Do liquor stores have a lobby?

What could go wrong? Bus loads of homeless people from Texas. Most of them recent arrivals wishing they were headed to Martha's Vineyard.

I moved after 25 years. Wasn’t going to raise my Grandson in that Progressive hellhole. Disgusting how they’ve destroyed it.

I was so happy to move to Guam because that meant I wasn’t from New Jersey

$1000 a month isn’t going far and certainly not enough money to rent a place to live.
To: ChicagoConservative27
Giving a drug addict that kind of money is murder.

It will be used for drugs.
Or they will be robbed.

***President Gerald Ford had a scheme of giving unemployed people a $10,000 a year job****
Sounds like the old WPA(We Piddle Around as my grandma called it) from the 1930s.

Denver was a dangerous place to live when we lived there back in 1953.

If I'm understanding correctly, Denver has figured out how to end the homeless drug addict problem and budgeted $12K with a one year timeline per addict.
Maybe for once a government program will be completed within schedule and under budget. /s

Subsidize bums, get more bums.
Just a specific instance of "you get what you pay for".
