    This person basically saying, “I need to be paid if you want to speak with my property”.

    Why do they want everything to be treated like a business with contracts and signed agreements? I mean we know their worldview is fucked, but it’s still mind boggling that this is how they want to live and communicate with others.

      After reading sovcit nonsense for over a decade, I have a very simple conclusion. They are fucking stupid.

      They have to sign these legalese mumbo jumbo contracts to live in society, and rather than trying to parse them out, they assume that they are more akin to magic spells.

      So, much like a cargo cult, they believe if they repeat the words of the magic spells they will cast them for their own benefit.

      The sad thing is, at it’s core, I believe they are realizing that the state fucks the poor ever chance it gets. What they get from that though, because they are dumb, is that it’s all magic spells because of rugged individualism beaten into them by American culture. They should be developing class consciousness.

    It’s strange how there’s a collection of specific magic words in a specific order that can do anything but they can accidentally use the wrong word in this one and it’s just fine

    CPS has always been fucking useless in my opinion. Cigarette burn on my hand as a kid, but there was “insufficient evidence for removal”. Check out my post history to see what kind of person that decision led to…

      My mom was a CPS agent for many years and a lot of that is out of their hands for various reasons. Mainly no budget in many areas, shitty judges unwilling to allow the kids to be moved, or if they can move the kids there is no one who will take them.

      Doesn’t mean there aren’t shitty agents and supervisors, there are quite a few people who apply who are not qualified or have blatant issues.

        I’m a foster parent and yeah, there just isn’t anywhere for these kids to go. In any given state there are hundreds of kids who need a bed. The statistics for kids in the system are absolutely abismal. Something like 50% of kids in the system will end up with an addiction. It’s super rough to be a foster parent.

        Statisticly, kids are better off in abusive homes than in the system. Which is something that once I learnt, has been a constant battle to try to square

        It’s all so tragic

          Thank you for your service. I was friends with a foster kid and the situation at the foster home was fucked. One day for fun I went with a bunch of the foster kids to an out of the way parking lot, where they just beat the shit out of each other, fight club style.

          His foster parents seemed like nice people, but the living situation was more like a fucked up dormitory where you got what you could through intimidation and violence.

          DJ I hope you’re ok.
