The growing epidemic of homelessness affected Dallas. According to estimates, 14,000 homeless were on the streets in the year of 1986 with 40 to 60 percent of them having mental problems (November 23, 1986). On a typical day, 4,000 homeless have to compete for only 1,400 shelter beds (November 27, 1986). Thousands of others are on the verge of being homeless by being a rent check away from losing their homes. The government of Dallas became frugal with their spending due to funding.
In the latter years of production, the Model T was available for as little as $260.00. Inflation adjusted for today, the price of a Model T was approximately $3,400.00. This allowed much of the population of the United States to buy a brand new car that they could depend on for thousands of miles. In addition to making the Model T affordable to the majority of Americans, Ford also increased the means of his workers to buy the car that they built. Henry Ford instituted a forty-hour workweek, with the minimum salary being five dollars per day.

40% of the population is under the poverty line, this is over 3 times than USA which has 12%. The lack of resources makes life harder to gain money too; the land is in little quantity and of poor quality. There are incredibly high crime rates in Mexico, especially in the capital. In the last five years 47,500 people have been killed in crimes relating to drugs. Homicide rates are around 10-14 per 100,000 people (world average 10.9 per 100,000).
Lack bed space, most non-Mexican illegal immigrants apprehended are released and directed to return for a court appearance. However, 75 percent fail to show. Last year, only 30,000 of the 160,000 non-Mexicans caught coming across our Southwest border were sent home. Addressing this problem, the President has signed legislation increasing the number of beds in detention facilities by more than 10 percent over the next year. IV.
The price for the barrels averaged at a high of $105 in the first week of May and the price of a gallon in Houston was at a decreasing $3.74 from $3.89 about three weeks ago. The test of economics relating to the cost of resources versus the product isn’t sufficient because even at the highest peak in a month for crude oil, prices were still falling per gallon which leads to the other factor, the number of sellers/ suppliers. Every under construction site lately has been the input of a new gas station. This supports the slow falling price as the market widens with new competition. In the Cypress/Katy area there have been over ten new stations

Maintaining a car, is just a important as taking care of yourself. It was the day after my birthday and I had just passed my driving test and was on my way to get a new used car with my dad. I had been looking for quite a while for trucks, when I came across this standout, it seemed to be a good deal in the paper, so I showed it to my dad, he did some research called the listing number and spoke to the man and seat up a place to view the truck. It was a hot summer day in August when we were driving east to meet the man with the truck. It was a 99 ford f-150 that I had found in the local auto trader, it was exactly what I was looking for.
Reflection Paper (The Drought) By Anon The state of California is going through one of the worst droughts ever recorded in the past 100 years(California’s Drought). It’s no surprise that with the lack of rain we have had in the past two years, water reservoirs are reaching an all-time low. They are constantly working in overtime trying to provide the residents of California with the water needed to sustain their households. Although we are putting pressure on our water reservoirs, it’s still not enough to get us by anymore and the government has also asked that people cut back on water usage. It’s sad to think that the state of California has already had a couple of cities run out of water.
