Last night me and my boyfriend were in town after visiting a restaurant. We were heading back to the car park and were passing some empty streets that were pretty dark. Anyway as we were walking a shady looking guy I assume he was homeless or an addict popped out and was holding a knife he grabbed me by the arm and said give me your wallet if you know what’s good for her. And my boyfriend just turned around and ran.

He left me. I gave the guy my purse and he let me go but I was so scared what if he didn’t and he kidnapped me. I looked around for my boyfriend and he was nowhere to be seen and I found him back in the car park which was a 5minute walk from where we were mugged.

What’s It Like To Be Poor

whats it like to be poor

To be extremely poor feels debilitating. It’s as if your vision is limited by your circumstances clouding the view beyond the now.

It’s isolating and oftentimes hopeless.

It’s like an unprepared army of one, who, if equipped with the right tools (knowledge, strategy, preparation, support and resources) could overcome and achieve anything.

How Would Japan Have Fared in a Fight, Had the US Landed on Mainland Japan in WW2?

Japan would have lost, horribly.

And it would have been a blood bath for the invaders. I personally question how much of Japan or Japanese culture would have survived such an invasion.

If the US had landed in Kyushu as originally planned, they would have been fighting against about 1,000,000 well fortified troops; troops that were well dug in. The Japanese would have been heavily bombed and heavily shelled for months, and it still would have been hell for the invaders and death for the defenders. Just like the battle of Okinawa, the Japanese would have lost inflicting horrible casualties.

Building in Detroit being built from the top down, from a company called LIFTbuild

The main theoretical advantages are efficiency, safety and accessibility. It’s much easier, more efficient and arguably safer to build each module on the ground, then raise it into place versus having your iron workers, framers, etc. working at height.
