Just wait until reparations hit. Oh, boy.

[ponygirl]

Well that tech CEO ‘s future is done.

[Bayard]

Drunks will take the free booze and then go buy more to get drunk. Worthless program.

[monkeyshine]

Wait, they actually do this? These people are insane.

“Inside the lobby, they had a kegs set up to taps where they were basically giving out free beer to the homeless who’ve been identified with [alcohol use disorder],” he wrote. “It’s set up so people in the program just walk in and grab a beer, and then another one. All day.”

Man travels from 2024 to 1968.
“All the people are getting ready for civil war. Students are protesting and locking arms on college campuses and blocking bridges and freeway ramps. College buildings are being occupied.”
Listener: Sure, like now. You aren’t from the future. You’re a fraud.
Time traveler: “And marijuana is legal is legal in 38 of 50 states for medical use and 24 states for recreational use.
And made into multicolored gummy candies. Stores compete for deals to get customers.”
“And free booze is handed out to homeless alcoholics.”
“Homosexual marriage was upheld by the US Supreme Court. The actor who played Sulu on Star Trek married a man.”
Listener: You’re just nuts. It’s fun to dream, though.

Friggen homeless are so lucky.

Free alcohol to the homeless? What makes them so special? How about free internet to the homeless (and don't forget free laptops so they use that internet), tech companies and everyone else. While you are at it, why not free food to everyone, and free cars, yachts and free hookers, just the logical conclusion to your socialist insanity.

[technically right]

Well, that settles it. Much as I hate to contemplate the thought, it may be time to move to SF. That would save me a good 5 grand a year in booze.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

They couldn’t give me all the Top Shelf Booze in the WORLD to move to San Fran.

Ghirardelli Chocolate? I MIGHT reconsider. ;)

[Chode]

free booze free dope free welfare free phone free money freeshitarmy...

[dfwgator]

Well they have to do something with all that Bud Light.

[Organic Panic]

And I’ve been buying the good stuff all this time?

[webheart]

It’s probably the cheapest brand, Popov or Safeway Select. I don’t think there’s a Sam’s Choice brand of vodka. They get a little buzz but end up with a headache.

Diana…..the light side has chocolate too. I have Teuscher champagne truffles!

I’m pretty sure that if Clarence “Frogman” Henry were still around, he would’ve put it in the song.

That’s Commiefornia for you.

nurses dispense “controlled doses” of vodka and beer to street people at specific times of the day.

Nurses? SF must have run out of social workers.

[drypowder]

Yeah, that’ll do it. Who’s the moron that thought of throwing gas on the fire to put it out? My goodness, can anybody really be that stupid? Corruption always wins.
