I'm thinking that people can't afford to leave. After all, it takes money to move, so the underclass just remains stuck.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-45909656061453376702008-05-23T01:23:00.000-04:002008-05-23T01:23:00.000-04:00What a sobering statistic!!

But our target clients are people who were sick and could not afford to feed themselves.<BR/><BR/>It's always odd to me why people continue to live in NYC when the cost of living is so high. But then I heard we have some of the best welfare systems in the country.Ming the Mercilesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957918533010735599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-65852141066173735522008-05-22T21:04:00.000-04:002008-05-22T21:04:00.000-04:00Hi FredrikI see loads and loads of European touris...Hi Fredrik<BR/>I see loads and loads of European tourists on the streets right now. I bet they just go shopping.<BR/><BR/>I guess that's the thing with a world economy - for every country that's thriving, there are many not doing so well.<BR/><BR/>Hi Tammy<BR/>Unfortunately, the article was not clear about where the statistic came from. We can only hope that children have parents or guardians who are looking out for them. It's so sad.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Jamjar<BR/>I have a tough time eating fruit, so the photo is kind of funny to me. But I do enjoy how they look.<BR/><BR/>Hi Sonia<BR/>These stats make you think a bit and appreciate what you have. They also encourage you to give back to society.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mab<BR/>I wish there were easy answers. It's complicated, isn't it? The article said the lunches they serve provide enough calories to support an adult for a day.<BR/><BR/>But that's just a lunch, just the tippy top of a huge mountain. What about the rest, I have to wonder.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Dana!<BR/><BR/>Hi Mike<BR/>I have a soft spot for bagels, too, and have to prevent myself from binging on them, lol. I love everything and egg ones the most.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-64190457324985872642008-05-22T20:45:00.000-04:002008-05-22T20:45:00.000-04:00Hello again!
