Casino visitors eat up soup kitchen's resources

Outrageous!  Not one word about how these fine immigrants are enriching our culture immeasurably with their diversity.  The mulit (other) linguality, their multi (other) culturality offers so much for us. 

Personally, I think I just found a new way to make $2 a day to offset my flop house rent and get a free lunch to boot!

"...but this influx of casino patrons - mostly older recent immigrants from China - is bankrupting her, she said..."

What do you expect from the erstwhile denizens of a Bronze Age 'culture' that eats rats and dogs as it squats in its collective filth?

Confucius say: "Poor folk have poor way."

Identify the parasites and turn the bastards away at your door.

Next Problem!

Seems like and excellent way to lead these souls to Christ!

They need to get some Chinese speaking preachers.

[joesnuffy]

The soup kitchen should be getting a kick back from the casino

[AppyPappy]

Yup. I think they can afford it.

[big gray tabby]

The problem is not so much that they're Chinese, it's that they're old people. Old people can justify all kinds of penny-pinching and wheedling by claiming they're "on a fixed income" or that "Social Security isn't enough to get by on."

I hope I die a horrible death rather than resort to sponging off others in my dotage.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I too am sick of geezers whining about their fixed incomes and having to pay for prescriptions while they live in their paid for homes, and adequate savings. Meanwhile, they have their medical bills paid by me. At the same time, they're collecting SS far in excess of what they ever paid in. Then they want to pick my pocket again for prescriptions.

Eskimos had it right when they floated their geezers out.

Agreed! If the Lord sends lemons, make lemonade. In this case, orient (no pun intended) the ministry to the people who are showing up.

Indexing...

[Gary Boldwater]

You express what many think. Thank you.

Glad you aren't making decisions about MY old age (which is coming at me rapidly.) I hate cold weather!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Nah - you've always seemed the sort who paid his own way. Besides, we need old FReeper guys around to tell fun stories.

[toddst]

. . . we need old FReeper guys around to tell fun stories.

Hey, it works for me! Does this mean you aren't going to use a sharp stick to prod me onto that iceburg? Gee I hope so LOL!

Oh, and I DO have great stores - real life adventures! Been many places, done lots of stuff. What kind of stories do you like?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

The best stories feature third world adventures involving lots of weapons, dusty airstrips, exotic locales, and remarkably depraved young women.

[big gray tabby]

Or the ones about old people screaming and begging as they float out to sea, shivering and huddling their wrinkled cheap asses together for what little heat their cold black hearts can generate.

Cheery little stories, you know.

They have free dinners on Monday nights at a local church here in town but people don't go because they don't want to take advantage. We have a free thanksgiving dinner every year and not many people go to that either, unfortunately. We finally put on the posters that donations are accepted from those who wish to pay. We had a larger group attend last year. I'd go to the free dinner once in a while if my hubby would but mostly for fellowship and not because we need to. We had free sandwich and soup lunches at our church for a while but very few came. People aren't poor enough here, I guess. Our county IS one of the poorest in NY state but there are good outreaches for them, I'll say that much. How DO you turn anyone away without knowing whether or not they really are poor? You can't.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I like it - hopefully there will be some die hard union rabble rousers on those boats, along with some really loud widows, all of whom ran their children off by being rotten people. Now that they've run off friends and family, its up to us to take care of 'em?

[Marysecretary]

Actually, the geezers were polar bear meat, meant to sustain the next generation, after the polar bear was butchered, of course. Kinda gross...

[big gray tabby]

But the AARP says they're the "greatest generation!" Even though those geezers have been pushing up daisies for a while now, the codgers above ground are happy to act like they freed the camps.

I blame Hillary.

[big gray tabby]

Like soylent green one step removed.

My little town upstate has a state-owned ski area that supports a lot of families, even though it's only open in winter. A lot of folks draw SSI for being inbred window-lickers and the rest steal copper wire from burned-out resorts. Dickens could have done a lot with the material.
