The Obama-Phone Is Back - But This Time It's Real
While some saw the clip of the lady implying 'victory for Obama means phones for everyone' as perhaps exaggerated out-of-context right-wing propaganda - as that would be preposterous right? - it appears San Francisco took it a little more serious. As SFGate reports, the California Public Utilities Commission is expected to approve (within a couple of weeks) a plan to offer homeless and other poor people in California 'virtually free cell phones and service'. The plan is funded through the federal LifeLine program and is designed to enable these individuals to 'keep in touch with family, potential employers and others crucial to improving their lives'. "This is great - it is transformative for homeless and low-income people," said San Francisco's head of homeless initiatives, adding that, fundamentally, to be in the mainstream of our society you have to have a phone." Setting up the program in California has been no easy task, officials said. "I would prefer it to be free..." said Dufty, and said he would explore other funding sources. Perhaps worth remembering the cost of kidding ourselves once again.
Via SFGate:
Homeless and other poor people in California are on track to soon get virtually free cell phones and service so they can keep in touch with family, potential employers and others crucial to improving their lives.
The cell phones would be handed out through a federally funded Lifeline program - already operated by service provider Assurance Wireless in 36 other states - that is likely to win final approval in the next couple of weeks from the California Public Utilities Commission.
State PUC officials have been reviewing the Lifeline proposal from Assurance Wireless for three years. Word came Thursday that all but a minor detail had been approved, ending years of effort by advocates for homeless people.
"This is great - it is transformative for homeless and low-income people," said Bevan Dufty, San Francisco's head of homeless initiatives,
...
"Fundamentally, to be in the mainstream of our society you have to have a phone," he said. "And really, for the homeless population, you need a cell phone because they don't have a home to hard-wire one into. We really need this plan."
...
The state's decades-old Lifeline program, like those all over the country, pays for all but a few dollars of the monthly phone bill for poor people, generally meaning those whose annual income is below $14,702. But until now, California's PUC rules only authorized Lifeline service for "wireline" phones, meaning traditional phones wired into residences - and those rules didn't authorize anything for free.
Getting set up not easy
Setting up the program in California has been no easy task, officials said.
...
Approval of the cell phone program came Thursday from the telecommunications specialists at the CPUC, which oversees the state's Lifeline plans.
...
"We're very excited," said Jayne Wallace, an Assurance Wireless spokeswoman. "We know from experience this can make a big difference in people's lives."
...
Cost of program
...
Assurance Wireless first offered its free cell phone proposal to the CPUC in 2009 and got tentative clearance in 2011. It has been a slow process since.
...
Immediately, however, the customer will be rolled into Assurance Wireless' Lifeline plan, which will provide 250 free minutes of talk time and 250 free text messages per month. The customer will then get the initial $20 back as a credit to be used whenever he or she exceeds the talk and text limits.
"I would prefer it to be free, but this at least opens the door," said Dufty. He said he would explore if other funding sources could backfill the up-front $20 charge.

Re: "now you can track every possible debt slave with GPS like accuracy"
Almost there .. in Germany :
Germany / Brandenburg : Older unemployed must wear Pedometers to make sure they're actively looking for jobs
A friend of mine told me that long long ago before the beginning of time, people far apart (like one block away) couldn't text each other because they didn't have phones.
I laughed at him and said they could've just used skype or facebook instead, stupid.
Ma crack dealer iz hards to findz
He gonna do more!
Article title: "But this time it's real!"
in the article: "The cell phones would be handed out through a federally funded Lifeline program - already operated by service provider Assurance Wireless in 36 other states"
So it's only real once it happens in California? The other 36 States that have this program don't count?
This takes the total to not work to $90,020.
I don't want to live in this world anymore.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and live like an ape man.
You can make your own island beneath your own two feet, if you are truly free in your spirit.

let's make the ruling elite mofo's not want to live in this world shall we????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need better drugs; opiates; opiates are good. raw opium is particularly good for making the world very palatable. I was on a steady diet of raw opium while I was living on my crusing yacht with my college girl crew when I was 33 and retired. The world seemed alright; especially around Hawaii and Tahiti.
Holy fuck these idiots find new ways every day to fuck the middle class up the ass. what a bunch of completely fucked up assholes these decision makers are. they need to be stopped by any means possible. fucking idiots.
Well the left/RINOs need to attack "tea baggers" and Hollywood star Jamie Foxx can talk about his thrill and desire to kill white people.
And what woulda happened had it been say, Ted Nugent talking about how thrilling it could be to shoot black people?
Trav777 getting a boner?
!!
It will happen before 2016
I don't care. No one ever calls me anyway. Maybe I will get a misdial once in a while.
this program is long over due and should be adoped by other states and be made free.....those of you who have not been so poor or homeless and without the capacity to empathize are clueless about the difficulties of homelessness and probably so arrogant and stuck on yourselves that you don't give a fuck anyway - your self indulgent iphone lives are disgusting...
Are you shitting me? Is our world so fucked up that people who are homeless are more concerned with being able to fucking text than getting out of their situation? Do they need a phone for some HR person to call them back and tell them they did not get the job because they smell like piss?
I have been down and out. I appreciated a nice meal and a warm bed. It was a treat to watch TV. If I had anyone to call...I would have been at their house.
Who are these people going to call? Each other?
They can't sell rocks unless their customers can get in touch.
Didn't you read the release? it's important they be able to call potential employers. HA HA HA HA. ROFL.This is what happens when you let people spend other peoples money; or as Margaret Thatcher summed it up so nicely; "Socialism is fine until you run out of other peoples money to spend". Right now we're in the phase where we're spending virtual money; it isn't anyone's; it doesn't even exist. 100%Silver Bullion or else. it won't be long now, folks.
Free.
Right...
Yeah, no kidding.
I know YOU did not build the telecom infrastructure. Because I did. All over New England from the early eighties until 2003. All the government did I'd press us for kick backs, contributions, and generally obstruct us every inch of the way.
Yeah...free.
Oh it's free all right! Somewhere out there you will find a congressman who has a brother in law who operates a business that builds free charging stations for these phones so the homeless have a place to charge their "FREE" phones. How else will they get the power to be able to communicate with their families? They need "FREE" charging stations as well, placed all over the city! I happen to know a guy that builds them, and there is a bonus "FREE" hot coco in the winter time! IT'S ALL FREE! WHAT A FUCKING DEAL!!!! Oh and did I mention the free shower stalls, with a TV lounge to catch up on the latest world events, AND IT'S ALL FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A FUCKING DEAL, GOD DAMN I LOVE AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!
But not as arrogant or greedy as you tony bonn, I'll not ask you to pay for my phone, or anything for that matter. You are nothing but a common thief, in cahoots with a corrupted govt. to steal from the deserving. No wonder you are poor.
Tony, where do those homeless plug in a phone to charge it. Under the bridge, up your ass, up thier ass. They will be trading phone calls for booze just as soon as they can find a charging station. LOL
NA and AA meetings where they also get a cupa Joe and a doughnut.
Food banks and shelters.
Outdoor sockets behind buildings amongst the dumpsters....
There be a whole lotta places to charge them, no more difficult than finding a tap for water.
The question is what the fuck are they gonna do with them....
And while I'm fucking at it, hows about limiting what an EBT card can buy to healthy foods instead of Twinkies and Doritos....
Fucking out of control.
Once the initial charge of everyones free phone runs out, they'll enact a federally mandated carbon free charging kiosk initiative. Of course it will also be blaring Starbucks (TM) and Carl's Jr. (TM) commercials at you. You can download coupons right to your phone!
I'm so arrogant and snobbish that I definetely don't give a fuck. it's so nice to be able to think of all the poor suffering while I enjoy myself on my private estate in Hawaii. It makes it all so much better, somehow.
Z'at you, Barry?
In Portland, Oregon the homeless drink frappuccinos and carry iPhones. And the shelters serve only "organic, sustainable, locally-sourced food". You think I'm kidding. Well, I say, more, more! Bring it on! The sooner we crash this bitch and thin out the herd, the sooner we can restore the Republic and rebuild a nation that we're all proud to live in.
They should call Obama and tell him they're homeless. Then maybe he'll buy them a home too!
Good plan! Could solve the housing over-supply. Of course, a lot of the homeless are of the same mentally limited gene pool as our "president"; and had "free houses" already; you know the ones you could buy if you were the right color and you had never had a job. At least some of them did get repossessed, you know.
Why not? The U.S. Deficits can be financed with ease at near zero percent.
I say why not start handing out checks Krugman style?
Our debt will get downgraded again and the debt ceiling raised, but it won't matter because the Bond Vigilantes like Bill Gross and Mohammed "Rubber Lips" El-Erian are too busy handling huge fund inflows from all parts of the world wanting fixed income with no risk.
Anyone seen the massive new PIMCO building under construction at "Facist" Island in Newport Beach?
Pure state of the art with ocean views, Gross and El-Erian have 5 minute commutes to Lido Isle and Big Canyon residences.
i actually agree robo. send me my damn check krugman style. let's party.
Krug.. Krug... Krug.. Krugman Style.
Banzai, you've got work to do.
Go back to your penny daytrading in your momma's basement and hanging out with the crack whores, asswipe --- you were not missed in the least during your too-short absence here.
Speak for yourself akak, I miss those fake melons.
What inspred the Tylers to unlock the basement door and let the riffraff back in? Are they feeling particularly generous around the holiday season this year? Maybe it's like that one time per year when you have to go see those weird relatives that you don't want to see, but you know that once it's over you're good to go for 364 more days...
God (and Tyler) only knows.
What inspired them to employ Leo "I never met a Bernanke monetization that I didn't like" Kovilakis as a featured commentator in the first place, or to tolerate the egregious trolls like MasterBater, JohnnyBravo, RedNeckRepugnicant, MathMan, HarryWanger, or AnAnonymous for so long, or at all?
I'm sorta glad AnAnonymous is here if only for the hilarious riffing you and TheFourthStooge-ing do on his crispier bits. Funny shit.
Woohoo, make me laugh!
More 'american' offuscation, running from reality, inability to face their 'american' monolizing of the speeching means, farming the poor and extorting the weak, blobbing-up, stealing land from Indians to plant negro slavery ever since 4th July, 1776.
In US Citizenism, the grope is all. The grope, the grope is the mattering thing.
But in an 'american' world, no escape from 'americanism' eternal nature.
Alas, alas, triple alas. Just have to bear with it.

You could hit a golf ball to Big Canyon with a 9 iron from that building.
"...fixed income with no risk"...
How is earning a negative 5% real return on your money considered "fixed" or "no risk"?

"Facist" is mis-spelled, dear; and I told you repeatedly I preferred your other pink push up bra.
In all seriousness, dear; what you fail to understand is that the future always arrives; and is almost always predictable. What you are describing is the super-inflation of the mother of all bubbles; the world-nuclear-bubble that will take everything with it when it pops. This is the bubble that will produce the $500/oz. silver; because when it pops there will be no exits left.
it can't be true, its alive
Obama building his base. Republicans seem clueless as to why they lost the election. Here is one example why.
Tell them that cel phones prevent brain cancer.
Remember Johnny Cochran?
You mean he's building Michelle's base. The Octagon 2016; Hillary vs. Michelle. Battle of the Backends.
They're going to have to widen the doors in the White House.
Oh dear God, it's still 2012....
Need we already start?
Your comment, pleseus, reminds me of a cartoon I saw this morning of an elephant wearing a big GOP button, bellowing:
Which is perfectly true. And the people are mad, livid. You can hear the change. You can sense the catastrophe. But the politicians don’t see it or hear it. So it’s good to let the Obamas and Michelles and Jerry Browns and Boehners and Pelosis carry on ad nauseum with their Marxist redistributions. There’s backlash comin’ ... and it’s going to slap them right in the face.
Ah, yes, this too is biflationary nirvana as ever more overcapacity gets built into the system (without increased real demand for telecom) while general costs (to you) will become more (ahem) upwardly mobile (need to print more monopoly money to finance this, and bandwidth don't grow on trees! They'll pass on costs to you and me fersure!)

Well, you could always tax human and farm animal exhalation to help fund it, that evil CO2 must be stopped, er become a new excuse for a revenue source!
FORWARD!
The global warming bugs believe that the methane that comes out the other end is a more potent greenhouse gas.
True, it actually is, but there our more of us to tax!
Nothing like good old fear through "science" to rape people of more wealth under the guise of "saving" them ...
You are missing the revenue generating (or dodging) aspects of a flatulence tax.
I drink beer, so a portion of my emissions have already been taxed as co2 at the brewery, but non-beer drinkers would obviously produce more methane, which could be taxed at a higher rate.
Hell, I might actually end up with a refund, because my methane isn't as concentrated as theirs.
+1
That settles it, an emmission tax for all humans and farm animals. It covers all bodily gasseous expulsion!
There, everything's fixed!!! :-D

I just love it how these people try to convince us it's "free" when we know who is really paying the bill. Just add another item to the longg list of things we don't have when the welfare state collapses. Which can't happen quick enough.
When everything is valued in (fiat) money, the difference between priceless-free, valueless-free and costless-free gets blurred.
I like that; I might use it as a quote. Very true; blurrier and blurrier. Spending virtual money based on rubber interest that will never be paid on the underlying environmentally correct bonds that soundlessly self-destruct and turn into; nothing.
i'd still prefer to string up the rich vs. the poor.
Other than providing an opportunity to once again slam the nigger in the White House, this is an important story because.......?

OMG; laughing too hard. coughing up my tea through my nose.
Dang! These mofo's want to keep track of the homeless too!! This sheet be getting serious now y'all!!!!!
It's 10 pm. Do you know where your debt slaves are?
FEMA and the CC of American needs to call them regarding their new "home."
ipads are a civil right !
If only the consittution mattered, an amendement would have been made:
..and ponys. Don't forget the ponys
The way it is going, everything will be provided for free to whomever is rated as poor (fat, owns a car, drunk all day, but no job).
I give it 2-3 years that every single human soul in California will stop working and would voluntarily be poor.
Nope; the Mexican Illegals will still be trimming up the landscapping for bean tacos.
First of all, remember that the state and the corporations collude in this. For corporations it's just the cost of doing business...they'll stop doing it the moment they see it affect their balance sheet. It was always this way, with the affirmative action jobs and corporate freebies.
So you are mistaken if you think this is a left vs. right sort of thing. Everybody just passes the bullshit along and hopes to live another day, make a few bucks and exit before their stupid plans fail.
Second of all, do not think this is limited to just one state. This is a nationwide problem, and besides, we still live in one nation so what happens "there" affects people everywhere through the associated costs and of course word of mouth which spreads, so other states end up doing the same thing.
See you have to understand what America has turned into. It's all about getting your share of the free (or low cost) swag, whether you are working or not. The more connected you are at top or bottom, the more you get and the less you pay.
The less connected you are (the vast majority of working stiffs) the less you get and the more you pay.
Not as good as the original mix, still funny though

Poor is the new rich.
Me buy phone in xchange for crack. Me sell phone back to Foxcon
If they all got a time machine it would make it easier for them to do time travel to other worlds too...after they land that big job with their cell phone of course and build up some vacation time. My concern is only that everyone down and out gets all their dreams to come true. That's what it's all about.
Make me laugh.
Obviously, you are unaware of AnAnonymous' magical lightning-powered flying rickshaw of Benjamin Franklin inventionism of 'american' fabled past, with which 'american' Chinese Citizenism citizens conquered and blobbed-up 16th century Easter Island, according to their eternal nature.
But when 'american' historical ignorance is the mattering thing, just have to bear with it ...
Free raw opium would be so much better. not good for Thunderbird sales, tho.
You mean its not about Hokey Pokey anymore?
Facepalm.
Has "welfare state" become the new "bitches" on ZH?
Seems like that's the new go-to, catch-all phrase.
I'm eagerly awaiting the next iteration of this meme. I suspect "welfare state bitches" is a sure-to-be-a-hit-rolls-off-the-tongue winner.
Yeah, because "warfare state" is tired. But I don't like anything that has "fare" in it, like the public transit's "fare is fair". Actually, I don't like any word consisting of F and R syllables (e.g. fear, far, free...)
With the exception of FuckeR of course.................
If you are pissed about the nomenclature, go for neologisms...like Obamatopia...the state he built for you
The state "he" built? Really? Because no other administration or corporate interest had anything whatsoever to do with the building of our current "state"?
Are you serious?
No of course not. Generations of Americans built it, nameless ones, crony politicians, entrepreneurs etc.
What is intended today is curtly put building a rehash of FDR in blackface, but imho a final splurge before the breakdown, e.g. End of the British Empire.
Nice to know I will probably be paying for some fucking asswipe to text his buddy in Compton? WTF over?! I don't even live in the fucking state.
Compton? How did you arrive at Compton...considering you don't even live in the state? What made you think of Compton?
Who gives a fuck. Let's try Barrio Logan or Niland (slab city) that was an example. Now quit being part of the problem and become part of the solution.
Tracking devices. The government knows where everybody else is.
This is all paid for by the Universal Service Charge. A small fraction of which goes to low income phone service. Actually you don't hav to get a cell , you can get a landline instead.
Anyhow, this the phone industries private money laundering slush fund mandated by the gov't.
Maybe you should bitch about that instead?
The Universal Service Charge was an Al Gore system. Wow Tyler is getting banner ads for the Federal Lifeline Porgram aka ObamaPhones.
As I stated in a earlier post, I can't wait to depart this shit stain of a state in 2 weeks for Texas. This post is just today's version the latest insanity coming from the golden state.
People are more polite in open carry states. I'm rooting for Texas to seccede; personally.
CA is an open carry state.
In SF it's legal to walk around in leather chaps with your dick hanging out in the open.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
LOL!
Oh, cool. I didn't know that. I assumed they made firearms as illegal as possible.
Brought to you by the same state that finances new schools with "payday loan" scheme. In a year or so Cali will wonder why this "free" system is costing so damned much.
If you think about it, this is not that bad an idea. How the fuck else do these people have a chance of getting off the street? There are truly needy, determing that need is something else entirely.
"Who you gonna call, Homeless Busters?" WTF is a homeless guy going to do with a phone other than sell it or get it stolen. Remember the NY cop that bought shoes for the homeless guy and a day later the guy was shoeless again. The notion they will be able to stay in contact with family seems ludicrous believing that if they had family worth staying in touch with they wouldn't be homeless, they would be on their families couch. Like most ideas that come from the high minded liberals, it sounds good in theory but in the real world it sucks and is unworkable.
I thought I was poor when I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no cell phone.
How are they going to keep them charged? Will these phones not have a statemtne attached to it keeping track of the minutes. What back alley or street corner will that be mailed to?
Liberal thought process stops at "free phone." The charging, infrastructure stuff never enters the picture. Now, after the homeless guys riot, they will add another tax to build charging stations in public for the phones. The homeless will use them to run drop cords to power stuff in their alleys and tents. I can see this really going somewhere.
Bullish :

We here spell that tourist.
I think you have to speak Icelandic or they don't let you stay? (One of the hardest tongues to learn)
Also, I'm not a fan of the climate there.
I'm waiting for Obamatutes. Free sex for everyone. Sex is more important than a phone.
Seriously though, where is a homeless person going to charge thier free phone?
Or do we help out the green jobs by giving every homeless a free Bloom Box they can pee in for power, or is it fart in it to produce the gas needed for power.
More solar panels should take care of it. Maybe they can wear them on their vote for Obama Beanies.
Obama Beanies.
Someone should make them with nice big propellers and have a miilion man march in washigton dc with all wearing Obama beanies.
Maybe then he will get the drift.
Battery exchange. Same location as needle exchange.
The Bloom Box is a great idea. Maybe General Obama is listening.
I think they already have them, they are called Obamaflukes. I saw one on TV.
I think the government should issue matches and firewood instead. That way if the homeless get cold they could warm themselves and maybe cook a meal. The feds have lots of wooded parks and could be farmed and the pot smoking prisoners could use the exercise in the woods to gather the fuel for the homeless.
Then if the homeless want to communicate they could use their FEMA blankets to make smoke signals and some kid with an I-pad can donate his or her time, read the smoke signals and publish it on twitter.
We could save money, keep the homeless warm and in touch, get rid of dead wood thereby reducing forest fires, give prisoners something to do and Obama wiil be hailed as hero in chief and put a smile on his face.
The aforementioned bullshit is provided at no cost to you all :)
Fuck it. That's the coporate foodstamps.
Don't worry San Fran, the homeless will still be pissing on the street in broad daylight cell phones or not.
to the folks saying this signals the end of 'merica or whatever, this program has its roots back to reagan and was available under clinton.
And with 20+ years of data, the state could produce some statistics concerning reduced poverty, job placement, and increased hygiene in the homeless population.
Sarc?
In the grand scheme of things, phones for homeless people is a drop in the bucket
2 drones, one program cost 2.4 billion (so they say)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-1_Predator
this super duper predator reapor cost 12 billion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics_MQ-9_Reaper
Weee lets get our knickers in a twist about the homeless. Holy fuck hey who moved the goalposts?
And every time someone says "oh this program is just a drop in the bucket" They don't understand that enough drops in a bucket over time makes the fucking bucket overflow. Shortsighted thinking by people that have zero fiscal discipline. "You watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves" is a saying that is lost on Washington and I suppose the younger generations.
Unless the Frisco Obamunists hand out the iPhone 5 with a 5GB/mo data plan, the recipients will still be at a huge competitive and social disadvantage. Not having an iPhone 5 will mark you as the potential homeless in Frisco. Regardless, General Obama will be paying for the transfer one way or another through some scheme, scam, or "grant".
Obama; the little Acorn nut who grew into a great tree sheltering us all.
Unfortunately, the towering oak is rotten and hollow at the core.

Blade Runner's version of California will be looking pretty attractive compared to where that sh*t*ole state is heading.
You really are an idiot if you think this shit will fall only on CA or more of it will fall on CA than other places.
Geographic proximity is only one factor.
Obviously you are not familiar with radiation rain out (or snow out as the case may be.)
There are still people dying in Europe because they got heavy rains after Chernobyl...and these counites and cantons in Western Europe were not in close proximity to the reactor.
I can see the benefit it could provide SOME people and the abuse others would do with it.
