Shawn's picture in moar randomness required me to post this you tube video.

I am not certain if it can be fixed outside of taking a cold hard stand and refusing all recipients. But I know that would start another round of race riots in the cities.

In Wisconsin I was told that in order to get state help, you'll have to prove you are looking for work.

Here in IL one of the people who was campaigning to be our state rep told us of documented cases of children living in IN and other places that were receiving IL benefits. Mainly because the mothers knew IL paid better than IN did. From what I gather, a family member or friend would allow them to use their address in Chicago to sign up. Then get the check to them when it came in the mail. He also said their were multiple cases of the state mailing the "kid's check" to addresses out of state. WTF? If they can't figure out that these kids don't even live here and are not this state's responsibility how can we ever get this under control?

EDIT- I know I know, Dakota thinks because some one was whipped and beaten as a slave 200 years ago I got to pay for every one of his decedents to sit around drink and F* what ever moves for the rest of their lives.

Just because you're applying somewhere doesn't mean you're trying to get a job. Unfortunately there's no practical way to prove whether someone is actively trying to get a job, or just milking the system by putting in the bare minimum effort.

I have changed my answer from no to sure. Go get your insurance producers license and we will talk some more. I have to wonder if they list us as a no or not.

Get a job.

If the jobs suck, then you oughta consider offing yourself.

You don't deserve your aspirations, you have to earn them. Life sucks like that, when it's fair.

cull the herd, I say.

I'll make a deal with you dipshits - for every welfare case you string up, I get to behead a trust fund baby. Before long we won't have any problems. Oh wait...

This thread can go in the shitpot anytime.

On the other hand the welfare rats have gone out of their way to suckle from the Federal Trough.

Trust Babies are taking from their family funds. welfare rats are stealing from everyone.

beast (now) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (4h) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (4h) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (4h) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (4h) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
