Are Poor People Really People?

So, perhaps it's semantics. Let;s stop calling it welfare and call it jobs for everyone. The infrastructure is already there. Say we do away with welfare, so anyone who needs it has to move to Mississippi, where they are guaranteed a job. The pay doesn't all have to be low for every job, so there is incentive to do better. Say medical jobs are provided by recent grads who get tuition reimbursement for a two-4 year stint. If run properly, I bet in a few years they have the best maintained state in the country.

moving to mississippi doesn't sound like much of an incentive to do good imvho.. :D

But I don't see it as the new mantra for the uber-wealthy. Lol

Because I think frankly the uber wealthy don't give a shit either way. Doing what this guy suggests may raise there total net wealth by maybe 5 or 10 percent, and I suspect they could care less. This guy has an honest concern for society as a whole, whereas people like Donald Trump, don't.

You'll get no debate from me opposing his position.
It's just fucking logical.

So that's why politicians (U/R) will oppose it fundamentally.

I'm so lost that Onstar couldn't help me.

I could be right in front of my house and OnStar couldn't help find my way home. Fuck OnStar, fuck GM. I have two Chevys now, an Equinox and now a Tahoe, and I traded my fucking Lexus for it. Fuck GM, fuck OnStar, fuck Chevy.

I just went to the grocery store and down the aisle from me this large (size and number) family was taking up the entire aisle, eating food out of the boxes, bags, etc. I'm pretty conscientious about what I put in my body so I was reading the labels pretty thoroughly, when one of them started choking on something. She looked about 14, but who knows with all the shit kids shove in their face these days. Mom starts squeeling about "help her!" "help her!". I know first aid/CPR but I'm looking at them in their dirty rags and sizing up the cart full of frozen pizza, pop tarts, chips, cookies, case of Mt. Dew, and absent dad's case of PBR. Kids going blue pretty quick, and they're all jumping around like imbiciles, slapping her on the back. I decided not to help beacuse they look like they could use one less mouth to feed, and she was about birthng age, so she's one more welfare lifer off the taxpayer's payroll. Kinda felt like I was at the zoo, so I turned and went back the other way.

Is it just me?

You must not live where I do.
Just for fun I used their store locator, and the nearest is like 2 1/2 hours away.
Whole Day Shot for Getting Food would be an appropriate name.

Hope you are not stuck with Walmart for food. Had to shop there this summer while fishing (lots-of-bald-eagles part of the county). That was my second Walmart in my life. Still recovering.....

Pretty sure I would have pulled a Clayton there.

Come to think of it, I might just do the same at Whole Foods. I might look like I am helping that person who just wolfed down a sample of French cheese on a Swedish flatbread that got wedged in their esophagus, but I would most likely be going for the keys and wallet.

I went to a walmart last week for some kitty litter, a candle, graphite spray, bootlaces, and some camo cargo pants. I noticed a giant woman getting off her scooter to go into the rest room. She was about 400lbs. I got on her scooter and rode off, then parked where I could watch her face when she came out. When she waddled out, she looked around like maybe it rolled off a bit, and as she slowly (very slowly) realized it was gone, her face went from horrified, to mad, to dejected, to mad again. I took the Whoppers, frozen pizza rolls, red velvet frosting, Monistat7, and 12 pack of diet coke out of the basket and started towards her. As I got close I put my arm to my chest, curled my fingers, tilted my head, and stuck out my lower lip. I stared at her constantly as I passed by. She was more jealous that I had a scooter than smart enough to realize it was hers. I'm pretty sure she would have knocked me out of it if she thought she could.

I rolled around and kept an eye on her. She eventually made her way back to the front, and when she saw that there were no more scooters, she sat on a bench and waited for one. I took mine to the last row in lawn care (where nobody goes because they a. have no lawns, and b. it's Winter) and dropped it off.
