Cry me a “give me money” river... Liberal scum with no use to society.

At some point, this whole mess the democrats are creating is going to collapse and it’s going to get really, really ugly.

A LOT of people are used to Uncle Sugar hand out and they won’t be there any more and they don’t or won’t have the skills needed to survive.

We have a great place in the country and have a garden and I know how to grow and preserve food but still do not think we could survive Little House style if push came to shove.

Unequal Black woman lacks the innate ability to exist within the failing LA society.

I’d say it’s not a case of contracting intestinal parasites but becoming one.

Imagine a world where billions of people get to pursue their dreams—of being “social justice artists”...

while living in mud huts—because nobody can remember any other method of construction....

Lol.

[metmom]

Yup, we will own nothing and be happy (you peons, because we know what's best for us er... you)

A thousand bucks in LA may last a week without housing and transportation.

Addicts can now afford to buy new needles instead of reusing old needles.

I’m sure the Santa Monica Daily Press searched high and low to find ONE of the recipients who had a barely successful result. They failed badly. The program must be in a shambles of alcohol, drugs, and homelessness for a million bucks a month waste.

A year and a half into the program, Kahlia’s business isn’t off the ground yet. But she’s made some progress. The program funds have given her time, she said. Normally she’d be stuck in a cycle of teaching guitar lessons to make money, but wouldn’t have time for her business.

Better extend the program to 20 years.

I went to your home page and saw many things I’d completely forgotten about on FR...thanks for some memory joggers.

Golden Age science fiction writers often predicted that once machines ran everything, common men would be liberated from the drudgery of work. They would be free to cultivate their previously untapped talents, unleashing an explosion in art, music, philosophy, literature, etc.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellas with compassion and vision

We'll be clean, when their work is done
We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young

What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free

a modern woodie Guthrie. remember friends...woodie Guthrie was a dyed in the wool socialist. betting she is too.

What the world needs now, is another folk singer, like I need a hole in my head.

FTA: "The lab found, in general, that food and groceries are the top way participants are spending money, making up 35% of the funds spent. Retail sales and services are a close second at 31%."

Let's see, I walk into a local convenience store in Compton and get paid .65 cents on the dollar in cash to let them use my card for actual food and groceries, then I take that cash and go buy drugs and alcohol...but the system says I spent XX amount on food, groceries, and retail sales.

AIN'T SOCIALIST LIFE GREAT?!?!

And NO funds were used on drugs or alcohol, according to THEIR RECORDS! It looks like all 1000 of these people just used this benevolence to improve their lot in life...euphoric living is only a free $1000 away for all people! LOL!

If the animals are accustomed to being fed, you’d better keep it up. Otherwise they will come and take what they want.
