    it does not take $5000 in gasoline to exit Texas. In fact, you could probably make it to Portland Oregon on a third of that. I realize that is significantly more than $19, But since you live in your home, you can do it a step at a time

      Getting to Portland would run about $2,000 in diesel. I didn’t look it up just now, but that’s been on the list for a while, as my college roommate lives with his dad across the river. That’s scarcely the only cost, and then the job search still relies on networking, so it’s tuna and bologna sandwiches (separately, of course). I’d not look forward to I-5 in this anyway.

      You’re being patronizing and unnecessarily contrarian, so I’m going to disengage.

        Your college roommate and his father live in Vancouver? So, you would not be entirely alone in a new city? That sounds like a good solution.

        Perhaps you should get a job, let them garnish The maximum 25% by federal law and save up $2000. Ironically it seems like Texas might have laws in place preventing anyone from garnishing you.

          You’re spending an awful lot of time coming up with as many excuses as possible for why someone’s direct experience must be wrong and therefore ignored. This is incredibly selfish. All in defense of being an antagonistic asshole to people based wholly on their geographic location, at that.

          Maybe you ought to spend some time looking at yourself instead. Would do the world a lot more good than your current strategy of being condescending to homeless people.
