https://www.tiktok.com/@chriswithoutahellcat/video/7527834318496943390A man called out on social media for hurling a racial slur while standing in line for a ride at Knotts Berry Farm and then later getting into a fight has apparently lost his job with a Riverside County water district.
A video of the July 12 incident, widely circulated on TikTok and Instagram, shows the man, accompanied by a woman, calling a patron a (expletive) wetback after some kind of dispute. In another video recorded at Knotts, the same man appears to be involved in a physical altercation.
As a result of the incident, the man no longer works at the Eastern Municipal Water District in Perris.
EMWD is committed to guiding principles that include respect, integrity, accountability, and maintaining a safe environment for all employees, customers, and the communities we serve, the water district said in a statement Friday, July 25. We remain dedicated to our mission, vision, and guiding principles to provide safe, reliable services to our customers and ensuring that every individual is treated with dignity and respect.

And like minded will give him 100's of thousands.
Meanwhile, I can't afford dentures.
What a world.
We have people out there who could solve most of the country's issues with hunger and homelessness in a month, but they have to have another house and another car and another trip and another blah blah blah. D**k waving is more important than helping others, apparently.
And, I sit here with the same issue, except my 'roadblock' is that I need the rest of my teeth removed to get full dentures because this partial shiat is not worth a freak. BUT... my 'insurance' (always in quotes because of the truth) wants me to pay $130 per tooth to remove the rest. Well thanks, greedy-ass dental services, but I cannot afford that. So, I sit here looking like a an extra in the movie 'Deliverance' and people like that guy will get 'sympathy'.
To paraphrase another poster on here: am I dead yet?

(594 posts)They claim to offer interest-free healthcare credit as long as payments are made on time.
Not sure of their current reputation but many years ago an emergency vet clinic signed me up because of some expensive vet care one of my guys needed and they really were interest-free as long as I didn't miss any payments or pay late.

(6,235 posts)I'm also thinking about Humana starting in Feb. which would be a better insurance. About $30 month. Unless tRUMP sabotaged that as well. Cheers

(6,235 posts)I had all of mine until the extraction. My Dentist (Periodontist) is so wonderful! She said I had 3 infected teeth for god knows how long. Once they were gone and I healed a bit, I felt 20 years younger. Mouthcare really is a big deal and is completely overlooked by our society (esp. those f6cking rePUKES!!!). Very small % of people have perfect teeth. Best of luck to you and your health and your retirement!

(5,182 posts)I am getting 11 teeth pulled.
But have no resources for dentures.
Once I have the teeth pulled. I'm having my knee replaced.
My teeth are so bad they are worried about infection migrating from my mouth.
They told me it's happened before.
