    ‘The Twilight Zone’: The 5 Creepiest Summer Stories

    Adam Lance Garcia
    Producer, Yahoo Entertainment
    Superfan TVJuly 4, 2017

    Picture, if you will, a day celebrating the birth of a nation. A country known as America. For some this holiday means parades, a day at the beach with the family, barbecue cook-offs, and, of course, fireworks displays.

    But for others this holiday means something else. For them, it is a day spent away from the summer heat, hunkered down inside watching a television show nearly 60 years old. For them, July Fourth is a day for a marathon of…The Twilight Zone.

    And for those, we present this video listing the five creepiest summertime episodes. From the all-time classic of “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” to the lesser-known “The Midnight Sun,” we hope to give you a sweltering glimpse of the strange fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.

    There’s a signpost up ahead — and it says Syfy’s The Twilight Zone marathon will begin at midnight ET/PT on July 4.

    Carson plan would raise rent for millions in public housing

    Roger: The problem is not welfare, it is the availability of good jobs and the ever increasing cost of health care, and how our politicians will not address those issues. As recently as 1980 62% of jobs were considered middle class positions, and many did not require a college degree. Today 44% of jobs fall into that category, and more of them require a degree. ..... For example in 1980 most big retail stores used 65% full time employees with benefits, today they use 90% part timers with no benefits. The main reason so many companies have been using more and more part time employees, temporary employees, and 1099 contractors is the ever increasing cost of group health insurance..... Also in 1980 having a high school diploma meant a person could read write and so simple math. Today a HS diploma does not carry much weight, so HR people now require a degree for positions that used to be done by HS graduates.. I believe most people still use welfare as a last resort, that unfortunately becomes a long term solution
