Well if you are dumb and unskilled and all your “references” are from the courthouse and local jail then thats the kind of work open to you. Bad pay, no advancement, brain optional.

Not just her, he was trying to burn the house down. Probably had some dopey idea this would destroy the evidence.

No she was married. Husband still worked as he Is president of a company. There was a photo of their 50th anniversary in 2024 on the Palm Beach coast. Poor woman.

In today's political climate, with young POC constantly hearing from the MSM, the Left and the Democrats that they're being treated unfairly, maybe he was angry and envious of her lifestyle and just snapped.


R.I.P.

The problem is more and more companies are subcontracting their delivery services. The guys that delivered our furniture looked like they were on a work release program, and weren’t nice. Even Walmart in my area has subcontracted their home grocery delivery, which I discovered when I called Walmart after they forgot two of my moms bags. I don’t trust any of these subcontractors to vet the way a company does and they don’t act the same. When shortly after our furniture was delivered we had to have a piece exchanged we had real MCys drivers and it was night and day in terms of service and politeness.

Yeah, let's make it a left/right issue and pretend the guy on Pennsylvania Avenue isn't doing more than enough to divide the country.

You have to take the good with the bad ... A lot of people who didn't work for years are now in the workforce and now we get to deal with them.


Do we want everybody working or not?


Take a look at some of the Amazon people delivering your packages.

Yes I want them working but I want them held to the same standard that employees of the store are held to. I don’t want bad apples sent to peoples homes.

Yes the Amazon Flex drivers are already a problem. They leave my stuff in the oddest spots imaginable. I once called Amazon cause I got a text saying my package was delivered but I couldn’t find it anywhere just a few minutes later. I wanted Amazon to call the driver and ask where they left it but they don’t do that. They send an email and outside of email have no contact with them.

Yes, there is more to this tragic story than we know now. Terrible!
