#1 "It saves money". Get away from saving money and get a profit center. Think Soylent Green.

#2 I think he meant to say it saves them money, then it makes sense. Or he's an idiot.

#8 I'm not an alcoholic, homeless, or a counselor to alcoholics. I thought even one drink for an alcoholic was too many.

#9 I don’t want to be a naysayer, but serving a homeless man a free of vodka does not prevent the homeless man from finding more alcohol someplace else. Maybe the program includes some DMV bureaucracy to waste a bunch of his time.
