This is one of the biggest problems with our society today - the infantilization of adults and the absence of discernment and wisdom.

This 52 year old grandmother on a fixed income (where is/what happened to her husband?) is on the brink of personal disaster because of choices she made and the lack of preparation for hard times.  I'm inclined to believe that real charity cases are rare and people make themselves into victims becasue of the choices thay make.  Then the government forces me to provide for them.

Correct.  We do not need any more government handouts.  We need fewer people making bad decisions and expecting taxpayers to reward them for those bad decisions.

what we actually need is decent paying manufacturing jerbs. but they took em. now people have the option of working 40 hrs for shit wage at shit service jobs, or getting roughly the same amount in handouts. people may be lazy but they aren't THAT dumb and they do follow economic incentives.

Or if they had any self respect they would work to improve their position and better themselves.

You dont have to have a big screen, new car and a thousand dollar phone to make it in this world.

We pay people to be dumb and lazy.

If they were a little bit hungry they would try a little harder

That's probably pretty accurate.

There's plenty of "Mah Feelz" TV and radio shows out there who will pick up the gauntlet she threw down. Either that or she'll pull $50k from a GoFundMe.

Who could have foreseen these things happening?  I wonder if we aren't going to see a massive media blitz showing the suffering of people cut off.

If you haven't been paying attention, self respect is one of the many traditional western values the people in charge have been working hard to eradicate.

Things like self worth, a nuclear family and exceptionalism are not conducive to their vision.

This, what a fucking joke. How many people did everything/doing things right and get nothing when they need it most? Millions, yet this woman does the "Woah, my bad choices have fallout? Its everyone else`s fault!" bit and just watch, some dealership will give her a car, lightly newer/better then what of us have, for fucking free, writing it off on their taxes while some of us are driving cars from the late fucking 90s.

Have you ever seen the spelling and writing of the typical college graduate in the past 10-15 years? To say it's atrocious is understating the problem a significant amount. The only way most get by is by spellcheck or some other correction program. I'd bet an eighth grader 100 years ago could spell and write at a far higher level then most graduates that hold a bachelors or higher degree of today.

Lol, look at the writing in some of the articles that are posted here; it is incredible what passes for "journalism" these days. Often times paragraphs and sentences don't communicate a coherent thought.

Hoooooly crud wow. Just a spectacular showcase of epically bad life choices.

None of those fatties is going to bed hungry. This is the first-worldiest of first world “problems”.

She's only a grandmother at 52?
What a loser, she's supposed to be a great-grandmother by now.
And she should have bought the Chrysler 200 instead of the 300.
