    The deal in life is you gotta work and pay your own way. Like Spencer Davis sang, "Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent."

    When you're growing up and in high school you know that the burdens of life will soon be upon you, and you have to figure out a way to pay the rent. If you're gonna get something you have to earn it.

    Darwin rules. If you can't cut the mustard you're going to have shitty life. Just the way it is.

    Nobody else should have to pay the way for non-family.

    That's due to the gentle climate more than anything else. No freezing temperatures in California's cities. Simple logic.

    Please explain, in your infinite wisdom, why millions of full time workers still qualify for government assistance.

    That's due to California's stance on weed/drugs and the out of the 30 million illegals in the country, the biggest percentage is in California.

    Highest rates of Homelessness in order is Washington, DC, New York, Hawaii, Oregan california, Massachusetts..... not all warm weather and all high tax regions with money. You'd think they could figure it out as they would seem to have resources.

    How old are you?

    Are you homeless now because you're too old to get a job?

    Because those workers have jobs rather than careers, and it's very easy to qualify for government assistance.

    And a person being on government assistance doesn't automatically make them homeless. Free housing is one of the most popular forms of government assistance.

    How about if the restriction is companies that require drug testing? Is it somehow society's fault if a person's choice to do drugs prevents them from being employed?

    So you're saying you fall into the "incapacitated" category of unemployed?

    The only legal restrictions to being hired is the inability to do the job.

    You got to plan for your way up, what you're going to do in your prime, and what you're going to do on your way down. Because the way down is coming.

    Discrimination is not legal but it doesn't mean they will not do it because they do..

    Yeah, if there was no discrimination there would be no need for any laws or lawsuits yet that is not the case.

    According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since the end of the Great Recession, small businesses have created 62 percent of all net new private-sector jobs.

    Screw the rich they don't do anything for the average Joe.
