How does:

1) Offering the first test FREE

2) Paying them $100 PER TEST to produce a positive result

3) Then requiring them to use $25 to $50 to take another test so they can get ANOTHER $100

negatively impact cash flow? That's called a guaranteed positive cash flow situation (unless you flunk the test).

If someone wants to provide me my start-up capital and then a business with 50% to 75% margins at zero inventory or overhead, I'm in.

If the test is free, then there's no problem and no need for any other cash incentive IMO

I said I personally don't have a problem with a negative urine drug screen, to be administered at the state's discretion, as a contingency upon which welfare is awarded. My problem was with expecting people who are already on a fixed income paying the bill for the drug screen with money they may not have, that's it.

I thought I made that clear from the outset.

Frankly, I'll be fucked if I want to pay for some crack head to get food stamps (hey, I'm self employed but I pay taxes, too) so they can barter food for a rock when I've got an adult stepdaughter, with genuine disabilities, who can't legitimately get help!

Not all of them, but I do think a vast majority of them probably do. Even if it isn't smokes or whiskey I bet there is something they are spending their money on that isn't a necessity. Cell phone, Cable TV, Internet, etc


All too often I hear and see someone complaining they're broke w/a cigarette hanging out of their mouth, a smart phone in their hand, etc. STFU w/your complaining if you're going to be stupid w/your money.

I don't know too many people who couldn't cut back. The amish would think our electricity habit is ridiculous. haha

Seriously...

I hear some of my employees always bitching that they only have $40 or whatever to last them til payday. Yet god forbid they stop smoking.

Hell, we had to change pay periods from monthly to bi monthly cuz the majority couldnt make their paychecks last a month.

This is commonplace around the country. People blow their money of shit.

and i'm perfectly fine w/that when you have the funds to do so.


But if you're living from paycheck to paycheck and spending your money on unnecessary things then stfu.
