She Doesn’t Expect Anything, and Hasn’t Been Disappointed

By MICHAEL WILSON

There is a photograph taped to the front of a building on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea that gives pause to people walking by. It shows a smiling old woman holding a striped cat. But any warm feelings fade upon reading a handwritten sign below.

“Snap was found dead,” the sign explains. “He was starved to death. When found he was skin and bones.” And: “Teeth pulled out. Nails pulled out. Eyes removed.” The message ends: “His abuse is over.”

The sign mentions a reward, but gives no contact information. There appeared to be an older sign beneath, and on Wednesday night a visitor seeking to take a closer look tugged at the tape holding it up.

A voice softly called: “Stop. Stop.”

1. We can send banks $85 billion a month which they deposit in the Fed and collect

interest on to put in their pockets instead of loaning it out to create investments, and we can't provide a room with a pot of tea, maybe, for someone like this?

She might be one of those who likes it out there, but I bet not.

USA! USA! USA!

I don't know if my country can survive it's cancer.
