A homeless San Francisco man said during an interview with author Michael Shellenberger that the city pays him to be homeless and boasted about having a cell phone with Amazon Prime and Netflix in a video posted Wednesday to Twitter.
“If you’re gonna be homeless, it’s pretty xxxxx easy here” the homeless man, named James, said to Shellenberger during their interview. “I mean if we’re gonna be realistic, they pay you to be homeless here” he continued.
“When you said that San Francisco pays people to be homeless, what did you mean by that? Did you mean that literally?” Shellenberger asked.
“I get $620 a month, dude,” James replied.
Shellenberger pressed James on how hard it was to receive general public assistance.
“A xxxxx phone call, bro. A xxxxx phone call. $200 food stamps and $620 cash every month. Forget about it. Why wouldn’t I do it, you know? It’s xxxxx free money, dude. This right now is literally by choice. Literally by choice. Like, why would I want to pay rent? I’m not doing sxxx. I got a xxxxx cell phone that I have Amazon Prime and Netflix on,” James replied.

I was once jogging around Washington Square Park in NYC when an alarm clock went off. A homeless vagrant woke up and got out of his sleeping bag.
Who is John Galt?
Free weed, iphone, netflix, tiny cubicle to live in, earn your coins by watching videos and playing games on the free phone, get approved food delivered by Amazon drone, and you’ll be happy.
America’s progressive governments NEED bankruptcy/insolvency. There is NO hope for change otherwise.
It will come eventually. The job of conservatives should be to prepare Americans for it - and help it arrive.
i think the rest of the country should ship all the homeless to San Fransicko. It’s the humane thing to do.
He has no address but is registered to vote.
The democRat bums are voting themselves the treasury.
The max amount is about 620 a month. Had no idea
+food stamps and paid for I-phone. Pretty sweet deal. Not like a job with amazon at $15/hr. Higher where cost of living is higher. Which is just about everywhere. I just read the median home price in our area is now $600k. NOT in caulifournia either.
In addition to the cash, Netflix & Amazon Prime, Homeless James can walk into any store take whatever he likes, as often as he wants. He can also kill/injure anyone he doesn’t like. Talk about being Easy Street!
I would think an alarm clock would be the last thing he would have!
What was the wake up call for?
The American People are being manipulated by some extremely dangerous people. The USA is being primed for conquest. Some of us know what's going on. The rest will understand only when it's too late.
The army of this Enemy will be the instrument to deliver the final coup de grâce to the USA when she has been made sufficiently vulnerable.
Until then, there will be no open hostilities. The American People will be duped into believing that the Enemy is benign, peace seeking, and their friend.
However secret agents will already have separated America from her allies and conducted a variety of clandestine activities against her. They are already at work in America. They have been for a long time. The Enemy is encouraged by their astonishing successes.
Among the missions of these secret agents are the spreading of false rumors and misleading information, the corruption and subversion of officials, the creation and exacerbation of internal discord, and nurturing Fifth Columns.
False rumors and misleading information are already spread throughout America and the world all through each day. The American news media, academic institutions, private US citizens, corrupted politicians and other government agents, either wittingly or without understanding how they are being used, spread this propaganda.
Officials at all levels of government in America have already been corrupted.
Internal discord has already destabilized America and confused the American People. The depth and extent of this have shocked the world.
Millions of Americans, either wittingly or without understanding how they are being used, are serving already as a Fifth Column, condemning the USA, encouraging her destruction, attacking all her most venerable institutions, corrupting government officials and their agents, sabotaging her economy, praising all attacks on her, and undermining the American Dream.
Spies at all levels are constantly ascertaining, for the Enemy, the condition of the USA and the American People. On their reports, plans for a final, ultimate, victorious conquest of the USA and the American People are being made.
A victorious enemy army will attack only when the USA and the American People are sufficiently demoralized and already defeated and victory is assured. It is then that the Americans who have been oblivious to what's going on will awaken to a horrifying reality.
To conquer America as nearly intact as possible is the objective.
The prerequisite to victory is to make proper preparations within America so that victory will already have been decided when the Americans wake up to reality and realize what's been going on.
This strategy for triumph has been known for many centuries. It still works. It's straight out of Sun Tzu: The Art of War
However millions of Americans are too confused, too deep in denial, too brainwashed, or too stupid to see the obvious when it is right before them.
We will all pay a heavy price for this folly.
LOL
And the middle class and working class are terrorists? SMH
I admit I was a little surprised, but if you’re a vagrant who collects cans for deposit redemption, you’d probably want to get to the trash before everyone else. Or maybe he had a job, who knows?
Where does he plug in his devices?
In my first job out of college, I was walking along after work and there was a guy with a whole set up panhandling on street. On his cell phone. This was several years before I had a cell phone. He verbally tried to get me to contribute to his fund. While still on his cell. I said, “I don’t have a cell phone, maybe you should be giving me money.”
On the other hand, it’s freezing cold in San Francisco, especially at night.
Pretty good analogy of why we don’t feed bears…
