Koch-gobbling weirdo Rick Scott is about to sign a bill that would require welfare recipients to undergo routine drug testing. Better still, this new legislation makes the poor people pay for their own drug tests! (Do you need welfare money, for food? No sir, you need that money to pay for your drug test.) Anyway: "Recipients who test positive for drugs would lose their benefits for a year. If they fail a second time, they lose the benefits for three years. Parents who test positive must designate another adult to receive benefits on behalf of their children." Sounds legit. Just another assault on poor people that will go entirely unnoticed. Pass the hobo beans! (What hobo beans? Oh, you mean this delicious drug test? Yummy in the tummy.) [
What amazes me is that Scott can be such an insane prick <i>without</i> taking drugs. (Although maybe we should check his blood alcohol level...)
I understand what you are saying, and as I was doing dishes, I started to realize what I wrote was from educated white privilege perpective. Now that I see my comment from another angle, I kinda feel like an asshole. Just like the only Good WIll clothes for orphans law, this is going to make things shittier for people who already get the shit end of the stick.
Not only that, but (I no little about testing) how hard could it be to jigger the test so that they get a high failure rate? The missus pockets the $35 and the state kicks a person of welfare?
Yes to the offshoot of Plastic. TnT came into existence during the Great Plastic Blackout. It is now a libertarian paradise...sort of the Somalia of discussion sites.
Cinco de Mayo... an obscure, foreign holiday, that has become an excuse for drunk assholes to ruin my good time at my favorite local bodega. Also snark free.
Reformed Sunny or Sunny Reformed? Gobshite or Twelver Shite? So many sects to choose from!
Butt sects or GTFO
Thank you, and I definitely going to look up that book!
Dragon&#039;s teeth. How the fuck do they work?

You see though, that&#039;s the kind of drunken ridiculous that I can appreciate.
On UC and food stamps, who the fuck can afford drugs?
Urge to kill rising.

Clearly it&#039;s because they have more guns than we do. More guns = less killing, right?
I see what you did there!
the freedumbs to pay for our own state mandated drug tests.
You just described treesandthings.com.
