I have been thinking this very same thing. You go on welfare for a certain period of time with no effect, but after your allotted time runs out, yuo have to be sterkilized to continue receving welfare benefits.
And if you agree to be sterilized, I can possibly see even giving them a free college education or extra social security benefits or health insurance benefits.
You could literally wipe poverty out in a generation.
It’s not stupidity - quite the contrary - it is greedy and power hungry people who care not for their country nor their fellow man (nor even their long term future which will be naught due to the law of unintended consequences)who have destroyed us from within.
Sadly, we will reap what they have sown for we have failed to stop them in our inertia, our compassion, our short sightenedness....whatever the combination may be.
It is beyond maddening how bills seem to crop up around every corner as the liberals try to control or stop everything that moves.
Step back a moment....Why? Why make it 150 feet instead of 300? What prompted this increase in footage?
Why not reduce it to 125? How many accidenst at 125 feet if any? we need a lot more to go on before making a decision....
Any concrete proof? any increase in accidents, any damages, any actual documented increase in the number of complaints from neighbors? (I know you are thinking, this is a logical thought process and they do operate using such thinking).
But what if we could systematically begin demanding evidence of a reason to do this, and until such irrefutable proof could be presented (probably does not exist), we would have to collect and study at a minimum say, 10 years of data in order to validate any study and make a decision based on comparing hard proof over the years...and even then we would have to define what how many complaints are a significant number etc etc etc
How can anyone just give into to their requests without questioning the reasons and asking WHY etc etc ?
