Florida prisoners should have their institutional work count toward Social Security benefits.
This policy would recognize their labor's value and provide a safety net upon release, aiding reintegration into society.
Most inmates engage in various forms of work, contributing to prison operations and gaining skills.
Excluding them from Social Security undermines their economic stability and increases the risk of recidivism.
Additionally, recognizing their work ensures fairness and aligns with broader labor rights.
Ultimately, counting institutional work toward Social Security would foster rehabilitation, reduce reoffending, and affirm the dignity of incarcerated individuals.
All this global speech that once lauded your greatness has vanished.
My lips are crying today because of my misdeeds.
The harvest was completely washed away in the high winds.
Diseases and sicknesses, with fire, threaten scavengers.
Because I am shy, I cry slowly and sloppily.
If someone's feelings are bruised, a wipe may be beneficial.
Companions with crooked mustaches.
Backstabbing and spying are both kinds of treachery.
Who grasps what happened to the planet Earth.
Shame no longer benefits them, so why would they desire it?
An anxious atmosphere pervaded the air.
I'm here to assist you, and I'm grateful to God for this gift.
A natural area has been cordoned off.
The headbands must be reconnected.
Probe the misanthrope and share the etch news.
The sand on the road will cease if they reach their home.
If I yield barefoot, my final inference is consciousness.

January 12 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 35-37
Key Verse– Genesis 35: 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply…
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO SAYS THAT HE IS ALMIGHTY
Praise be to God for telling us that He is God Almighty Who:
Constantly pours good limitless blessings
Consistently provides gracious learning benefits
Continuously performs great love-bestowment best
Ceaselessly practices grand life-building business
Genesis 36:31 Praise be to the Lord for being our reigning King of:
Sovereign dominion
Steady direction
Sure discretion
Sturdy decision
Genesis 37:22 Praise be to the Almighty for delivering us from:
Pit of sinful destruction
Peril of satanic deception
Profit of selfish defense
Perversion of seductive doctrine
Genesis 37:35 Praise be to the Saviour for comforting us with His Words so:
True we can always trust
Timely we can cling to while in trials
Thoughtful we can tell in our testimony
Triumphant we can share with others who are being tested. Amen!

going crazy is not so bad
floating on air as a result has its benefits
when you land on your feet, surprising is the lightness that is felt
imagine the art of the most beautiful snowfall
the happiness within replaces the stresses of everyday life
you do not worry about the frigidity
the love throughout overtakes and a special kind of peace takes face
the beauty of it all replaces the normal and the bland
colors unknown are exposed exponentially
the aftermath is the start of the ending, but nobody really seems to mind
finally in the external center of an internal yearning, we gladly go crazy....
You're funny why you always have been impatient when it came to the simply pleasures of life fighting over phone time finally sending me all those cards birthday valentine days Christmas Easter or just thinking of you the cat putting his paws in the fish tanks finally your release leaving Liza and my ex at home while we drove fast down palm beach blvd with the top down you really thought that was paradise broken pink flamingos dolphins on the walls I'm really sorry about your big Mexican broad stabbing five persons your trying to get her time cut my god ciro I can't even be apart of that therefore leave me out of this I cared for ma you know come on man Mandy jay Townsend Johnson Henry both my abusive ex night crawlers literally fleas stuck on his back hoping I fund flea soap I won't I'm not I am blessed to be free of florida medicaid God has my back I no longer fear her criminal group hospital system breach hacking into thousands of ill persons lives getting their benefits removed hell Medicaid was the reason corruption was able to hack into my life resulting in a class action law suit files against florida medicaid for removing millions of disabled persons illegally my disability has nothing to do with medicaid thank god for morgan and morgan law firm sorry not sorry I hope you got your heart medication cancer treatment God bless you I cannot focus on those arson murders of nine it causes stress anxiety that has triggered severe asthma attacks interrupting my breathing im now trying to get my breathing stablized with oxygen nebulizer I am sure you could care less this is stressful being threatened everyday realized you maxed that traumatic brain injury structured settlement clearly by now you understand i can't support your enterprise corruption organized crime many blessings I am American
Okay ya gotta think happy
It's the only way to fly
Sad stuff isn't welcome here
Giggles are in big supply
Only smiles and happy faces
Are welcome to cross this threshold
Happy talk is all that's spoken
Benefits are a hundredfold
You're not dreaming I promise
It's a happy state of mind
You'll never ever want to leave again
A resident for the rest of time
Wonder why you didn't visit sooner
Wasted years on the other side
With life up to now, don't need to worry
You've sure got nothing to hide
We welcome you into this club of ours
We think you should fit right in
Honored and thankful we trust you'll be
Just always wear a dirty big grin
Sometime soon many of you may get kicked around some.
Who knows, maybe you'll get picked up taken away and held for treason.
One day soon many of you will be picked at random
and all who supported you will revel in their abandon.
Everyone appears to be right on coarse
of blindly following our leaders and accepting their wars
while our children continue to get slayed in the name of fighting terrorists.
A War That Will Never End, that's what this is.
Everyone still refuses to see
how we're all losing our civil liberties.
Well, it doesn't really matter to me
if I'm seen as a tin foil hat wearing paranoid of conspiracy theories
or if I'm seen as the unknown, unpatriotic enemy
because everybody has always had to fight to live free
and I refuse to live my life as a refugee.
I can't spell it out any more clearly,
The Bush's are major conglomerates of the oil and weapons manufacturing industry.
They possess billions upon billions of dollars in contracts with the military
and are opting for, if not already a total oil industry monopoly.
So who benefits from this war on terror truly?
Who does indeed? Who does indeed?
I don’t start off thinking it’s a priority to insult
so if you end up offended it’s probably your fault
opinions can be devisive
one will speak and another won’t like it
offensive views are realised
Someone’s mental state is in a crisis
Start throwing sticks and stones
Hire a wolf to blow down homes
Easily offended and always prone
vacated adults who like to moan
We live in a world of victim mentality
grouped together in a cause for humanity
those historical tales filled with the brutality
though not our experience or actuality
as a white man I’m supposed to have it easy
the call for equality means no one sees me
because I cannot call on some ancient history
when I had the advantage in a previous century
A single man isn’t given a house to live in
that the same man with children would be given
raising kids on benefits who don’t make a living
and yet no one cares if single men are driven
When girls become pregnant they are given homes
A gifted blessing though the father’s unknown
while these single men must survive on their own
and they say equality favours the man alone
Men disagree and the situation turns physical
women disagree and spread tales that ridicule
so what if men and women are disagreeable
advantage to the female practiced at cynical
Because men don’t play mind games with men
it’s just too much effort to ever waste on them
whereas women play these games over again
the opposite gender that males can’t threaten
so LGBT and women are historically lesser
and we must respect Black Lives Matter
in a white mans world white men are better
though at a disadvantage if they ain’t clever
In todays world the cause gets prioritised
at the piles base every white man alive
the message we bully and must step aside
making up for history before we were alive
And yet we are not victims and are not offended
I guess my grandfather lived a life most splendid
and my generation are now expected to mend it
in a white mans world that must be defended
Don’t ever forget just who built this city
with the sections of it now demanding pity
who have equal rights and the same opportunities
you should reap the rewards not focus on scrutiny
Being friends with benefits
Isn't such a perfect fit
When one wants to be exclusive
But the other one wont give
Permission for this to grow
Into something more that flows
Between two hearts stitched together
Being stubborn they will never
Notice the look in your eyes
Saying that you want to tie
Your love up like a grand gift
They just need to gently lift
The lid that is blocking theirs
Releasing all the hurt and fears
Stopping commitments so true
Like the one inside of you
Patiently you softly urge
Their scared heart to slowly merge
And meet with the warmness of
Your caring and sweet soft touch
That will clear out all the demons
Never having a good reason
To leave--causing no more pain
Till it was showed how to gain
Trust that will always be there
Giving love without the fear
Bible is indeed God's love letter to me
branded as divinely-authored Scriptures, building-up my faith...
Beautifully expressing Christ's care for my being and becoming
bringing me His best blessings along kingdom ministerial business...
Bountifully providing for my nourishment
bracing my life with benefits of heaven's bonuses...
Broadening my born-again experience
biblical principles banish burdens of my soul the Saviour breaks...
Buttressing my spirit upon beatitudes and virtues
Bible is the Word* of the Lord, I believe!
*Psalm 18:30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
