Must be nice to be able to have free money for fresh food when most people who work can barley eat a fresh meal.

That's the problem nobody cares so it continues that's why things are the way they are now nobody cares let whoever do whatever and I won't care until it affects me but If you look at they way things are free handouts have done more harm then good. I'm not saying let them go hungry I'm saying they don't need cell phones they don't need candy and top of the line everything. While I work full time and struggle they sit back and collect and enjoy life it shouldn't work like that those who work get shit on while those who do nothing get rewarded.

You are right for sure they should be living a more conservative life and working towards their independence and a life off the support system.I have known many people in my life that have used the services for only long enough and then made great productive community members.I guess I don't know what is going on with these new generations. Not everyone included but the ones you speak of.I'm so sorry to make you feel I dong care because it doesn't affect me.I didn't mean to be like that. I do care.

fun fact: welfare payments are cheaper than real investment in rural areas. there's nothing in this town but part time work in retail or food services, selling drugs, or leeching student refund checks thru slum lording! TROOF.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Capricorn

You're under a lot of pressure today, which makes you rather tetchy and tense. Even so, you should try to channel your nervous energy in constructive directions because then you'll achieve a tremendous amount. If you'll be seeing someone you fancy from afar, there will be plenty of sparks flying between you. But what do they mean?
