The mayor’s office says it would be the first major U.S. city to enact such a plan.

    Bus, walk, bike, if you cannot affort a car you’re likely not working enough so you have the time to use alternative modes of transport.

      Where are you supposed to bike to when the nearest supermarket is 20 miles away?

      And poor people often work 2 or 3 jobs. Again, you know nothing about being poor.

        Unless you live in bumfuck arkanses the next supermarket is not 20 miles away, and even then it likely isn’t.

        Poor people work so many jobs that I see them sitting on their porch at 1pm on a fucking Tuesday.

            Ah, yes. Me working hard to be where I am and seeing others do nothing and complain about being poor is classism. I’m not rich, I’m just not a fucking bum.

              Ah, so now people who don’t work are all bums. No, you’re totally not a classist.

                People that do not work while being able to work are bums, yes. That is how that works. Sounds like you’re a fucking bum too tbh.

                  How do you know they are able to work by just seeing them on their porch? I’m semi-disabled. No one would be able to tell unless I told them. I work, but I was unable to for 3 years until I got my medication sorted and a job that was liberal about me taking sick days. Was I a bum for three years? Should I have worked while screaming in agonizing pain?

                    You weren’t unable to work, you were just unable to do work that you felt was good enough for you. You could’ve taken a call centre job and worked from home, you could’ve attempted something like drop shipping which has nearly no initial costs, you could’ve done a million things right there from your bedroom and you did nothing and called yourself “semi-disabled”. You’re either disabled, or you’re not. So yeah, you were a bum for three years.
