Exactly my point. The democrats excel at passing unintelligent, unpopular and unenforceable laws and then clamoring for stricter laws when the original law fails to ‘fix the problem’. The innocent must be punished for the allowing crime to exist.

Nobody qixqatl but it’s not the poor who are going to suffer it’s the next rank up, the working class. The Left always says they support the working class but all their works and deeds fall hardest on them. That is why I’m no longer a Dem. I got tired of feeling the pain, plus I had kids. I got tired of not being able to look my kids in the eye when I came home from work. And that is the worst thing I can say about the MF Democrats. They will make you ashamed you voted for them.

Who’s surprised that the democrats have made a crime of something (poverty) that they don’t like?

A large chunk of the people who are going to be hit by this are Union members. I find it funny that they supported the passage of Obamacare they supported O’bama re-election and now they are just beginning to figure out that they’re the ones who will be paying the price.

I have a small amount of knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry, toxins, psychiatric pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, and nervous system malfunctions.
.
We only have one brain, as opposed to tending to have two hands, ten fingers and the like. Chemically speaking, the brain can be rather more delicate than many people appreciate.
.
As such, using certain substances recreationally is akin to sticking one’s hand in a blender for kicks. Or sometimes it is more like blending your own testicles.
.
My intuition is that some substances, often considered harmless by Democrats and many future politicians, fit said criteria.
.
These substances have experimentally verified effects impairing judgment. My intuition, again, suggests that there are also effects on mental functions that I think might be pretty difficult to measure.
.
I haven’t the sleep for more than druggies do stupid sometimes suicidal things; greater self preservation should not be expected from drug addled politicians and drug addled voters.
.
Democrats will be Democrats.

Because, y’know, people only love a glitch when it’s in their favor and this isn’t .. and it’s also classic Hollywood-fantasy-wish-think.

Umm, Robin?

They *are* free riders. They may be forgiven for not realizing it because they don’t look at how much (little) they pay in income tax.. but they are subsidized already.

My company didn’t subsidize family rates a few years back (since changed) and I would have had to pay $1,400 a month to get family coverage through the group plan. So I went through the private market on my own, got blue cross blue shield with a $1,000 deductible for about $300 a month. But then we are young and healthy.

No, I’m thinking of the slightly more lethal glitch in Robocop: “You call that a GLITCH?!?!”

They’re calling it a “glitch.”
.
Now cue Office Space: “We fixed the glitch so it will work itself out naturally.”

These are the same poor saps that Obamacare was supposedly passed to help. Now they’re being characterized as free-riders.

Well of *course* it’s based on individual rates! Everybody knows poor people don’t get married!
