Politicians are always announcing measures to do things like “saving the world.” Promising to do impossible things. And gullible people believe them. In Denver, Mayor Hickenlooper is providing prepaid cell phones to indigents and unemployables in the “homeless community” so they’ll have phone numbers for potential employers to call them back and give them jobs. What “hizzonor” forgets is that most of those people are unemployable for one reason or another; some are mentally ill; others are just lazy and don’t WANT to work at anything; then there are those who are just too dirty and won’t clean up. Many look down on jobs at convenience stores and fast-food outfits (which are plentiful). They’d rather stand on corners 14 hours a day in all kinds of weather holding their signs, begging. They don’t “look down” on that. One man once came up to me and asked for money. I told him I never give money to people begging on the street. Then I got this smart-alek answer: “Would you give it to me if I were in a car?” Most of these people think they are “too good” to work (Just common sense)
