+ 2 Gear Bums

ad

This is going to be a place for sources to go to post members who are asking via PM and or Email for free gear. Or if you are a member that's aware or becomes aware of members asking for hand outs post them here..ALSO..if a source doesn't want to list the names of members..put the most bizarre/funniest excuses why people say they need free gear

This isn't for people asking for PROMOS..this is for people down right trying to bum free gear

The main purpose here is to try and stop or at least slow down Bums asking for free gear from sources... A side effect of that is us making fun of them..it's not OUR fault... don't be a bum..and you don't have to worry about it

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS POST AND THINK ITS "MEAN".. THEN NEG IT AND MOVE ON.

Get a roommate...

$31,00 annually is not poverty. That is the income poverty level for a family of five.
They would not pay taxes and would qualify for government assistance.

The poverty income level for an individual is $12,490

Median rent for 1-bedroom apartment in the US is: $1,234.43
Average Rent for a 1-BR in WA state is: $845
Average Rent for a 1-BR in NY state is: $886
Average Rent for a 1-BR in CA state is: $1,136 (for a studio: $994)
Approximately one Third of your income should go for rent. In this case that's $860.

That’s what I’m talking about disproportionate though.

The average rent in Seattle, WA is $2,122.
The average rent in New York City, NY is $3,519.
The average rent in Los Angeles, CA is $2,556.

It would be nearly impossible to live in one of those places alone earning $15 hourly.

impossible to live in one of those places alone

the 1-br rent was a baseline to illustrate affordability. There are also rooms for rent, studio apartments, and short commutes via public transport

When is it your right to live alone? If you want to live in the city alone, do what it takes. If you need or want to live in the area, commute from where you can afford to live.

You are not impoverished if you need a roommate or two.

That ratio is disproportionate though.

31,000 in New York City is way different than 31,000 is bumfuck Idaho...

Get a studio, get a room mate (or 6 like I had too), or move to an affordable area.

Face it, sometimes a snowflake will have to compromise. If they want to live in NYC; work for it and stop bitching.

Point being, 31k is not poverty.
