One month a year (at least) SSI checks should be replaced by a plainly-worded brochure explaining where babies come from.
There are entire towns that revolve around SSI. The first of the month is like Christmas at the post office. In an incredible numerical coincidence, all these single mothers have children with ADHD or whatever else a doctor will sign off on simply to get her out of his office.
I went skating on the first Friday night of the
month in 2001. My first clue that something was
amiss was a parking lot full of armed security. I
purchased my ticket and walked inside. Whoa! The
skating rink was wall to wall black people. Hard to
walk through the crowd, no hope of actually
skating. The admission office gave me a rain check.
I asked security what was going on. The answer?
It’s “mom’s night”. The welfare checks come on
the first of the month. The welfare moms dump
their kids at the rink on the first Friday night. The
following Friday night was normal. The regular
group of black skaters (about 30) were present.
Lesson learned. No visits on first Friday nights.
