>>So say you, who hasn’t been “nudged” into public housing and socialist programs.
So says me. I’ve been so poor that I couldn’t afford more than peanut butter and mac and cheese. I downsized my life during those times. No one is “nudging” me into a life of dependency until I’m close enough to death that it doesn’t matter.
But, “nudge” or not, a person who can’t take care of their own basic needs has no business voting on how to run a nation. Sorry. That’s just common sense.
>>A Naval officer is just as dependent on the State as a crack ho living in a subsidized tenement.
Are you serious??
>>He just has work requirements, and better PR.
Oh. WORK. That isn’t a “just”. It is all the difference in the world. I was a Naval Petty Officer once. I got out with a high school diploma, no retirement, and come skills. I went to work. That’s not better PR. That’s a work ethic. Your crack ho needs to get that. Living on the dole is not the solution.
Everything serves the State, that crack ho and the Naval Officer. The money comes from the state you work for, or sit on your ass for. Both people are dependents, one has a work requirement to reach a level of higher compensation. Are you better than a 70 year old former construction worker, who is now living on the welfare of SS, Medicare and food stamps?
