The government doesn't have any money. That's someones great grand kid's money.
Fixed it for you.

Sell the TV & Xbox would definitely help them get off their lazy ass and get some exercise, and maybe a job instead of vegetates in front of it.So you're saying poor people shouldn't have entertainment? There's no indication they have cable, or even that the TV is in working order. I'm not sure where you got the $520 figure from. But for the sake the arguing lets say the do have cable, many apartments include it in the monthly rent. So it's very possible that cutting off the cable won't save them a dime. Also, selling the TV & Xbox would result in what a few months of gas & electricity?
That's not going to do anything about solving their problem of not being able to afford to pay the bills. Somehow ATOT's acting like selling a shitty DLP that's probably only worth about $250 will magically fix their problems. It would be like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. The TV and Xbox could be old, so it's not like they're living beyond their means with a ton of of brand new shit. I see 2 items that's all.
I can't judge them one way or another simply because I see a TV and an Xbox controller. But I'm smart enough to know selling the TV will leave them without a TV and won't "help" them.

tru dat. I once paid $5 for a bottle of water. five fucking dollars. That's what being thirsty makes you do. Holding onto your plasma TV and xbox means you're not really that hungry. Being incredibly obese is another sign that you're not hungry... or not that kind of hungry since obese people are always "hungry" in a sense.You have obviously never been that cold/hungry before because if you had been you would know exactly what selling the television and the xbox would do. It would cause you, in the short term which is the only thing that matters when you are cold/hungry, to not be cold/hungry anymore. It doesn't matter if its for a week or a few months it sure beats the hell out of being hungry.
economics fail. 1 closet full of marijuana will buy you 10 closets full of food. If you start selling cocaine, you can buy food and the energy billl2 hydroponics in your closet, it ain't just for marijuana
without fail, the hood advocate makes his appearance.....it's comical now

Maybe one of her room mates will find a job in those 2 months and can contribute to the bills. :whiste:Macon GA isn't what I would call the hood, but whatever you say. What's comical is the people in here bitching about the TV & Xbox. If she sold them she'd be back asking for assistance 2 months later.
Ugh... I remember that. The system is broken. : /We've done that in NY. George Soros donated money supposedly for school supplies for children on medicaid, and the govt. kicked in $170 million in addition. The problem is that Soros wouldn't qualify what the donation was for and the way the govt. regs were written that meant the same thing.
It amounted to $200 per kid between 3 and 18 no questions asked. Ipods, HDTVS, alcohol, smokes- Flew out the doors. ATM machines were emptied. High end sports shoes went.
Know what didn't? School supplies.
It was all over the news. Cameras were at Walmarts showing the stock flying off the shelves. Best Buys too.
Our illustrious Gov. Paterson said it wasn't true, that it was all anecdotal.
Yeah.
The interview moved outside where you could see a bin full of empty beer cans and i love you butts all over the floor (I mean they were forming drifts inches high).

Seriously. Sell TV, pay bills. If you can afford a 55" television and an Xbox 360 (I see the controller on the lower shelf of the TV stand), you don't need my tax dollars. Hope she freezes.

LOL, that TV. Is it like 50"?
I'm the sort of person who would probably sacrifice heating for internet, but I wouldn't complain about it because it would be something I decide to do (and it would be worth it). But I am in California, so I don't really know what cold is.
67 degrees is cold. anything lower and we're talking freezing body parts here.
My bed room is heated by a 6 core AMD computer. The vent from the furnace is blocked and I turn prime95 on or off to control the temperature. I run 4 threads of prime95 small FFT at night to keep the room temperature just right :thumbsup:
You should fold instead running Prime95. No point in wasting clock cycles. You benefit with heat, and everyone else benefits through important research.

BTW, a flat panel big screen TV and Xbox and internet are not required for "entertainment".

I don't even own a TV anymore. Even though I have a good job and lots of extra money kicking around, it's just hard to justify blowing $500 on something I'm doing fine without.
6ftx6ft? R U SRS? If you were somehow able to take in a full harvest EVERY SINGLE DAY, perhaps. Also, poor people and people living in cities usually don't have "yards" at all and local government usually prohibits any serious farming without being in an area zoned for agriculture. You can have a typical garden with some flowers, herbs, and maybe a row of tomatoes and corn.
l2 hydroponics in your closet, it ain't just for marijuana
