is a facebook page. There's a post this morning that shows a sign with the Spotsylvania County Seal on it, attached to a sign post presumably at one of the local intersections that reads "For your safety and theirs, Please do not give to solicitors...... Support a local charity instead". I won't get into the asinine comments on the post right now.
What I want to know is who THE FUCK is responsible for that signage and how much did it cost the taxpayers to design, manufacture, and install those signs? As I recall, our sherrif is "woke" so it surely wasn't his department.

Hahaha! Have you seen the actual signs themselves?
They're tiny as hell and can't be read until you're at the light itself - a short person can easily block them with their head!
And actually it is the recommendation - don't give to panhandlers - give to a local charity that supports services for them instead. So the 'woke' sheriff could have installed them. Not that they're doing a damn bit of good - still see the same amount of panhandlers.
I will say that I'm torn on them - some of them probably are making bank and scamming people I'm sure. But assuming that's true, it's one hell of a way to make a living and I don't see many people wanting to do it.
Is Spotsy talk as bad as the WOS?

There are absolutely scammers out there. I already posted about the ones out there pretending to play violin... saw one last spring in front of the dance/gymnastics place on 3 next to Tractor supply, and about the ones with signs saying their kid (with a picture of a kid) died and they need money for funeral/to bury them. To me both are completely unacceptable but one is just downright vile.
Then there are others living in the woods in cardboard boxes and tarps, and the folks above make life that much tougher for them.
Spotsy Talk is 90% about "Need some to fix my dish washer ... who do you reccommned?" and Merchant Monday where there they have 900 posts of advertisements for people that fix dish washers. And everything else under the sun. I was a member of WOS years ago for like a week before I had enough of that nonsense. Spotsy Talk's politics are usually a bit tamer, but I did post a reply to someone earlier today and I quote "Fuck your Feelings". It just so happens that person was expressing his hurt feelings about his taxes paying for student loans, and in his fb profile picture guess what was printed on his shirt? Haven't heard back yet.

Oh the violin folks and the children scum are 100% scammers. But you rarely if ever see them in the median. Are the dishwasher people following up with comments about how they were ripped off, but won't name the person who they hired? That was always the great part about NextDoor. Well, that and the people who wanted to either call 911 or flat out shoot anyone who so much as looked at their yard. So many idiots. What was on that dude's shirt? I can't even begin to guess....
