Because more and more, people (at least in America) are feeling entitled to get free stuff without contributing to society.

It's been such a turnaround in attitude. Back in the WWII era, people went all out to support their community and the country. People would help their neighbors when needed. People wouldn't want to go on welfare unless they had to. Then they worked hard to get off it.

Nowadays it seems that people encourage each other to get government money and don't want to do anything for themselves. They'll have children they don't care about just to get more money from the government. It's ridiculous.

I'm not talking about people who need a temporary leg up. I'm talking about able bodied people who just don't feel like contributing to society. Everyone should just give them free money so they can sit home and play video games all day? (For example)

That would be something you'd have to take up with the government. Maybe start local because every state can set different laws.

It's people who have nothing intelligent to say that resort to petty insults.

Federal law doesn't require employers to give employees any time off to vote, much less paid time off. Instead, the laws vary from state to state: Just 29 states and the District of Columbia currently require employers to give employees time off to vote in general elections.

I've gotten LED bulbs at Goodwill for $1 for a 4-pack. I have those in my front and back porch lights which I keep on 24/7. I haven't had to replace them for years.

You may have an electrical issue that's causing them to burn out. Have you had an electrician test the wires?
