italian i dont think you really realize just how bad things are on the low end in this country. my wife recently had to quit her job in a poor neighborhood cause a guy threatened to kill her. the neighborhood was a pretty bad one, but the frustration these people live in is amazing.

and i saw in the paper yesterday that the company that owns Giant food stores (a big supermarket chane round here) is being investigated because they inflated profits ala Enron and MCI. there is another shit load of hard working people that will end up losing their pensions and jobs with nowhere to go and work at again. how many times does it happen before the middle moves down and forces out the poor?

how long before those poor people that are already frustrated with the world they are in now get shoved further down and they decide to say fuck it and start rioting and such?
