"Skeptics say the concept could be counterproductive when implemented on a larger scale. Others warn that it could be an incentive for people not to work."

You think?

To help people afford to live in Atlanta? If they can't afford to live there, they should move on. Living in any given place is not a human right. Being able to afford it is what makes it okay to live there.

Boy, they keep pushing more and more socialist/communist agendas don't they?

Hopefully the people paying the taxes that pay for this largesse will have enough heartburn over this leftism to complain to the right people but somehow I doubt it.

My Pop-pop used to tell me to clean up my crumbs...other wise you could attract ants and roaches.

...as long as there are crumbs, there will be ants and roaches.

I'm all for helping those in need. Single mothers, working a regular job to support herself and maybe a child.. and that sort of thing. What I'm not on board with is handing out our hard earned tax dollars to those that don't even try. They are watching too much TV, where they see people gaming the system and figure why should I get off of this couch, take a much needed shower and go to work where a boss will tell me what to do. This is a general perception, and my apologies to those that are caught up in the system, created by the left to keep you down.



Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

I see similar statements made all the time, the one thing I never see is the reference to which study they are citing.

I used to volunteer at a food bank. I quit after watching so many lazy ass fat people pull up in expensive vehicles loading their cars with free groceries. I never actually saw anyone hungry there. I'm sure there were legitimate people there to help feed themselves, but I never saw any. All I saw were true blue freeloaders. The whole thing seemed more like a shit operation to me.

There's a reason we call her Mayor Rock Bottoms.
