Some of these guys were all over the Obamacare post earlier today, including one long screed about how the ACA is hurting his dick. Can the mods get rid of them? How did they get approved for comment in the first place?

You have savings. My last guy ( British) didn't and expected me to pay for him. Saving is a virtue and it is rare these days.

unemployed with trust fund or unemployed and wants to live off you?

Your victimhood is really attractive, NOT.
