🧵 Ireland: EU's First Testing Ground for Digital ID & Wallet 1/9 🇮🇪 Ireland just launched a pilot for its Government Digital Wallet: a state-run app to store ID, birth certificate, driving license, and more. They're calling it "optional." For now. Here's why you should pay close attention 👇 (Please share!) gov.ie/en/department-…

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 In your context, "socialism" has been embedded at California law since at least the mid-1800s, when its modern poor relief laws were adopted.

@humorMEplzz @esbranson @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 I've never seen such a strong level of support for socialism from a fucking yank but here we are!

Let's frame it another way. People have become so poor they need to steal food.

@AliEvren1111 @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 I get how MOSSAD being predominant one, CIA and some MI6 enablers, are helping with water and fruit&veg importers&exporters, all the way from Afghanistan to UK. But I fail to understand what it has to do otherwise with raw chemical for coke.

@esbranson @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 You know!!

@frreewillett Yes and no. This generalized statement confuses community abilities and duties as vs government, often elected by a superminority of residents. On the contrary, some if not many failures such as SUD are individual, though arguably on governments' SUD/narcotics control failures.

Homelessness is a failure of the community, not the individual.

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 lol

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 lol

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 The point is "How is he wrong, and what is the correct situation?"? And I wish I could be as eloquent and exact as AI, but alas I rely on Wikipedia articles on point I edited decades ago. The AI' training data.

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Why are you responding like AI (and repeatedly missing the point for that matter)

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Yes California case law on its welfare system is interpreted in case law, not statute explicitly, against historical English laws, including case law, on poor relief.

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Implicitly?

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 When California law says "Every county and every city and county shall relieve and support all incompetent, poor, indigent persons, and those incapacitated by age, disease, or accident" it is evaluated implicitly against shared English law. So no, not "Wild supposition".

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 I would say you're embarrassing yourself now but think that started a lot earlier

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Welfare is ingrained in our legal systems. Poor relief in English law predates the United States, and is incorporated into all our systems.

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Welfare has nothing to do with the legal system, food banks even less so. Wild supposition like I said

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 "Just based on wild supposition", no. Knowledge of and experience with Anglo-American legal systems. It's not on you, agreed. But "zero background knowledge" I have not.

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 So, I'm assuming yer man knows as little about things here as you do so to boldly express "no one's poor enough to do x, y or z" is just based on wild supposition. It's not on me to explain why yous are wrong if you're making wild suppositions based on zero background knowledge

@AliEvren1111 @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 The fruit&veg importers&exporters are a multi trillion dollar market that involves arms trade, human and organ trafficking? Or cocaine is? Or the water?

@esbranson @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 It's a multi trillion dollar market that involves arms trade, human and organ trafficking. The region is in chaos because of this trade and route. It runs from Afghanistan, through to Turkiye, Ukraine and Europe.

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 In response to your subsequent question "What exactly do you know about welfare or food banks in the UK?" Not much. I know about the US welfare systems and their histories.

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 "No ones poor enough to steal food, they go to food drives, food banks, or get welfare" was the statement, and you responded "you're a yank who knows fuck all about the situation in the UK". My response was "How is he wrong, and what is the correct situation?" It's unanswered.

@j_d_moran @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 "food banks" and "welfare". I don't know what "food drives" or "potlucks" are; though I did go to a tailgate for an official college event once, but I don't think it's relevant.

@esbranson @humorMEplzz @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Not everywhere is America mate. "Food drives", "tailgates", "potlucks". Just random words put together lad

@AliEvren1111 @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 So you're saying CIA-MOSSAD-MI6 is helping fruit&veg importers&exporters? And Israel (the nation, not theitr government intelligence agency) supplies raw chemical for coke, as in cocaine? As in water or something else?

@esbranson @john_ford77 @Dougmcg1 Are you sure? 🤣🤣 There are 100s of Fruit&Veg, Importers&Exporters Companies raking in Million every week; all the way from Afghanistan to UK. And guess who is helping them? MOSSAD being predominant one, CIA and some MI6 enablers. Who supplies raw chemical for coke? Israel!

@Dougmcg1 People are not stealing steak to feed their starving children, they are selling it to pay for drugs and drink.
