Horrible argument. You are smarter than this. Raising the minimum wage simply raises the price of everything, but it sounds good to the masses who have little to zero comprehension of how the economy works.
Why not ? If some one does it for a living its their " Profession " . There are a lot of things people do for a living that you and I don't agree with but there you are . Same as a Lawyer , Doctor , Used Car Salesman , etc. They are everywhere .
Those "profession" ones are at the end of the off ramp every morning and if you give them food they don't want it they want money. To them it is their profession and some can't work cause they just don't have any scruples. If you have a brain that works, their are a lot of unfilled jobs out there. Raising the min wage just made all the prices go up, ever get something from Mc D's it ain't no dollar menu anymore. this did not help no one. all the other prices went up so this effort did no good what so ever. Way out of this mess "Kill the Bill"
Wow. Those must be the ones sleeping on your couch then?! 3 examples out of the thousands on the street corners. Well you certainly convinced me ....
Yes Joe . Agreed ! But it bothered some SO MUCH they had to vent it . The solution is simple !! Don't give them any money .
What do you expect it IS the SAME people there at the corner day after day every year I have watched this for 3 years now at the same off ramp and it went on before covid. Maybe you got a point since don't we do the same thing to the people that are not/ don't want the vaccine? Right? What else do these homeless do? They build a tent shelter under the trees or the pines and the entire AREA is trashed with trash DON"T PICK UP SH** Then they come to our parking lot and bust the window out to steal your extra jacked in your car or your loose change. I caught a guy out there the other day casing the cars out and our area is fenced in so he wasn't just cutting thru. Yeah some need a lot of help and they are the ones that need help The rest will not take food, Money Only. I guess homeless are not hungry and believe me if they were really that homeless they would take food with open arms Didn't have no problem with that in the 20's 100 yrs ago if help with brain is needed. My grandfather used to feed people on the backporch from the house I still own a 100 yrs ago.
There is a reason the panhandlers won't take the food offered. If they did, people would never give them money and would continue to bring them food. They know that so they refuse the food. Anyone "homeless" that won't take the food is either not hungry, not homeless or is going to buy dope/booze.
“And not to mention those so called preachers that scam money from those that can least afford it while flying around in private jets and not paying any taxes . They are no better than the able bodied guys begging for money . They are ALL scammers !” The difference with these folks are they produce a product which people buy. They entertain people. They also employ people themselves. So I don’t think it’s an Apples to Apples comparison
They use Mind games to " Entertain " those that give them money by using FEAR to scare them into giving ! Such as if you don't contribute you will end up in a lake of fire ! More SCAMMERS I won't give a penny to . Hell I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire themselves !
This ain't current events. There was a time when BUICKS and the RELATED HOBBY were the dominant discussions around here. Now we jump to one social or pseudo political thread to the next.
If I find a thread that the content bothers me, or I have no interest in I don't follow or read it. Keeps me from getting angry or wasting time.
Lucas’ original post is current. You don’t have to play if you don’t want to but I’m sure you have a valuable opinion.
The sweet irony. Out in the real world, if I see something that I have no control over or have no interest in it, I ignore it. Keeps me from getting angry and wasting time.
got a point there I said it earlier grandfather feeding people. I think covid has finally made a mess of everything. I see it on the highway, very aggressive, get out of my way, 5 over the speed limit is not fast enough, got a car 2 feet behind my bumper on back rd and I am going 5 over the limit I am in no damn hurry. there is no take it easy anymore driving. everyone is mad with politics it's my way and no other way pretty much todays attitude. goes along with everyone is mad and I'm not gonna take it anymore.
