I observed something similar at the Morton's Steak House on Connecticut Ave in D.C. some years back. I distinctly remember this one K street thug boast "I'm here to get money from the government for my clients...that's why were all here". The laughter from all at the table was almost instinctive.

I doubt the clients referred to above are any of those you saw idling about. Those "people in Dorchester" you referred to are not the only ones waiting on handouts.

Corporate welfare is very real.

And by the way, It's Blue Hill Avenue.
