    Rant - Free money

    It's crazy out there. Some of you know my Dad passed away and social security basically told her too bad and she's still fighting to just get the $255 death benefit. So now she gets to live off of an amazing $1,100 per month in income.

    Point #2 - The hurricane victims you hear getting $750... Not really. They have to apply first. The only people who qualify are those already getting free money. If you were insured or have income you get exactly jack squat.

    Here's my rant. Took me a while to figure it out. I have no proof it's just a guess but I bet I'm correct. My daughter took a new job. The guy (call him Frank) is opening a dog boarding/training franchise. Cost near 100k to buy in. Ok no big deal.. He interviewed once and hired my daughter and another guy(call him Bob). Well they get paid $20/hr for the last 3 weeks to basically do nothing. My daughter was asking me a zillion questions like how? LOL I had no answer. Now he just sent both band new employees that he just hired to Indianapolis for training. Total cost is about $25k per employee. At this point I was thinking no freaking way. No one in their right mind would invest that much in a new employee. I mean he doesn't even know either one at all.

    So they met at work one day (instead of the shelter they normally go to since business isn't open yet) and it takes Bob 3 hours to get there. He doesn't own a car so takes public transportation. I just laughed thinking nothing of it. Daughter can't figure out why Frank hired this guy over another dog trainer that applied that lives close to the new business.

    Now daughter is in North Carolina because flight was delayed then entire route changed. So she's on the clock making money sitting in airports. I asked her if she's just hanging out with Bob and she has no clue where he ended up. He was supposed to be on the same flight/s as her. LOL

    As she was telling me about other ways money is flowing out without a care it dawned on me.... Must be free money. So I asked the question, and yep Frank and Bob are both "minorities".

    So my wager is all this money is a taxpayer funded grant to help a minority business get started. Going to be about $200k down the crapper without a care in the world. But they can tell my elder mom to screw off because $1,100 a month is enough.

    This guy has zero clue how to run a business from the things my daughter is telling me. He doesn't even know what days he wants the business to be open (She asked him yesterday). Oh and Frank is a software engineer so he makes decent money. This will be his side gig.

    I do hope I'm wrong and this guy is losing his own money....But I can't see anyone being that stupid with their own cash.

      That’s exactly the way they work the system. The business will fail and he won’t have to pay anything back.

        If you know how to work the system, you will never have to work a day in your life! People are doing it right now!

            The Owners will be Bank rolling the Federal Funds and will declare Bankruptcy. If your daughter misses a Paycheck that means the funding is drying up. Don't stick around to be a Creditor in the Court Proceedings. Anyone that was using and losing their own money would not be so reckless with it. Just my 2 cents.

              Yep. I know some folks who haven't worked in years, but they know every avenue to get money from all different areas of the government. They don't live in luxury, but they don't have to get up and do anything either.

                Can I tack on a rant about all the child tax credits, etc, phasing out at a certain (not high) income. My kid costs as much as anyone else's. More than anyone that qualifies for the child credits if we're being honest.

                  My wife's EX sister-in-law has 5 kids. (one is an adult now) So 4 ranging from 13 to 7 years old. She has been claiming over the past 5 or 6 years that she is separated from husband (not divorced), but yet he has been living with them for a good majority of that time. She has never had a job, and he has had one off and on. Up until recently she was receiving over $4500 month financial assistance from the government for basically nothing but having 4 kids. Not to mention that she gets reduced housing also. They have big BBQ's almost every weekend. I feel for the kids, but the adults are total burdens on society.

                    These at least have a supposed purpose. So they could make sense if the system worked correctly.

                    It's a scam the government knows happens more often than not. So it's a double scam.

                      When my Grandmother owned a convenience store this was a well known scam. Claiming your spouse/baby father doesn't live with you. Same folks that bought food with food stamps and spent their actual money on beer and lottery tickets. You could say I learned about low life scammers at an early age.

                        Dope dealers take advantage too. Meth head will put 200 dollars worth of groceries on a lonestar card and then trade the food to the dealer for a 20 dollar hit. Been going on forever

                          For sure. I worked with a guy who would give a crackhead 50 cents on the dollar for his lone star card.
