lustylad please explain the logic of the Florida Governor's logic in giving out 450 dollars...

Do you understand what the Gini Coefficient measures?

Wider and wider inequality.

If you think the poor here got it good....you haven't transversed among them. Originally Posted by WTF

That said I agree with Jacuzzme and texassapper. I’ve “transversed” among the really poor in third world countries. And Americans, all Americans, are pretty well off.

Maybe you, taxassapoer and Jacuzzman can go live out on the streets for a year or two and report back to me.

Again, get a grip on reality. I clearly said DeSantis was right to give the money to the less fortunate with children, to offset child poverty.

american poor, compared to the poor of the world, are rich

but the children of the poor here do still suffer

and sometimes suffer mightily although your life as a poor kid is what you know and you deal with it and generally the effect on you isnt near what someone else looking in from the outside might imagine

He is offsetting inflation (his words) by giving away more free money.(his action).

What is so hard to understand?

the whole thing is part and parcel of the same dilemma we all find ourselves in, accept some small vote buying payoff, which yes adds to our sorry state, or not accept it when all others do knowing that not accepting it doesn't slow nor stop or have one tad of effect on our decline by doing so

so your multiple choice misdirection has no validity

all desantis is doing is aiding his citizens in the defined absolute state and environment in which he operates

Agreed. The person in my small high school graduating class who arguably did the best in life came from a dirt poor background. He had a single mother with 6 kids. That probably actually helped him later in life.

The reason I say “arguably” is because by some standards I did the best in my class. For example I’ve probably banged more hookers than anybody else. Originally Posted by Tiny

however the intelligence bell curve does slide a bit to the left for those in that environment

being a product of having nothing growing up, including no family, myself, i understand it all

as far as you banging more hookers than most, the one thing about that to me is that when you are with one, theres no job to be done to get to that position, theres not any requirement placed on you for that time, and its a freedom from responsibility...you dont have to do anything but be nice and if turns out that i'm the sucker in some situation, so be it

I agree with the whole post. And banging hookers isn’t an accomplishment. But hey, I’m scraping for some self esteem, something I’ve done better in this life than others (just kidding)

There I fixed your omission of Trumps responsibility for inflation.

So your excuse is "Everyone else is doing it...." thank you for your honesty valued poster.

I will answer your excuse for DeSantis by explaining that all charity is justified by those giving it.

That is/was not my point.

My slippery slope scenario is in fact pertinent.

We all could justify giving away free money to our favorite cause.

My point is that if you add all our justifiable charities together...and continually give them money to

1) Buy their vote

2) Adjust for the inflation that the first 3 money give aways you've already given them.

PS

When the fuck are you going to quit this poor poor pitiful me act?
