So half the country is underpaid, corps offer no pensions, and a lot of older people have trouble making ends meet. They should tax the millionaires and up to pay for it. We must share the prosperity to take care of our needy. Jesus would approve. Last Edited by Uncle Gintel on 06/20/2021 03:29 PM |

We used to make laws as if they would be on us until hippies. Now hypocrites write bogus laws taking advantage because they aren't really fit to rule, they are just sure of their great wisdom. Your kind has a vanity fetish for "most modern" and "most enlightened" and seem to spend your generations getting more miserable. Though infected, we are not that far along.

In this case, she deserves the extra. Quoting: GA Girl Teachers are paid quite well considering they only work for half a year. No they aren't. They also only get off for a few months during which they don't get paid. Who told you they get paid when they aren't working? Well I guess they should have chosen another career. They knew what the pay was when hired. They should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get a second job. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77224219 United States 06/20/2021 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Imad Mohammad is a balding, 36-year old immigrant man from Somalia. According to his 2020 Federal income tax filing, he grossed $29,112 from mostly odd jobs, but this doesn't include the $117,502 that Mohammad made by selling low-grade crystal meth, fentanyl, and khat, the Somali stimulant of choice grown in makeshift greenhouses put together in abandoned houses and using stolen electricity. Mohammad certainly isn’t destitute, although he frequently draws unemployment and welfare checks. But for a year he’ll be receiving $500 per month in no-strings-attached payments as part of an experimental universal basic income program in upstate New York. For Mohammad, it’s a welcome financial boost that helped him pay for fertilizer and growing lamps that he needed to grow kaht. “It is money that is on the record so I can buy the things I need without getting into trouble with the IRS,” said Mohammad, who lives in the village of Ellenville with his "retired" husband, a former drug lord from Mogadishu who still helps Mohammad on the side with New York's booming gay community, where khat has recently become popular after the recent influx of Somali immigrants. “People think because you’ve been working with illegal drugs and male prostitution for so many years, that you make this tremendous amount of money. That's true, actually, but I have to be careful how I spend my money.” |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76891723 United States 06/20/2021 04:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to apnews.com (secure)] Quoting: Don Draper from Nantucket Annette Steele isn’t destitute or unemployed. But for a year she’ll be receiving $500 per month in no-strings-attached payments as part of an experimental universal basic income program in upstate New York. Places from Compton, California, to Richmond, Virginia, are trying out guaranteed income programs, which gained more attention after the pandemic idled millions of workers. Steele, a special education school aide, is getting her payments through a program in Ulster County, which covers parts of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River Valley. During the pilot program, funded by private donations, 100 county residents making less than $46,900 annually will get $500 a month for a year. The income threshold was based on 80% of the county’s average median income, meaning it includes both the poor and a slice of the middle class — people who face financial stress but might not ordinarily qualify for government aid based on income. For researchers, the pilot could give them a fuller picture of what happens when a range of people are sent payments that guarantee a basic living. For Steele, 57, it’s a welcome financial boost that helped her pay for car insurance and groceries. “It lessens my bills,” said Steele, who lives in the village of Ellenville with her retired husband. “People think because you’ve been working so many years, that you make this tremendous amount of money. But no, actually.” Awesome. I'll take it. Remember when we were kids and daddy said, "my house, my rules." And "as long as I PAY THE BILLS, you will follow MY RULES." When the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT decides to pay your bills, then they will be the ones to decide the direction of your life....they may decide where you live, what you can or cannot purchase...will they be paying for your health insurance and groceries???? Then they may have a say about what you eat and how you conduct yourself in your personal life. No such thing as a free lunch....dad was right. |
