Meanwhile, here in Charlottesville, and no doubt many other liberal enclaves, this is going on:
I drove a cab for 3 months last fall. My best fares were picking up the opioid addicts to go to the clinic for methadone. The state payed for it. there were several in my county that I got $50-60 to pick up, drive 20 miles wait 5 minutes while they went in for their FREE fix, then drive them home for the same fee. One just a bit up the road I got $70 for each way, and the ones over the mt. in Harrisonburg I got $120 each way. Thats 6 days a week (on Sat they let them take Sunday's supply home). I was making $700 $1000 a week for 30 hours and we had a bunch of drivers that did nothing but them. Every penny of it coming out of the taxpayers pocket...to give free dope to addicts.
Slightly different, one morning I pulled into a trailer park (not mobile home TRAILER) and picked up a Hispanic woman and her young son to take to UVA hospital (a $120 ride each way) for free treatment. Nice lady and the kid was really sick. On the way out of the park a school bus pulled up and I had to stop. As soon as it stopped it was like a swarm of locusts, 40 - 50 kids, all Hispanic, charging at the bus. Apparently the entire park is Hispanic. Ill bet 90% or them are on one form of welfare or another. Again, it adds up, all coming out of our pockets.
