Choose your battles..

Sound like another great entitlement scam. Hit the streets for a couple productive income hours with a sign begging for money, hop in to your Tahoe and hit the food stores to take in free food samples until you're sated, then ride the Tahoe home for a nap. Be up in time for the evening meal. Then you get to do it again.

I don't see where an entitlement scam comes into play. You're out on the street at the crack of dawn encouraging private citizens to contribute to your cause (Not lazing around the house waiting for a welfare check). Then you participate in the delectable snacks offered by your local warehouse club....of which you are a paying member.

So...you're a hard working club member...like a Rotarian...only poorer and smellier.

Oh, and I forgot to mention being able to post selfies and youtube videos of the day's endeavors from your free iphone.

Where do they get these free iphones? Is the 6S available?

Xpango offers free iPhones, . . . even the iPhone 6 plus.

n/b, DonDiego has not investigated exactly what one must do to qualify for a free iPhone from Xpango. He supposes it would require some effort which DonDiego would not be interested in making, . . . 'specially 'cause he has no use for an iPhone.

Don Diego's more into the batphone galaxy type thing,huh? Stealthy man that he is..

Not at all.

DonDiego is old school. He has a plain vanilla Samsung flip-phone, . . . barely capable of transmitting/receiving plain old telephone calls. He'd've requested it with a rotary-dial if that option had been offered, as he finds the pushbuttons too small. And he doesn't much care for the possibility that holding a modern telephone to one's head may damage brain-cells, as the number he has remaining is steadily declining.

Me too. I have a stupid phone, the flip phone variety. With it, I also have a stupid phone plan. I don't know how to text on this little thing, and I don't want to know how. My stupid phone plan charges 35 cents for every text over 3 per month, incoming or outgoing. If I want to communicate with anyone using a phone, I'll call them or they'll call me...talk to each other. Texting promotes functional illiteracy, and contributes to hunchback posture for young people. Neither of those are good things.

MY God, man!

I have a smart phone and DD doesn't?

I need a pizza.....

DonDiego recommends chefantwon consider the 1920 play Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti, translated as Rossum's Universal Robots, by Czech writer Karel ?apek for insight into how these fancy "smart" devices wheedle their way into every niche of society and make themselves so useful that society cannot do without them, . . . and eventually the devices recognize that they can survive without human beings.

Or maybe The Terminator, if chefantwon has something against Czechs.
