Wondering About Wasted Money And The Disability Housing Supplement

OK so the government funds a person to go all over Saskatchewan and take then post photos. This is to show how wonderful it is here. The reality that it looks exactly like several other provinces seems to be lost on them to say the least. The other problem is, education, health care and the disabled get to "hold the line" with cut backs and the lack of proper funding, while this person gets to play with a camera on the tax payers dime. This is literally a 1 year term dream job with about no point to it at all. Is there a wonder why the Sask government has managed to spend twice what they budget was supposed to be? Then to same money we must cut funding to the poorest and most vulnerable of the people in the province. This literally fills me with shame that I voted for these people. The biggest joke of them all being when the then social services minister said they would give budget training to the people who where effected by deep cuts to the SAID program. This after they spent twice what they where supposed to spend.

 Then after people like myself are forced into places like I am living now (under the Moose Jaw Housing Authority) they cut the Disability Housing Supplement because in places like this they only charge $363 for rent and that is all that SAID gives for rent. BTW the trigger point to get the $207 in subsidy for needing to be in a disabled friendly housing unit is $364. So tell me this is NOT planned. They give you $363 and the trigger point is $1 more than that. All the subsidised housing units in Sask will only charge the amount of rent that your Tier allows you (I am in Tier C and it's $363). In ever case the housing that we where driving into charges that $1 less than the trigger point.

 The big joke here is that they threaten to take away the Disability Housing Supplement if you do not move into lower rent housing. Being that unless it is subsidised housing like mine, there is no way in hell you are going to pay less rent than I was paying and be in a safe environment. Literally I was at the bottom of the pile paying $650 a month for a small one room apartment. I looked all over the city and in other cities as well (online that is) and the prices did not go any lower than where I was, so I moved in here after applying for housing. Then I called them as I was supposed to do after I moved and they laid this one on me. The kick is, if they charged $1 more then I would still get the $207. Being that the government sets what the Housing Authority can charge a SAID client for rent, this is a rigged system.

 So tell me how someone paying $1 out of pocket for rent needs the $207 more than I do? For that matter there are people who depended on that money for medication and medical supplies that are not covered. These unfortunate people have to take it out of the food budget instead now. This leaves them needing the food bank and eating food that is not all that great for their health. It almost seams that they are trying to cause us to decline in health some days. After all for a number of people on SAID this is exactly what will happen.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
