the liberal media.

That is certainly very true sir.

Cath -

why do you keep apologizing for your rants? Stop. Every time you "rant", I get a broader view of the world and learn something. Keep 'em coming.

Please.

We all here already knew that malnutrition rates for chidren under the age of 5 had doubled in Iraqi post the US-led invasion of Iraq? Did you even read the story? I didn't know that, and I bet others didn't either, so it actually is news, since it is a new UN report. If you did know that, you certaily don't seem very concerned by your blase response, oh how surprising. So another congratualations to all those who were all ago for invading and murdering the citizens of Iraq.

BT -

On this one, you're wrong. People die every day, so why should we report on any new people dying? Pope's have died with startling regularity over the course of the past 1900 years, so what's so newsworthy if another one goes? There'll just be another.

Murders, pedophilia, marriages, etc are all ever day occurences. However, if it doesn't remain in the news, then eventually no one will even be aware of any of these events.

How is this not worthy of mention?
