What do you have in mind here? I have a hard time believing people would be upset if you offer them "free" money.
- hluska 9y agoI have visions of problems coming from both ends of the political spectrum. I can almost hear a far right commentator talk about how giving out free money is an insult to paying customers who work hard for their money and got ahead by their own mettle. At the other end of the spectrum, I can almost hear a far left commentator talk about how this is the same old crony capitalism, dressing up marketing in generosity's clothes. Edit - I should note that I highly doubt recipients would be anything but grateful. My concerns lie with an often very vocal minority who do occasionally create massive PR problems.
