Keeping people happy is driving me crazy.
Just bough after many, many years of resistance a cell phone.
I forgot and left it's box with instructions in my truck. This lil' thing is buzzing like crazy. I've asked it with futile frustration what DOOO you want? It's mocking me. LOL. One more buzz I'll take the battery out and shove it away in a drawer
It's a Samsung..I hear DC has an ap for that..

It's just a shame that so many people think that the world owes them a living. I personally think that if a person is able bodied, but can't find a job, then options should be made for them to work for the state, maybe at a community farm where the food from the farm is used to help those on who want to work, but can't find a job. Of course arrangements would need to be made for child care. If the person working in the field doesn't like the job, then they could train for a job they would like to work at.
The point is, if they work for their sustenance, they develop pride in their own ability, and that they are working for their living. And those trying to sponge off of the system, find that they may be working harder than if they were working at another kind of job. At the very least, the work could be temporary until a better job is found.
I wonder how many people would be on welfare if they had work presented to them as a requirement for assistance.

I would argue that a vast majority DON'T want to be poor and on welfare, it's a very small percentage that look at it as a career choice.
The system seems set up for dependence. If you are on assistance, getting a full time minimum wage job will often cause you to loose all or most of your benefits. A single person would find it near impossible to live on minimum wage, throw in a child and you are in trouble. So for many they don't see a way out, they could lose their subsidized apartment, their food allowance, health care and the few hundred they have for everything else. Add to that, a lot of people in this country don't have access to adequate public transportation, I live in a metro area, 5 miles from my job, if I needed to get to work without a car it would have to be a taxi or walk!
We need to help people help themselves and stop this new trend of demonizing the poor.

I get 250 hours of free texting. I still haven't learned it and have no desire to. I like the sound of a human voice.
I did not understand the concept or see any advantage in texting for several years and had no desire to text. I also thought they were mostly for teens to communicate with one another.
I text now, and it is a convenient way to send and receive quick messages without all the chit chat....
