Hey guys,
I come to you today with a heavy heart. First, if you hadn't already heard, there was a horrific mass school shooting at a Florida high school yesterday.
Secondly, I have a personal political blog that I write on sometimes, and I have been uncovering all of this information about white farming families being brutally murdered in South Africa, and I just blew it off as potential bullocks, but had it pretty much confirmed to me yesterday by someone I know that lives there. The government deliberately does not keep records of these incidents and most have been blown off by the media as "robberies gone wrong". This is seriously something I need to cover in the future, but it was too much to talk about today.
Also, I found out yesterday that the Scottsdale PD is not moving me forward in their selection process. They said I have a fantastic interview, and that I scored in the top of those taking the written tests, but that in order to save time and money, they were only moving forward with those that had previous criminal justice experience. (IE already trained cops.) Considering this was what I was banking on to provide for my family and stabilize our insurance predicament, to say that I am devastated is an understatement. I keep at this path and all of the doors along the way continue to shut in my face, no matter how hard I try at it. Maybe it is just really time to give it up.
The majority of today's talk is the root cause of the seemingly ceaseless mass shootings. But I did manage to throw in some non-depressing discussion as well. This includes
SBD's slow but sure climb back up toward $7 and BTC's seemingly steady day around 10k
And the Steemian of the Day: user 
Well that does it for today Steemit! Be nice out there. It's a cruel world sometimes...
