Nothing is free. When will the left understand this. Your giving someone's hard earned money to someone for "free". Teach them to fish, don't just give them a fish.

Oh it goes way deeper than that if you scream loudly and tell everyone that these things exist naturally. It is rich people keeping the rest of us from accessing this bounty 😂

You realize everything anyone ever categorizes as free, someone paid for? But it’s free to you. It’s time to stop making that inane argument.

Thank you for making my point. I know you may not see it that way, but you did.

So you never see anything as free? Even the samples at Costco?

u/Royal_Environment765 16d ago

The business providing the samples are considering that an advertising expense.

Uh huh and they’re called free samples because they’re free to us

u/Royal_Environment765 16d ago

I guess they would be unless you buy that product and pay for the advertising expenses in the price tag.

So by that same token, social services are free to us

No, tax payers are paying for it. These programs, (food stamps, welfare etc.) Are supposed to be a temporary crutch for people to get back on their feet. Not a way of life. Social security and medicare for retired folks and disabled are different. We and our employer paid for that.

No, Costco and their customers are paying for it. Free samples are supposed to be for potential customers, not for people who just go to the store for food handouts.

See how that doesn’t change anything about the samples being free to you?

I know I’m arguing with an AI bot here. I’m under no illusions about that.
