55. Let's be honest, he's a great writer

He knows how to elicit sympathy. “Emergency” “mom is starving” “we have no bed to sleep in”.

If this was the first time seeing one of his posts, you would be inclined to give him money. What’s the big deal about giving him five dollars. Won’t hurt me and maybe it will help him.

That’s what he counts on. He knows that anyone who has seen any of his previous posts knows his claims are dubious at best. We know that if he had started working at his local grocery store two weeks ago, even using uber as transportation, he would have $300 right now. He knows the state will get a job for him. He knows all of this. But face it, it’s far easier to sit in front of a screen playing a game than it is to work. Just a fact.

The anxiety medicine he now claims to take, just to post on the internet, is certainly a new claim. Wonder how he managed to travel to THAT doctor. Certainly, not on foot, since he lives on the most dangerous road in PA.

He claims someone here on DU always “helps” him with money. It’s about time he’ll claim that, delete the post, until the next time.
