What the heck does any of that have to do with the woman who fell asleep and asphyxiated on gas fumes?

Corruption and theft? Where? Nobody twisted her arm to take those jobs.

But leave it to the Huffington Post to spin that sucker into a nice compact digestible pill to be quaffed down by the leftie masses.


I'm not buying it.

You can sleep in your car - she needed a place to catch up on some z's before her next shift started.

No. Just ban keeping gas cans in your trunk. That should prevent anyone from dying accidentally in their car catching a nap.

It is hard to work three jobs.

I have worked a full time job and two part time jobs.

It was good for me.....I learned I did not like being poor.

This lady made a bad choice with the gas in her car.

what should i draw from this story? working pte is evil.
carrying gas is evil. service workers should be paid more.
service workers should have limos to take them places.
sleeping in your car should be illegal? taxpayers should pay for hotels for service workers to sleep.
help me out.

You are not seeing the full picture and in who is responsible for the descent to where we are today.

Corporations and Banks create foreign and domestic trade pacts to benefit them that they pass off on to their puppet politicians, open up our southern borders to allow cheap illegal labor in for more profits and the consequences of that in a supply demand driven economy is lowered wages and no manufacturing jobs and that is already traveling up the totem pole to skilled workers as well

And they have the nerve to ask where is the corruption and theft.

They are stealing from the country via their policies in what is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic, not a Corporate Monarchy all for them.

Yes, I know that with Globalism, it is going to be harder for everyone, but none of the politically connected want to take a paycut. They want everyone else to below them.

Little money is spent that way.

Obamacare.

That is why employers are moving to part time employees.

Just wait until 2016.

So here we have a women working 4 jobs motivated to better herself living on 3 hours of sleep a day and dies.

All so that Corporate Lobbyists, Investors and Banks can continue to reap the world from their Foreign and Domestic Economic policies they wrote up to pass on to their puppets in DC.
Worked as many as four jobs..... not working four jobs

Carrying gasoline in a can in your car is not wise.

Sleping 3 hours a night has its consequences.

Without the 'rest of the story' anything is pure speculation and cause of death was not listed as 'worked to death'. You can make the same case for any commuter that gets killed in an accident on the way to work.

Why not blame lack of education or lack of common sense or who knows what but not low wages as you have no clue as to her gross income or self imposed expenses.

Why heck, the feds will blame sugary donuts for her death.

Lobbying Spending Database | OpenSecrets

Top Lobbying Industries

Misc Business $6,222,186,821
Health $6,129,444,976
Finance/Insur/RealEst $6,114,392,300
Communic/Electronics $5,024,864,161
Energy/Nat Resource $4,541,655,840
Other $3,238,679,056
Transportation $3,112,258,359
Ideology/Single-Issue $2,006,128,150
Agribusiness $1,838,821,458
Defense $1,754,280,083
Construction $669,720,712
Labor $606,259,501
Lawyers & Lobbyists $420,666,755

That does not even take into account the amount of dark money, anonymous pacts, campaign contributions and back deal bribes. And the amounts being showered on politicians is reaching records, because the top wealthy believe the government is the solution. Everyone else not politically connected or with the monetary means gets left to the wayside.

Do you like your money being stolen to prop up the Finance industry via bailouts and Quantitative Easing as well as money stolen to prop up Big Insurance and Healthcare Industry?

Do you have any idea the amount of money that has been lost to the average citizen because of these "Free Trade Pacts" and Open Borders all to make a few more wealthy?
