I was at the grocery store yesterday and saw 2 guys buying a loaf of cheap white bread and 4 tomatoes and they were expounding to each other what a great meal they were going to have. Seems I see quite a few of these type of people hanging around the city with shopping carts filled with miscellaneous things not having taken a bath for quite a while and wonder how they get this way? Some in fact look very normal -
It also seems like the gap between the high class and lower class is getting closer together. That is to say the middle class is getting squeezed out into either of those -
I also wonder if what seems to me an invasion of your privacy formed into drug tests, background checks, credit checks, criminal checks, driving record checks and all that may be putting more people in these situations than ever before. I also see people coming here from foreign lands taking jobs which their government never really had such records so they get jobs no matter if they have a shady past or not. So for some, being born and raised here is a hinderance lol -
I was looking for insurance when I got to Florida and was turned down by a few places. They said it was due to my driving records from Michigan. I'm like WTF are you talking about? I sent for the records and found that every accident claim that happened at the last 3 addresses I resided was put on those records. There was only 1 of mine and accident claims of my wife, sons and even my fathers were put into account. Well isn't that just ****in wonderful? I on the other hand had to prove that the others had nothing to do with me. I wonder how many other mistakes are on other records of mine? Come to think of it there was an error on my social security number. Some idiot made a 1 year error on my birth date. I suppose it was done when they changed my records over to computers. This made it tough to find a job since what I filled out on applications and what was reflected at the SS admin did not match. Like I was trying to falsify my birth date. Who'da ever thunk the SS admin could make a mistake? The SS office on the other hand said it had always been that way and since the computer records are so proficient that they finally caught it. What bull****! You mean that using my SS# for taxes & jobs for so many years have never been caught before? Anyways, I then needed to take time from my schedule and life to make it right again. Sitting in the SS office for litterally hours & hours 3 times before it was actually ironed out -
Well! All of this just got me thinking how these types of computer record keepings can actually ruin your life and put you out in the cold for no apparent reason of your own. Possibly even to the point of eating tomato sandwiches withn your bum friend lol. I haven't even touched on the horror stories I have read about identity theft. They say computers can only enhance our lives but the way I see it, they have only complicated our lives. I suppose there seems to be more good than bad IDK. They said computers wouldn't put people out of work but I see more and more jobs being phased out taken over by computer innovations. 1 for computers, 0 for humans -
What am I saying here? I have no frikin idea but I'll end the rant here and see what others say about my random rants here anyways lolerz - :p
