This Republican mayor has an incredibly simple idea to help the homeless. And it seems to be working.
Does he give them a W-2 or a 1099? How many Worker’s Comp claims have they filed? Sexual harassment lawsuits? EEO complaints?
I’d bet that greedy lawyers are lining up to “help” these poor, exploited workers. Because that’s how modern America works.
Everyone wins. Nice.
We’re nearing the conclusion of 8 years of the Obama Presidency. All the seas have been lowered, there’s no crime, everybody has jobs from the stimulus package, and Michelle has us eating right. So why is there homelessness?
And the LIBTARD Mayor of, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan,’ PAUL SOGLIN (He’s the Wisconsin Recycled Hippie version of Jerry Moonbeam in CA!) is...
...Wait for it....
...Wait for it...
...FINING the local homeless panhandlers $100.00 each time the cops see them panhandling at major intersections around the city!
Wonder if I should send this idea on to Hizzonner? LOL! *SNORT* He’d have a hundred reasons why an honest, PRODUCTIVE way to spend your day at $9 an hour, a FREE LUNCH plus a hot and a cot at the end of it all could not possibly work out for our homeless grifters!
SUCH Liberal COMPASSION, that guy! *SPIT*
Socialism IS a Mental Disorder!
You can have your tens of thousands of NY City homeless clean-up the urine, feces, needles, vomit, litter and blood off of the streets of the Big Apple.
Win-win, right?
At some point in time, the Mayor will regret doing this as some Liberal will figure out how to screw this up.
The homeless will need benefits, uniforms, union cards and pay, etc etc.
With Libs, no good deed goes unpunished.
As long as the overnight accommodations aren’t a FEMA camp I think that’s awesome.
Public employee unions are going to sue.
Community Organizers will eventually accuse him of being a Hater.
Because Marxists like problems and hate solutions.
That’s how it’s done!
The dems never solve problems, they want to keep them around so that they can bandy them about come election time!.....
Good on the Mayor. By hiring day labourers, he avoids all the paperwork of ‘regular’ temporary employment.
There is in Calgary, a block near the downtown core, called ‘cash corner’. Some unemployed people, seeking temporary work until they can find full time work, arrive there at 6:00AM.
During the boom years, 40-50 people a day, would be hired for daily, ‘cash’ work, be it moving, manual labour, etc. Now, apparently, only a few get hired each day.
Apparently, back in the ‘40s, there used to be a government unemployment office located there. Those seeking work would check the boards inside the office and then leave. Eventually, it became known that there was a steady supply of day labourers available at that corner and potentially employers began looking for temp hires. Eventually the office moved to the new Federal building, but ‘cash corner’ remained and still remains. In a city of boom and bust, ‘cash corner’ works.
Amazing that WaPo identified this mayor as a Republican...
London may have a similar program. Street and building cleaners. City looks so much cleaner than years ago.
Beggars make a lot more than $9/hr.
Day jobs? But, but, John McCain says that the illegals do the yobs Americans don’t want to do.
Could it be that Juan McAmnesty is full of manure after all?
“They are given a lunch and provided overnight shelter as needed.” Who provides the lunch and shelter? If it is the city, it is a handout and a subsidy. Show me the bottom line; my guess the city is in the red for this.
In Switzerland there are people to wash the sidewalks and the street signs. I don’t think any street signs in Los Angeles have ever been cleaned except for graffiti removal. Switzerland looks so clean. There are so many homeless here. Definitely I’d be up for this kind of thing here.
Some of these buttwipes who stand at the freeway exit with their signs make more than I do.
Good. I have a homeless uncle, who’s always ready to work, even if it’s also the case that he quits jobs way too quickly. But when I’ve tried to help him out, the “jobs programs” that were available weren’t helpful to him really. This sounds like it would be.
