I’ve seen a few flocks out and about! I wonder if they are less out and about right before chicks hatch (which would be around now)?

Being mentally ill is not a character flaw and in those under the perpetual cruelty of poverty will resort to self medicating or immediate material gratification. Money management is difficult for even the competent and in the wealthy it is forgiven more readily.

Society’s fundamental responsibility to itself is to manufacture happy, healthy people. It is wisdom to educate, clothe and house one’s fellow man. After all, what is the use of government or an army’s might to protect goods above people. People make things better with incentive of purpose and self worth.

If the social system is failing, abandonment of its most vulnerable citizens will only increase society’s burdens, not eliminate it. Empathy is a great investment, even if only to avoid creating the self fulfilling prophecy of creating ‘bad’ people.

The problem is that no one wants to hire someone with a criminal record. I don’t have a problem with the program, but would prefer if the state program just hire them even as basic manual labor jobs. College graduates have problems getting hire from lack of experience. How is someone suppose to get hired when they have a criminal record and 5+ years of nothing on a resume especially if they only finished high school

The DOT has strict regulations for how work zones should be marked. If you feel like a work zone has come up unexpectedly, it's very possible that the contractor is violating these regulations. If/when it happens to you again I would genuinely recommend calling the DOT to report what you see.
