i don't know what the limit is, but its like 10k or something. but its like...free housing, free food, plus you get free money and make money. it ends up being like a high school kid that makes lots of money and lives with their parents...not a ton of money, but zero bills so they buy whatever the fuck they want
 
throw all poor people into forced labor camps. when they die, throw their bodies into an incinerator and capture the heat for energy.
 
outsourcing it to the private sector could prove cost effective, especially considering the potential drop in corruption and exploitation
 
The katina colony (tan roof) accross the street. I could not afford to live there before the Katrina Colony moved in. I live across the street and pay abotu $400 less for a1-bedroom. Lots of donks, crim, prostitution is new, and about once per month the trash combs the neighboring apartments and robs every car in the complex.

This was a very nice part of town when I moved here 2-years ago. Then the Katrina Colony moved in...and now I'm getting a bus-stop in the front of my complex to hopefully shuttle more trash in and out of my neighborhood.
 
Didn't some OTer post about how he cheated the food stamp system so that he could get the government to pay for his groceries when he was in college?
 
And all day long I hear commercials to get on it from the government.

They purchased 75 time slots per day on 10 stations JUST in my local area

Yeah, as a suburban kid that moved into the city for my first year of college nearby, I was surprised that Cabrini was so close to all that shiny, expensive housing and retailers.
 
Our point is that many of us have no problem helping someone in THAT situation. Even if the system is 80% honest users and 20% abusers, that still infuriates me. I wish there were a "tip line" that you could use to turn in people who are milking the system.
 
Someone post an infographic showing how welfare distribution is overwhelmingly skewed towards the South, then we'll watch OT southern crew blame it on blacks!
 
Assuming that people do consistently get away with shit like that, from a utilitarian perspective I'd rather have the person creating value in the system scamming it that someone that creates negative value.
 
It's probably desirable if regular people are willing to spend a lot on it.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
