    LOL Dodgers for striking out looking on the same exact pitch, two batters in a row.

    mp170.6 reacted to disarcina in Tim Mead's final day as a Halo   
    Victor and Guby just had a nice farewell interview with Tim Mead.
    This is his final games with the Halos organization as he flies to the East Coast later this week to take over his new duties at the HOF in Cooperstown,
    He spent some 40 years or so with the Halos.
    They need a special Administrative wing  Halos HOF plaque for him.  Has anyone been with the organization longer in any capacity than him?  Maybe a peanut vendor or something,
    Godspeed Tim Mead, best to you at the HOF.  The Halos will now share him with Baseball history.
    He sure was a friend to AngelsWin.Com

    For the most part, yes. (Not just hobos, though).
    Essentially, the majority of them do commit low level crimes pretty often. Things like trespassing, pissing in public, public intoxication. Things like that. Community caretaking crimes, not "big deal" stuff.
    The next group is the daily customers. Mainly stealing and fighting. And dope. Literally every one of them has a pipe or needle on them. 
    So if we arrest them, its usually a ticket (cite and release). If they make their appearance in homeless court, its usually dismissed as a "thanks for showing up". If they dont, they get a warrant.
    When we take them for warrants, we have to take all their crap... this is a far bigger deal than it sounds like. Inventory for the typical hobo cart and backpack usually takes an hour (plus the hour at jail booking). So you tie up the cop for about 3 hours for the warrant they get released on the next morning...
    And you do it weekly for the same faces.
    If you get them with dope, its an arrest (ticket). If they OD, its no crime, just medical aid call.
    The last group are the real bad guys. Guys who should be locked up, but are out on parole. Lots of gangsters. They prey on the other hobos.
    I dont put the mental health, or the down on their luck crowd in the last category, and not a huge chunk of the second. Most real schizophrenic homeless you only see at night. Like raccoons, they hide somewhere in the day, come out at night and dig in the trash. They dont like being around people.
    And the reality is, theres nowhere to "put them". There are virtually no mental health facilities. We 5150 every hour... unless you literally tried suicide, the 72 hour hold is usually more like 3 at the ER...released with a doctors appointment a few days later.

    This.
    And something that a lot of people dont know. A good chunk of our hobos arent locals. Theyre from other states. Theyre here because they know the laws are so laxed. Plus the weather.
    If youre a homeless addict, would you prefer cold and rain (outside of this year) and going to jail for possession? Or beach climate, and a ticket you dont have to pay?
    When we relaxed laws a few years back everyone applauded because of the savings. We pay for it in other ways now.

    Without knowing the amount of your combined student loans, check this out. 
    She gets a job, and after a year or so, you guys are able to invest $15,000 in mutual funds.  Leave it alone for 30 years and assume 8% return, you'll have yourself $150,939.  It's really that simple.  Me personally, I would focus on getting some money invested instead of paying off the loan debt.  You'll be far better off in the long term.

    You can never assume anything.  That said over any 30 year period of the S&P500 returns are roughly 10% annualized when dividends are reinvested.  This even includes the flat period from 1966-1981.  That means roughly ever 7 years a lump sum invested would double.  Obviously one year it could be up 10%, down 20% year 2, flat year 3, etc. but historically 10% annualized returns have been the case.  You can invest in an S&P500 index fund for a fee as low as 0.0004 a year or $4 for every $10,000 invested.  Doing so would give you investments in companies across multiple industries who operate all over the world which means it's diversified.  There's nothing to do except put money in over the years and watch it grow.
