There is no such thing as a “free program”. Maybe you aren’t paying. But somebody else somewhere is.
Probably cheaper in the long run than trying to convict them of ‘fare jumping’.
Of course the 20 or sos will figure it is free for them also....
Like the man once said
You will never know how much something costs until the government gives it to you free. (Or something like that)
Like many programs targeting “kids” today, American taxpayers are funding foreign kids. Here in NJ our massive public school program is a prime example of this, and it is driving employers and taxpayers out of the state. “Free lunch” in NYC is continued throughout the summers now - and trafficked foreign children are getting plenty of them.
One of the complaints about the tax breaks NYC offered Amazon is these areas riddled with parasites need hosts - not competing parasites siphoning off resources for their own services.
DC had to do something because no one uses the metro. How many more police will be needed for this bright idea. I won’t be going underground on a train with gangs of teens and the filth they leave behind.this will cause a total collapse of the system that is very shaky.
