not to forget, the main purpose of those obama phones was so poor people who had no internet access could look for, apply for, and take calls saying ‘hi, you’re hired’. Now they’re used mostly to watch and record videos to try to get twitter clicks

My remark is perfectly relevant. Don’t agree? Refer to a dictionary.

The remark to which I replied was as follows: "Oakland launches guaranteed servitude to thy unwilling neighbor."

In response, I pointed out that the first sentence of the article states that the program is privately funded. It is therefore incorrect to speak of "servitude."

Regards,

Guaranteed: to make certain of, to undertake as surety for another person.

“Where the white poor folk at”? Any in Oakland or aren’t they allowed there?

Rep. Marxist, white-hater Maxine Waters (D-CA) political district though I understand that even she doesn’t live in the ‘hood with all her “Bros and sistas”.

Wonder how much graft money she’ll donate to the “cause”. Maybe a few used wigs and pig-repellant perfumes.

Taxation without representation.

An issue back in the day, rearing its head yet again.

AGAIN: The remark to which I replied was as follows: "Oakland launches guaranteed servitude to thy unwilling neighbor."

In response, I pointed out that the first sentence of the article states that the program is privately funded. It is therefore incorrect to speak of "servitude."

You then replied with:

Guaranteed: to make certain of, to undertake as surety for another person.

I had no problem with the word "guaranteed." Rather, as I have repeatedly said, it is a misnomer to characterize this voluntary, privately-funded program in Oakland as any form of "servitude" insofar as no one is being forced to provide funding.
