Picture this.
old OG hmong men and women are on SSI social security disabilities or retirement. That means they have all the time in the world to do something. Their money gets pumped into their bank account at the first of the month with is guaranteed income. This means they do not have to be in town to see their money being transferred.
They go missing for a few months to do them weed harvesting in boonie county.
Can you relate? When reading that story and seeing their age and with hmong names, it reminded me that it could of been your mama or papa at play here.
