My eyes aren’t getting better anytime soon, so don’t be surprised if I don’t post anything for awhile.
If you didn’t listen to last week’s Bloomington Public Comment you missed this one.
The first speaker claimed she has a Masters Degree and has 3 part time jobs. She wants rent control because she can’t afford the increases.
One of these is true:
- Her degree is worthless. She should demand a tuition refund from ISU.
- She can’t find a job because Illinois has the 3rd highest unemployment rate in the country. She needs to move to a state that doesn’t tax and regulate everything which wrecks prosperity.
Just hit play to listen. She claims if the City doesn’t act to control rent she will be forced to move. Move now!
Prayers for you Diane. Hoping you get well soon.
Its always someone else that needs to fix the problem you yourself created. If you spend money on a degree that does not give you marketable skills you made an expensive mistake.
This is one of the students arrested for not leaving Hovey Hall after close during the Palestine protests.
Probably expects her loans forgiven too!
She is a parasite threatening to leave- make my day!
Here we have an example of what our Equity based Social Emotional Learning system produces. But these students weren’t told that social activism doesn’t pay well and that employers trying to make a profit don’t want to hire them.
Now she is forced to depend on other people for her education, food, housing and healthcare.
Apparently there aren’t enough evil capitalists around here so she’ll have to figure out where they live and move in next to them.
Her degree isn’t worthless, her master’s degree in communication is quite marketable, even here in Illinois. One of the two insurance companies would likely hire her. Whether or not she would go that route….I doubt it. She’s probably anti big corporations. As for a tuition refund, we don’t owe her that. Based on her LinkedIn profile, see was a graduate assistant during her time at ISU. With that, she got a tuition waiver and was paid to teach COM 110. So, all she paid for were the fees, which are nowhere near the price of tuition. Any loans she has are likely from the pricey small liberal arts college she went to in Wheaton for her undergraduate degree.
If the first speaker (Rebecca) seeks a better opportunity for herself in a community that better matches the type of government-funded lifestyle she wants, that will help the housing shortage by freeing up a place to rent.
Krystle Able buddy. Give it to me for free. I deserve it!
