I covered that already and gave plan b's and c's knowing nikkas would come along talking about why it cant work...And this aint the 1960's or whenever Claudine came out....You was busy studying Cluadine thinking why shyt cant work,instead of studying how she hid the toaster,older children and James Earl Jones...If ya mama aint already under suspcision,and you keep the paper work straight address wise, you should be fine temporarily,i wasn't giving that as a long term solution....But yes if the situation in ya house is ya mama or girl is lying to get benefits,dont fukk up that situation....Chances are you would already know of the situation because you've been trained on how to get around it,or ya mama is scared to death and will tell you no.
As a old Chicago nikka you should know theres more than one way to skin a cat,Why you so focused on the negative today Art,I already gave the good and the bad in my post....you just had to pile on with more negative,nikkas know they home situations and what wouldn't work....But sometimes there is no good reason why it couldn't work other than peoples pride getting in the way,or fukked up attitudes....Which is what my post was speaking to more than anything.
You are not old enough to know from experience how exasperated the possibilities are in general, that you are speaking on.
Have you been destitute as an actual adult.
After doing everything possible to speak on this.
I don't really think you are because you speak from the perspective of someone self equating from a positive rule.
When you should be speaking about this from the least possible general rule and perspective.
I talk in covert action here and I know it is not many of you.
who even know the streets like you say you do at all.
Definitely as an actual adult.
I have actually been through all this shyt on extreme levels of poverty.
as an adult and I know from actual execution in nature.
It is next to impossible in general to make it at all in this day and age.
Especially, if you are poor and make below the median.
You have to earn twelve dollars and hour in America in a urban progressive city.
to make it as far as a place to stay and pray you get subsidized heating and electric as a rule.
At twelve dollars an hour.
You make 3 dollars and change more than you can make to get an ebt card as a male.
So, you will have a place to stay and no food.
The median that cancels out ebt is 830, a month.
An apartment with no electrical or heat government subsidies is at the least 850 in Chicago.
Unless you go to the welfare office and get the low rent list and all low rent list apartments on this list.
if liveable all include no government subsidized heat and electric.
Heat in Chicago for an apartment in the harsh winter could be 400 to seven hundred dollars, a month.
Which you will need a government subsidies based help program to aid you in being warm and not die.
[I, know so because I survived on eye of a stove heat and a burned out overused oven for heat.
Including, numerous and all brands of heaters. to the point I know what heater is the best on the shelf, for real.]
When, the setup for that is only at the welfare office on Thursday and it is a multiple trip based endeavor every rip.
till you get approved. Which means when it is cold you will have to miss work at your unable to afford rent job and now stuck.
All because you can not afford any utilities in any apartment.
in any urban city who has real harsh weather.
Travel on public transportation was ten dollars a day for a one day pass and every bus ride without a issued ventra transit card or proximity of an el was a quarter shy of three dollars, A BUS RIDE.
NOT A TRANSFER, WITH THAT,...JUST A BUS RIDE.
When you could possibly have five transfers in one destination just to make it to the Waukegan meets Wisconsin line to find possible employment and have to start your day at 345am to make it to work at nine am.
This is one way,...now multiply it by two trips.
So, all the shyt you talking I know is not real in nature.
I know so because I did everything you could feasibly do and the numbers do not match and anyone in the circumstance for real would tell you that.
You are not and have not endured the circumstance.
I know so because you would not be talking the bullshyt dialogue you are.
Like I am way more resourceful on a level.
I have not met nikkaz who have done what I can and will do and have and do.
Within two bars of any record you listen to me on.
I tell you who and what I really am for real, for real.
Plus, how even after all the shyt i been through from corporate America to the block.
I know my expertise far outweighs other nikkaz and in person I know my braintrust in what I do on all levels would dwarf yours.
I ain't never had shyt lucky,...i have the worst circumstances in life.
of anyone I know from my background and I don't mesh with other coddled two parent family home kids.
All because I find them to be disrespectful to kids who are not as privileged and I know they would get the shyt beat out of them in an orphanage/foster/shelter setting off gp alone.
I seen them get beat down, all the time too.
As they have not endured socially anything remotely close to what my environment is/was. At any stage and I know the in's and out's of everything from foster to shelter to orphanage based life and I am not a foster kid or an orphan at all.
Yet, I live a full life.
That has really experienced life from the perspective of a kid with a double life.
that leaves all the foster kids at the foster home.
So, I respect the fact I had a place to study and go home to my two parent family home.
Which is why in my late teens to my twenties is why I was more successful. Than anyone I knew without a degree.
Everyone is not that lucky, or born into a college pedigreed two family home.
When kids who were way more cognitively brilliant.
had no where to study and that is why they could not do.
what you or possibly I did in a two parent family home with resources.
To being an adult fighting poverty stricken in a battle.
that has no possible positive outcome for me against my enemies.
Regardless of how hard I work from the bottom again.
Or how hard I do this or that, being stricken by poverty is the hardest hardship in American life.
Especially when you are born into it, or even worse in my predicament.
Forced into it by white men way more powerful than you, that you actually helped them make the revenue that lead to their power.
So, what you talking is some sheltered stuck up kid bullshyt, that from your comments.
I don't hear you actually enduring poverty as a cognitive adult.
There is no way anyone who endured poverty for real would say what you are saying.
Even if they were not educated.
I can't see someone being poor saying what you are saying.
So, have you been really through abject poverty as an actual responsible actual adult.
Who actually did everything not to be in poverty and excelled in a manner that poverty would be far fetched but a reality.
I live a life where I excelled and poverty is a real reality.
That I never asked to be put in, except I was saddled with poverty.
given the circumstance and bouts I have with real enemies who run these corporations that manipulate the strings.
Art Barr
My enemies are the darlings of the chamber of commerce.
Has a white person in power ever did anything actually to you, brazenly and defiantly?
Then showed you why you was a nikka, in America , for real to a white person.
If not, then I don't think you qualified to speak on poverty and try to demean someone who already achieved more than you.
Yet that person was forced into poverty and made it out on numerous occasions.
While, you never once endured.
or came back from poverty once as an adult.

The fact about poverty is no one can choose.
if they are born into or out of poverty.
You also need to know,...
You CAN NEVER DISPUTE A FACT.

There's literally no point in me arguing with an internet nikka about who grew up in the hood or not. Like what did I win? A fukked up childhood and resentment towards authority?so you the only nikka that grew up in the hood?
ok , youre special
You win, breh.
I want to start pro wrestling school. That is enough to get me in the door and then I'll be able to network and hustle from there

foreal , you gotta get it on the wrist or by yo left eye . real G shyt
I think I bought an 1/8 for $230 but that was a long time ago. I need to sleep now breh, got work in the morning.
I call bullshyt. My mom's dad made it from a sharecropping fam with no education. My maternal granny came from educated landowning fam and was a nurse. Eventually grandad out earned her working for the rail road. My paternal grandfather was disinherited from his fam and my father is as self made as they can get. These are black men no doubt. Poor people, like middle class Americans have shyt money management and lack of self control. Even if it is designer gear from Ross, who says it is needed. Also poor people try to help others and shyt family members when they need to pay themselves first and pool their resources trustworthy people. Also don't let minor setbacks deter you from your goals or lose hope. Too many immigrants come here with nothing and do well. Seen too many non English speaking peeps from barrios come up. I remember my stint in public school where the best dressed kids were the ones in lease housing/government housing. Used to get mad at my gear but my mom aptly told me that her and my dad were thinking about my future and paid mortgages and didn't have money to waste on Jordans. I can understand poor people being stuck in poverty due to illness/injury, medical bills etc but that's not most case. Also, stop having children while poor. A child can crystalize a situation and children follow the status of the parent.

RIP Fresh RIP Doe RIP Phat
I remember having this exact talk with my mom and dad
Told them I felt poor not having any Jordans and having to shop at thrift store, they scolded me and asked me where do all the kids that have Jordans and new clothes live, the shytty and dangerous apartments nearby, while we live in a house in a safer part of my area, "we're not poor"
14 year old me didn't take their words to heart though and soon I started thinking up schemes to get paid.
