Anyone else can add to this list?

If I was a homeless person locked out of the workforce I'd wear a sign in back: I'm costing you $42.5k a year! Find me a job, and save yourself the money!

That's the average annual cost of having one homeless person on our streets!
The vast majority of them are hooked on Meth and usually multiple substances. My profession gives me special insight into this issue.

They also tend to get violent when they don't get their way. Witnessed this firsthand just a few days ago.

You should see the bills they rack up with their Medicaid coverage.

Step one, don't go to jail. That was your first mistake. A CHOICE you made landed you in prison.
There are consequences to all of our choices. You can't get mad at anyone but yourself for doing something stupid.


Step two, if you need an address, get a PO box or use a friend/relative. They're not going to mail you anything or come visit you.

Step three, going into 14k of debt for a job that pays 39k median is mind blowingly stupid.


Step four, here's a list of places that hire felons. Companies Hire Felons - Get this Updated List for January 2019


Any more excuses for me to debunk?

You should try reading carefully. I said "ALMOST" got an IT position. This was years before I got into the carpenter's union.
I went from Carpentry to welding. I got certified to weld while still in the union. The carpenter's union covers steel stud framers, which weld clips to beams for said studs. They cover pile drivers who do underwater welding. And they cover millwrights who do a variety of structural welding. They have a CWI teaching classes. They have an water tank for training underwater welders. I taught myself to weld in my garage, took the one week class specifically to get a cert, and ended up being the only person in the class to get certified.


I even have 3rd party video of me welding.

You should try taking a less condescending tone with basically everyone on this board.

I did 3 days in December, mainly to make up for all the money I spent on the kids.

I did 3 or 4 days in November to make up for the 450 I spent on tools.

I did 2 days in Oct just because I had 2 days between cars to fix.

I haven't done anything this year at all. I've had a steady stream of customers.

Does respect pay my bills? Nope. I don't really care about it.
You bring me your car. I'm polite to you. I am honest with you. I don't upsell you on stuff you don't need. I don't overcharge. I do good work. I get you back on the road quickly. You pay me. Everyone is happy. That's all I care about. I do not care about some anonymous dude on the internet respecting me. You don't matter to me until you bring me business. I shouldn't matter to you unless I bring you business.

I thought you said that you were doing mobile repair?

Do you honestly think, that after the way you have acted on here, that myself and probably many others here would ever ask you to repair our vehicles or recommend you to anyone else? I mean, if you act like this on a public message board, I'm just tickled pink to think about how doing business with you might be.

I am doing mobile repair.... Bring me business as in call me up and say "Hey can you fix my car."
Jesus you're special.

I can't advertise business on this page. I'm not trying to get people off this page.
I have my own pool of customers. I have good word of mouth. I keep my bills paid. Your opinion is meaningless to me.


You're clearly a troll. I'm going to stop replying to your posts.
