CA jumps the shark. Now gives FREE CARS to welfare queens.

[Text Drivers are Killers]

I've never been on welfare in my life. I am such a moron.

may 05 2017 Residents at three public housing areas now have a mini-fleet of free Zipcars to make their way around Sacramento.

On Friday, Sacramento launched a pilot program that put eight shared electric Kia Souls at public housing sites. Up to 300 residents can apply for on-demand access to the vehicles, with no charge for maintenance, insurance or juicing up the battery.

Residents can use the cars on a first come, first served basis. They will be limited to three-hour windows three times per week.

is public transit in CA that bad?

Nice play by zipcar, using the "first one is free" strategy to get a foothold and create a market where there was none. Boom. Win for capitalism. Why are you complaining?

Yes, except compared to everywhere else not over the pond.

It's a win for capitalism to have tax payers buy cars for other people?

If these people use the cars to get jobs, what is your problem? It is a vehicle, not a couch and tv.
