    Do the math.

    I'll do it for you. What I need from you so you can't claim it's biased in the total U.S. population and the breakdown of the population in percentage by white/black in 2013. The number on food stamps was 47.6 million.

    You send it to the plutocrats . That is OK. They are gobbling up money and power and you are happy about that. But it portends a real problem in the future. I know you cannot understand that. It involves thinking and projecting into the future. Hate is so ,now. But the wealthy are not constrained by your lack of knowledge. they are thinking of self preservation. this thread is about billionaires wanting to send them their money. Not mine, not yours.

    The real problem is people like Chris Hughes that supports such a thing yet refuses to say when he'll write the check to fund it. Part of that problem is people like you not willing to fund it, either.

    I know the facts that's how I can post what I did. I could produce the numbers. I'm giving you a chance so you can't claim bias.

    My original post was criticizing the concept of universal pay. How was that bullshit you whacked out moron?

    The concept of paying people to do nothing has been proven a historic failure; just like Marxism, Communism, Fascism and communes.

    If that's your claim, and the numbers were what I said, how can it be a lie?

    Of the 40 million blacks in the U.S., 12.1 million used food stamps in 2013. That's 30.2 of them or approximately 1 in 3 1/2.

    Of the 232 million white in the U.S., 18.9 million used food stamps in 2013. That's 8.1% of them or somewhere between 1 in 12 - 13.

    That is an interesting observation. I've read where pilots on commercial aircraft are really no longer need. I've also read that they want to make an AI to dispense legal advice and medical advice.

    I know it is a slippery slope argument, however, it isn't far fetched to ha e an AI rule the world and be completely objective, basically not subject to human whims.

    Floridafool truly lives up to his name. You provided a cite which seems to back up your claim (I skimmed it) and floridafool says you lied but then posted a link which backed up your claim.

    That is pure insanity.

    Easy there padnah, not to worry, we'll be locking up all the redundant workforce in our post-industrial corporate for profit prisons and enslave them into our convict leasing forced labor system instead.
