I question whether DeBlasio even knows how to count.

Who stands to win? Corey Johnson and or any of the city council members (current) who will be term limited out in 2021 and thus are looking over their shoulders for next political gig.


OTOH if Big Bird does go along with this scheme he can add it to his long list of high cost but popular liberal/progressive achievements that while spending this city into the poor house are popular with people like *you*.

That’s bulls** and you know it. You care about who started it or you wouldn’t have
A) created a thread with a title ‘The Welfare State Grows Again’.
and B) you wouldn’t be fonting biased misinformation regarding Corey Johnson whom according to you, initiated the fair for fares program

You have a unhealthy hatred and disdain for the poor

So you're saying poor have a right to a family if working class people pay for all their things.

Is the opposite true?

Should the poor provide free nursing services, daycare, food preparation, and monetary assistance for the middle class?

With that said, this MetroCard idea is a good one. If the poor cant get to work, are the rich and the agents of the rich going to clean up aisles at wholefood when an organic sustainable, farm to table, fair trade, gluten free, vagina vegan, labeled in the Bronx, bottled in Brooklyn bottle of pasta sauce falls to the floor? Who's going to pick that up? Some Transplant with a degree for Stanford? No
LOL. It’s true though. The rich need the poor and vice versa. It’s always been that way.

Not only that, but whose going to do all of the grunge work the city depends on? Who is going to cook food, clean up places, or do service work in general.

I can't object to helping the working poor. When you are working minimum wage the monthly metrocard eats up a lot of your worked hours.

Over 32% of food stamp recipients work. (And remember, the whole population against which that's being compared includes the elderly, who are disproportionately poor, and the disabled.)

Apparently they are also entitled to live where ever they want too. On your dime.
