People like you—you don’t know or care about anyone. There’s this man--in North Dakota--in a blizzard hunting for jobs with thousands of other people. He’s 63 and still fighting. He was overseas for the last five years working for the military, just got back from Iraq. He knew that a job – a good job that could provide security – might be available in the oilfields in North Dakota. So he hugged his wife, said goodbye and left to get a good-paying job. And he’s living in his car—in Mega-Mart. He says that one nice thing about living in a parking lot is that you can change your neighbors when you want. And I don’t want to go home and change my neighbors
