Why I love small town life

I love it when you go to the local gas station that has a hole in the wall restaurant, you know everybody and everybody that is there. You get caught up on the small town gossip like who has left, which boy is being a nuisance in the town. You can talk to anybody in there because you lived in the town so much and grew up in it that everybody knows your name. Also, you can walk in there and when you go up to order they generally say the usual because you've gone so much that they know what you are going to order. When you walk into the gas station they are generally playing good ol' music because most of the folks that go there listen to country music.

You can walk anywhere in the town because people drive like they got common sense. Another thing iI like about small town life is everybody helps one another through the hard times, everybody is willing to go to the extra mile to help one out either that be with mechanics, helping on the farm or just being their for support.

Then there is the local church where everybody goes too. Everybody gathers to hear the good lords message than afterwords you go home play a pick up game of football, and have a damn good Sunday super comprised of chicken, corn, and other good stuff. You then go out for your Sunday drive which everybody who does not come from a small town does not like Sunday drivers becasue they go slow and those people are in a hurry.

Small Town Life is Better Than CITY LIFE

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
