He's not in the best place, but it looks like they love that pup. I hope they take him east or to the south. I would get out of AZ and take him with them. And even people down on their luck love animals. It's the hard people that would do anything for a meal that you should watch out for... looks like the people they try to associate with wouldn't hurt him but help him.

Not sure that is even true anymore. Kids today have more access to see what drugs do then ever before and yet they still don't care and want to see what all the fuss is about. That's the problem with some people, they are so F'n stubborn and thickheaded that they always have to attend the school of hard knocks and learn everything by doing. They are the type of person who refuses to take advice and will do the complete opposite just to try and piss you off and show they know better. "Don't take drugs" is a challenge to them. Oh yeah, just watch how I can do 100 pounds of meth and then stop. Don't tell me what to do or how to live, I'm 18 and know more then everyone else who has ever lived since the dawn of man.

Dont drink either (even though it is technically a drug).

[@AnonymousAnarchist2]

.... Thats not the reality of drug use. I am gonna walk you through this nice and slow so you catch on Rich, white, and living on Daddy's money; you just thought of someone who lives on cocain and weed didnt you? Because that ia the reality of recreational drug use. So why would poor folk spend what coukd eaisly be half thier food budget on drugs? The answer is distrubing. Because Meth, cocaine, and pain pills all let a person go to work even when they are sick, worn out, or underfed. And Dr's cost a lot more to the poor then any of the above mentioned drugs. So the question isnt what drug will do to you, everyone knows. The question is: The devils at your door, you can play the addiction game and maybe win, but if you do not, you stay home sick he is there to kick you out, starve you, and force you to watch your very own children starve to death or die of heat exposure. So what do you say? Gonna flip that coin for life, or take a slow painful death?

I know plenty of veterans and they are doing very well. After they turn 65 they get Social Security in addition to military pension, plus free medical for life. Home owners, nice trucks, Harleys....The "homeless vets" are homeless for the same reason anyone else is - addiction, convicted felons and general pains in the ass that their families want nothing to do with them. Some veterans take their pensions, free college, no down payment home loans and build a good life. Some become criminals and low lifes.

People around the world cross oceans, spend their life savings literally risking their lives to come to the USA to be in the position these 2 are in. Yet they lay around in a trailer doing meth all day. If they got more "luck" they would just use it on meth unfortunately. I say healthy, because there are a lot of unhealthy people who physically couldn't survive in a trailer in those conditions, in that heat, without access to medicine or pills or healthy food. These people are healthy and able bodied enough that they can survive in those hard conditions. But they are on drugs so they're lost.

If you spend your your youth drinking, smoking, and getting high, this is where it leads your, if not to worse places. If you think this is the middle of nowhere, there are worse places. As a kid I lived in Ludlow, California. Ludlow was built around a watering station for the railroad, and Route 66 passed on one side. The town consisted of a small motel, a restaurant, garage, gas station, and a few old houses and trailers. All that is left today is the restaurant and the gas station. The houses are abandoned, and the trailers scrapped for the aluminum. But even in the hellhole of Ludlow, where 112 would be a cool day in July, there was work for anyone willing and able to do it, and everyone did.

He was supposed to work 40 hours per week which of course would be $1,000 weekly. He and his wife have 5 kids and live in a run down trailer house and have 2 junker cars. After a couple months he started having excuses after excuse about why he needed to work less. Eventually he said he can’t work Fridays. After 6 months he averages 22 hours weekly - 100% by his own choice. He could work 40 hours whenever he wants. He fairly regularly shares his financial woes. He’s a good worker, just doesn’t want to work more. I believe he’s very typical of todays homeless people. The work is out there but you need desire to work.

There's ALWAYS A JOB in America for someone that wants one. You may have to move to it, change your circumstances but it's out there. I grew up on Indian reservation and like everywhere there are those that make excuses and those that just go out and DO.

Every single poor person that Mr. Super interviews would be a lot less poor if they quit smoking. Yet almost everyone he interviews that's dirt poor smokes cigs. I used to smoke for almost 20 years. I get it, but I don't get it.

"It's an addiction." That's my brother's excuse, smh. He blows a minimum of $200 a week on malt liquor and Swisher cigars. He should just have his SSI check sent straight to the liquor store. 🙄

If you used to be a heavy smoker, you do understand. Before I quit with the help of anti-smoking medication and laser therapy, I smoked 2-3 packs a day. It took me about 30 years to finally quit.

This makes me count my blessings 🙏🏿 they have excuses for everything take care of my dad 🤦🏾‍♀️ got my phone coming but no job the way he probably busted his butt to get a phone use a friends phone call for jobs go to library to fill out applications on line she sounds like she put drugs and bums over her children she’s good at cleaning houses that’s her talent start a small business then watch it grow and get out of this situation it’s why the lord said you don’t work you don’t eat and some people just not determined or rely on government and family to take care of their children and responsibilities get mad at my comment but it’s true

[@cchaffincc]

Nope. She’s doing meth everyday. I wouldn’t let her near my house.

[@SolorockinOne]

Start a business is the new trendy theme. You will not LLC your way out of poverty. Look at the statistics on how many small businesses go under in its first year. 10 years ago no one was preaching start a business. It’s easier to just find a job for a stable income even though that won’t get you out of poverty either and neither will it stop drug use.

[@fourtwentythree]

@@SolorockinOneI’m thinking he means bring in some money without depending on someone to hire you ?

[@SolorockinOne]

@@fourtwentythree There’s nothing wrong with working for someone. Too many people preach starting a business as a solution to everything. Again, you will not LLC your way out of poverty but I understand where you’re coming from.

[@fourtwentythree]

@@SolorockinOne I like working for people but this woman in the video might find it difficult to get hired, but for herself she can probably make money and build a clientele. Again I’m not talking about an LLC I realize these not a viable solution for most people, so I understand you too 👍

[@livingintheforest3963]

Exactly. I agree with the comments. It’s so obvious that the father is the one keeping the ship together taking care of everything. I love the way she just addresses her husband and the father like she’s not responsible for anything. Especially having six kids when she can’t even feed herself no excuse!

They'll talk all around the drug addiction and how it interferes with their lives. When I had my business too many of my clients had work related physical injuries, mostly rotator cuff, and the guys would get hooked on the pain pills. Destroys marriages/lives. It's sad to watch it all unfold.

In the 70s and 80s I was hauling U S Mail coast to coast running team. We was in Gila Bend AZ and it was 124 outside and our AC quit on us . In a truck with no AC is like being in an oven. My partner was trying to sleep which was impossible. When you opened a window it was like getting hit with a blast furnace. Miraculously we got the job done and the mail was on time.

Life will get difficult in 20 to 30 years when no social security to look forward to or pensions or a 401k. Have to invest while you are young if you want a half way decent retirement. I turned 54 last week and it’s strange to be older now. Most don’t think about saving money until its too late. Hopefully these two get to work and save up for retirement.

[@jhobs909]

That’s not true at all. Only way someone can collect social security that never worked is if they were married to someone who is eligible for social security. They would be eligible for 50 % of their spouses benefits.

Determination of drugs is what drives them. It’s sad that six kids are left without their mother because of selfishness. She nonchalantly said that she doesn’t see her kids but Skypes with them. Why is she lying! She doesn’t have a phone or electricity?! The selfishness of this situation infuriates me! 😢 I feel so bad for the innocents in this situation.

[@coleengoodell7523]

They are better off without her. Many children grow up without there fathers and the dads always get a pass. She's a mess and she knows it. Her kids are in safe stable environments. She can't even provide that for herself, she's doing the right thing. Would you feel differently if she had given them up for adoption? At least they are with family who love them.

I had an aunt, uncle, and cousins who lived there for over 20 years and went to visit once in the summer. It was so hot that in the summer, they turned off their hot water heater, and when you wanted to shower or get a drink of water, you used the hot valve because the cold valve was too hot to shower or drink. It was miserable, to say the least. I never went back.
