Man Compacted Inside Texas Garbage Truck

AP: The man was conscious when he was seen being rescued after the garbage truck driver called 911 to report someone was yelling for help from inside the trash truck. Triangle Waste owner Donovan Weldon said the driver had been picking up commercial waste and the man, believed to be homeless, apparently had been sleeping in a bin.

This only happened because of global warming. Why else would this poor man be speeping in that bin.

I blame the Democrats because they taxed this man so much he had to live in a garbage can.

I think we need a Housing Affordability act, with a strong government option. If people can’t afford a home, the government should purchase one. In fact, everyone must purchase a home or risk being fined or jailed…

Not a hard bill to write, just take the Pelosi bill and scratch out Health Care and substitute Housing…
