    “We got this poor person a free car~” stories are basically ALWAYS orphan crushing machine stories.

    Me: I’m so poor I literally couldn’t afford to have a single kid.

    Other poor people: Hmm, maybe 5 kids just isn’t enough?

      There is not any info about why she’s a single mother. Maybe her husband died or left her? Who knows? Maybe we shouldn’t fall into the trap of judging someone based on our assumptions?

      It is absolutely not a liability issue. Sale of a used car by someone who isn’t a dealer is as-is where-is at least in my state and I assume most others. They can even do like some districts do with their busses; they pull the batteries and say it can’t leave the property under its own power. So you get a tow truck to tow it 100ft down the road, chuck a battery in it and drive it away, then at that point you’ve “restored it” and anything wrong is something you missed.

    I’m amused that ppl are making fun of her.

    Crazy amount of kids will be the norm with Roe v Wade overturned. More moms on food stamps and govt program dependability

      Ever notice the correlation between poverty and low-quality education?
