They obviously have their priorities straight. They expect us to bail out these cesspools of corruption?
The Democrats are wielding corona like a club, destroying everything in their path.

San Francisco gives free drugs, alcohol to homeless quarantining in hotels
By Kenneth Garger | NY Post May 6, 2020 |
San Francisco is giving free drugs and alcohol to some homeless people isolating inside city-rented hotels during the coronavirus pandemic, officials confirmed Wednesday.
The city has handed out either booze, tobacco or medical cannabis to 43 homeless people with addictions to deter them from leaving the hotels and potentially spreading coronavirus, Jenna Lane, a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Health, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
“They’re doing San Francisco a great service by staying inside,” Lane told the paper. “We’re saying, ‘We’re doing what we can to support you staying inside and not have to go out and get these things.’ ”
The approach is part of a city “harm reduction based practice” not funded with taxpayer money, the health department said on Twitter.
San Francisco is using hotels to house a total of 270 homeless people who have either tested positive for the coronavirus or are highly susceptible to infection. They also usually have no place of their own to properly quarantine, the report said.
The measure uses “the best evidence to help people manage their addictions,” the city’s health director, Dr. Grant Colfax, said at a Wednesday press conference.
“In some cases, this will include helping them manage their alcohol and nicotine use so they can stay safe and in-place as much as possible to help their communities and help themselves.”

Just feed them to the carnivores at the zoo.
Move to San Francisco … furnished Laphroaig and 555s.
Life is good.
Yeah what if an alcoholic requires Dom Perignon ’61’ or ’82’ to satisfy his cravings? Just because someone’s an alcoholic doesn’t mean they’re cheap!
’73 English Cuvee … my favorite Dom. On the other hand, we homeless should require Cristal. That’s the least that city government should do for us.
Cristal…perfect.
I’d doubt that most would remember ever having it let alone request it.
Beggars aren’t so choosey. When they are homeless they are fairly down and out.
It’s really sad. Some are homeless out of no fault of their own from the Obama days and just never got back on their feet again. Drugs gave them an escape.
I have to wonder why aren’t the mega churches helping our legal American citizens? I have seen it too many times where they get off sending money to Africa or some place like that and totally ignore the needs here with our own legal citizens….
I just hope they have a bartending staff. Surely then can’t expect the homeless to mix their own drinks?
….it’s all part of the NEW WORLD ORDER….that GHWB told us about.
Make everyone dependent on the “Government” and you have slaves for life.
In 20 years…our kids will be looking for their “Moses.”
PLUS, you’ll probably be allowed to defecate in the street, while cursing at tourists (if there any left) and drinking that Laphoaig, because the mayor has declared the homeless hands off.
“Manage their alcohol and nicotine use so they can stay safe” by supplying alcoholics with alcohol? That’s managing it? What about heroin addicts? Do they give the heroin? What about crack addicts? Do they give them crack? What about meth addicts? Do they give them speed? Well at least the level of human excrement in the streets of San FranFreaksco should be declining right? Now that the homeless have readily available toilets?
Ha ha, that’s so cute. You think these homeless people will actually use the toilets in the hotel. Watch for the buildings to be condemned and demolished after they turn them into mirror images of the streets they came from.
I’m sure they would take special requests. I’d bet most would trade sex for drugs.
The homeless are not contributers so DEMS don’t care about them.
….they just use them to beat up on us……and taking our kids’ futures.
They(Dems)can use this to get some mail-in ballots signed, in their favor of course.
So ….. if I am a “gun addict” will they buy me new guns???
Wasn’t SF one of the places that tried “paying criminals to not commit crimes”?
According to ‘worldometer.info”

US by population 0.023%
….and our Millennial women quit having kids….our men have half the sperm count of their Dad’s….who had one quarter less than their Dads.
Our birthrate is down. When that happens….we’ll be Germany. Merkel brought in 2 million Muslim men to work…..turns out….they don’t work. Most of them are on the German taxpayer dole.and committing violent crimes all over Germany.
We’re almost there with the illegals and the H-1b visas….
“Democrat San Francisco gives free drugs, booze to homeless quarantining in hotels.”
If a citizen did this….we’d be charged and put in prison.
And right now many weak people are being offered a “drug” of another type by the Demoncrats……..guaranteed income for doing nothing from the Federal Government.
They would change their current boss for the Feds…..controlling their lives and taking away all initiative to do anything for themselves, their families, and their country.
Free money….the most potent “drug” of all.
Let the celebrities bail out their state.
Are they going to check for ID’s?
