I love love your website. I'm adding you to my tiny little blog I started.
On Black Friday of 2008 I started dumpster diving. Continue to go out nightly. The amount of food and other products that I've found would blow your mind.
Tons and tons of perfectly good food is being thrown out while Americans are hurting. The stuff I find I give to myself and my other neighbors who are hurting financially. Many of my neighbors are either on unemployment OR their benefits have run out and they have nothing left.
That's where I come in. I find it morally reprehensible that these corporations continue to get away with their callous greed and disregard of the American people, the SAME people who bought stuff (cheap plastic crap made in China) and put money in their coffers.
About the only thing I buy now is gasoline for my car and meat, period. I've retrieved meat out of the dumpster but I only take the pre-cooked stuff that is cold and just been thrown out. I will sometimes go to the grocery store with my one friend who is still a spender. Food prices have went up people and they're going up, but wages haven't.
It was only a matter of time before the economy collapsed. It's common sense. You cannot have an economy when people have no money to buy food and shelter. If you outsource jobs overseas to save money (and it's odd they're paying third world wages but the prices haven't went down).
There are plenty of empty houses in my neighborhood (the McMansions) that were built in 2005/06. They're still empty. The owners place their cars there and the lights are on timers to make it look like someone lives there. They're not fooling me, I know the truth.
Why couldn't we place the working poor who have lost their homes in those houses? We could let them work off the rent by picking up litter (the pop cans and bottles could be resold at the local recycling center), weatherizing homes for seniors and providing meals on wheels for seniors and homeless vets.
That would make too much common sense.
Then you get the stores who have locked dumpsters. That alone makes me irate. Locked dumpsters. You'd rather throw that stuff in the trash (perfectly good stuff) rather than give it away. Complete soulless theiving bastards.
