Both NY and CA already have millions and millions of people living on a “basic universal income” - which includes “free” housing, ObamaPhones, public education,. food, and cash benefits. Basically they have already voted in support of this.

While many FReepers rightfully cheer policies that create jobs and the opportunities that arise from decent, steady employment, they don’t seem to understand that these concepts are meaningless (if not downright insulting) to many people who have no intention of ever working a day in their lives - and will never contribute anything while consuming much. The Amazon HQ2 debacle in Queens is a great example of this; rather than cheer job opportunities in an area that needs them, the parasites instead focus on the fact that the company can’t be squeezed for more free sh!t for them.

You might want to tone down. The poster is from NY. Easy to check before including him in your wrath.

Yes!

Finland has discovered that masters are happier when they have slaves.

What a concept.

If you think that’s toned up, you don’t know me :)

And you are quite a sensitive fellow.

And why would I care where he’s from?

It would have no effect on my response.

MYOB is great advice to you :)

Posting on a public thread makes it anyone’s business.

Just you seemed to come down on the poster in particular, assuming poster was from a red southern state. At least, the writing made it seem so with “you” and so on, and that was after poster commented about New York so definitely seemed to be defensive.

I’m not a “fellow”, either. Again, check the bios and you might know something before you type. ;-)
