And, McHill..... you want me to read what I just wrote.....
That our economy is going great guns, and you want to disrupt corporate activities. It aint broke, why fix it?
I just bought a new MacBook Air today from Apple. If you keep messing around, there could be major upheaval the next time I buy a computer

@averagejoe1 saidnot silly stuff like have Biden give millions to the arts, or hearing aids, such as that.
I am writing to liberals. In 3 words, yall “want the money”. You cannot deny it. You, but not I , would gladly have your hands out for UBI, for instance. You cannot deny it.
So, in plain 5th grade grammar for simplicity, I am simply feeding into lib philosophy that you demand to get money from rich people. Isnt this how you would do it.?
(Are you boys aware that ...[text shortened]... lly,...... not silly stuff like have Biden give millions to the arts, or hearing aids, such as that.
Dear Joe - President Biden has no authority to give taxpayer money to the arts, or hearing aids to anyone. Congress alone has the "power of the purse" not the President.
In addition to basic writing skills, you might consider a class in basic civics as well. 🙄

Selfishness is a personality flaw. It's NOT a 'good thing'.

@suzianne saidWhat do you mean by selfishness. I made $132 on my shift at McDonalds today. Technically, when i put the money in my pocket, I think i qualified as selfish at that moment.. Why, i was heading home to my piggy bank.

Oh sure, send your poor, extremely nearsighted countrymen out to busy intersections to beg for change in the hope that they might be able to afford a visit to an optometrist and maybe also get a new pair of glasses.
Might as well leave us outside to die of exposure in the winter. Sorry for being such a burden on the "America" you are so proud of.

Who gave you that idea? The extreme Social Darwinist @Kevcvs57?
Optometrist? What about the tire dealer down the street. If they need new tires, will it come to that? I am not being funny here. You folks never stop with wanting free stuff.

@averagejoe1 saidI was in fact responding to your OP, which I took to be a reaction to the US Congress either passing or proposing a Medicare expansion to cover free eyeglasses and hearing aids for senior citizens (i.e., 65 years of age and older).

Or were you unaware of the context of your own post when you started this thread?

@averagejoe1 saidDo you have personal problems? I would think someone with a legal and academic career, plus agricultural revenue, would not have to work at McDonald's to make ends meet.

Or do you have money in the bank and you're taking a job from someone else who could really use it?

@kevin-eleven saidYall dance around and make jokes a lot. But you wont admit to accepting and promoting getting free stuff, you cant deny that you would take a few thousand dollars each month from the govt. i think you give it cute name, UBI.

Would someone invite you to their home for dinner or to their daughter’s wedding if you were such a person? Living on handouts. I guess i cant blame you for evading the issue with cute comments, cause, after all, its free. If yall are so unselfish, like Suzianne, tell us how you have been giving your free money to the poor.

And your problem is not understanding humans. You PROJECT what your republican programmers have plugged into you and the bit with NO don't raise min wage, they will just use the money to buy drugs, booze and party.
Which is a bunch of republican BULLSHYTE.
STOP LYING.

@sonhouse saidActually I have not seen where the extra wage would be used in that manner. The real reasons were good ones, though.

And in all threads, no one ever explained living wage. We all gave up. I couldn’t splain it myself,

@AverageJoe1

@averagejoe1 saidIf "your side" (and I'm not as binary a thinker as you seem to be) can muster the votes to do things differently, then "our side" will just have to grit our teeth and deal with it, just as you should be doing now. 😉
