While I never did it, in EVERY neighborhood in which I ever lived in Chicago, there would have been worse things to do.

Home invasions have been a "thing" in inner city Chicago AT LEAST since I was in grammar school. I'm 60.

That's a luxury some of us don't have.

Two jobs ago, I was supposed to work 3:00pm to 11:00pm. Instead, due to the incompetence and dishonesty of the contracting company for which I worked, it was often 3:00pm to 3:00am (no overtime despite being an hourly worker). It was the worst job I've ever had, and at that time I was lucky to have it.

Sometimes you have the choice of working late hours or being homeless.
