1. If you are poor enough, smart phones are nearly free, thanks to another of those programs started by Obama. 2. Ain't enough jobs left due to automation for the idiots to get them. Do you really want another idiot in your department, despite the ones you already have?
Time being trained to learn how to punch in one's pin #......And there are always idiots mystified by the schedule (enough that "running out of benefits at the end of the month" is a real thing).
I do not understand how the two above comments are opposed in any way. It's perfectly possible, actually preferred, to not work an honest job to be a business person. Business people make money off of the people working honest jobs.
It is amazing how many businesses have been started in the last 20 years since EBT and unemployment started encouraging people to become small businessmen while on the program.
I don't think it was on purpose- but there's a reason there was a malaria epidemic in the Oregon territory in 1830, at a time when very few of the natives had ever visited the tropics.
Is to show how this not just reduces time for the EBT customers, but can reduce headcount in government call centers by reducing the need for customer service. I don't understand why techies have never figured out that government and business have similar goals.

Except, real science isn't. Only fake science with cherry picked data and assumptions.
Do you have tires on your car? With perhaps tire pressure sensors broadcasting an id to anybody who is listening on the side of the road?
I'm still waiting, but potentially automated speed traps are possible with this tech.
Yep. That is kind of the point, isn't it?
Which is why Trump was elected to drain the swamp
Largely because they died of starvation in the 1930s, before food stamps were available.
Haven't you ever read Grapes of Wrath?
"Free enough" if you're one of the crony capitalists writing the regulations to keep your competition out of the market, maybe.
Given her grasp of basic sexuality and gender, I'm pretty sure Governor Kate Brown is on something.....
Customer service should be the name of the game for everybody.
Huh? $130 one time payment, $30 a month afterwards. What part of this math do you NOT understand?
I wonder where he's shopping. I'm a foodie, not on food stamps, and I can't afford that with a food budget of $800 a month.
Funny, it is happening withing my lifetime. Where do you live, that economy of scale doesn't work?
Most of what was described IS temporary. You push welfare people back into school to get them off welfare, not to keep them on.

Yep. Because they're selling it totally wrong.

There is no true free market anymore, if there ever was one.
Uh, not really. White people were the customers. Islamics are the ones who made the money off the slave trade- and still are in sub-Sahara Africa.
Identity politics is racism. Erase identity from the social constructs, and you will erase racism permanently.

Me too. Does anybody have a link to a simplified list of proposals? There's nothing specific on their website, only a bunch of liberal insanity.

Exactly this. "ever recorded" is also under 200 years in a planet that has been around for 2 billion.
Yes it is, but I'm not the one who defined wealth by usefulness.
Or for that matter, am trying to make the astounding claim that wealth is infinite.
