I wanted to explain my response to another thread without derailing it https://www.scrapmetalforum.com/off-...al-ss-era.html.
This is the second time I have tried this type of scrapping. I live about 45 miles from a community of 20,000 and this is the closet stop light to my home. Last year during the community clean up I took an individual with me and loaded up my "tub trailer" one I built from an old stock trailer, and gave that individual all of the proceeds. It was about $ 500 and the individual that benefited was "challenged." Today I did the same thing and will not know the value until tomorrow. I will be doing the same thing the rest of the week. Please understand that I am financially secure and just repaying my debt to society and the earth.
Some members on the forum might be Catholic and give a tith of their income to the church. I am not very religious, but very spiritual and all of the above is provided as a preface to my next statements.
While out doing the rounds I ran across several groups that could not speak English. The assumption that they were illegal immigrants came to my mind until I returned home and did some research. Did you realize you could take the naturalization test in Spanish? To tie this together, I am competing to help a US citizen down on their luck with illegal imagrants. To add insult to injury, this is in the heartland of our country. Adminstration may decide to remove this thread because it not politically correct, but I am tired of being politically correct.
