This is why, by using our service, you are helping thousands of people to feed themselves and their families. An average worker makes about $100 per month, which is a very good salary in developing countries like India, Pakistan, and Vietnam, among others. With your help, they now have a choice between working in toxic factory conditions or on a computer.&#39;</p>

<p>I actually really love this sign because it&#39;s having work with at least five conflicting interests. 1) limited parking space 2) a busy business district 3) a church 4) a commuter rail station into Chicago 5) a city-wide overnight parking ban. </p><p>My wife and I usually refer to it as the barely legal parking spot. Most people see the sign, freak out, and and steer clear.</p>
