I learned something horrible tonight about Providence.
90% of our housing subsidies go to rich white people. Approximate age 25-35, who move here from New Hampshire and Vermont, that live downtown or on the West Side. They are often unemployed and living off of trust funds yet filing for aid.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's official. Hipsters are ruining the city. You bitch about "welfare queens" and such, and you don't bitch about the fact that the real "welfare queens" are the snooty rich trustafarian fucktards feigning poverty because they can. You don't bitch about subsidies we pay to oil or corn, but the minute the money goes anywhere near the rich white people, you don't care. What about us poor people? We get nothing. Because: Hipsters.

END THE HIPSTER.

90% seems hard to believe! What's your source?

We had guest speakers tonight in class, 2 state politicians. One a former secretary of state, one a former deputy secretary of state. Both served on the general assembly and city council. This is par for the course around here, actually. I'm surprised it's not 90% "non allocated" which means that it's going into someone's pocket. Just like last year when they "lost" the film tax credits that were supposed to help cover the money that Curt Schilling stole from the state.

They do not fix anything in Providence or RI as a whole unless money goes into someone's pocket. The last person who did that was Buddy Cianci, and he went to jail for 3 years after turning this cesspit of a city into a glistening East Coast gem...and maybe took a little on the side. Then Cicilline took over, broke contracts with civil service, allowed Brown and RISD to buy empty buildings, sucking tax dollars from the city, and then re-allocated money to better suit what he wanted: upscale housing to "attract" Bostonians....At Bostonian prices. Bubble burst, Providence, the "Renaissance City" goes back into the Dark Ages. Universities buy MORE of these "upscale housing" buildings and turn them into dorms, and what's left of that money goes into the "gentrification" of the West Side. Basically, paying white people to move into brown areas. Which is prime real estate for those trustafarian grads from Ivy League schools looking to live the "starving artist" lifestyle in an "up and coming area."

Meanwhile, it appears that 10% leftover is going into some form of Section 8, and maybe the projects. Maybe, apparently nobody is sure.

Providence.

I think I see the problem.

Providence.

I love you Suu. Even if this is somewhat accurate. The description made my day.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Want to cut housing subsidies in liberal city.

Claim all the money is going to White hipsters/trustafarians.

Angry liberals are now on board.

[Suu]

At least I'm sure Arizona doesn't give IOU's for unemployment. (Though I'm sure there's some other win going on for you guys.)

Bottom line is, the money is going SOMEWHERE, but not where it SHOULD be going.  Not that this should really surprise anyone in this city, but nobody seems to want to do anything to find it.

[Suu]

Oh, and 10 out of 11 of our high schools have failing grades, so they decided to cut gym and fill the swimming pools with cement. but that I knew from the news.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Congratulations.  Tea Party headquarters are somewhere on Federal Hill.

Probably the cigar shop on Atwells. It used to be the old illegal OTB place they shut down, then reopened down the street, then shut down again.

Seriously, all this guest lecture we had tonight did was make me fucking mad at first, and then I laughed. I laughed so fucking hard, Roger, because IT'S FUNNY. All of it. America, Rhode Island, Providence, Tucson. It's a big fucking joke.

You're also accepting data from politicians, who almost never have an agenda.

[Suu]

You know what bothers me about this the most? Is that I knew all this. Of course I did. I didn't turn a blind eye to it, because well, you can't. Corruption is everywhere. Some say it's a part of our "charm." However, there's no reason why I almost laughed til I fell out of my seat in a 100 level class other than for whatever reason, it finally hit my funny bone. Talk about a delayed reaction.

but, I did also have a shitty day, so who knows.

One did actually ask for money for his non-profit and passed out cards. 

My professor was also former general assembly, but like he said last week, "I ran screaming from that shit 15 years ago and became a middle school teacher, because it's easier dealing with 12 year olds than 50 year old babies."

You listened to politicians, and you still believe what they told you.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Which, of course, was the idea when they packaged the information in the first place.

There's no point slapping welfare folks around in Providence, so they just redirect it at trustafarians...With the same end in mind.  You think they want to fix everything and give you the money?  No.  They want to cancel or cut back the program, and hand the filthy lucre to all the right people.

Have you verified this information?  Have you gone to your state government's pages and LOOKED FOR YOURSELF?

Because this is EXACTLY Reagan's "Welfare Queens" thing in a funny dress.  VERBATIM.

I have no idea wtf to believe anymore. I knew taking political science was going to drive me up the wall more than my religion class. I need to sit down tomorrow after a real substantial subject, like Latin, and see if I can find more info about the housing issue.

Personally, I don't think they want people living in Providence anymore. Our buildings are crumbling, businesses are being driven out, and even the universities are cutting back. My guess is that they realized they can make more money razing it and making a huge parking lot for Boston.
