Please remember that Amsterdam is not representative for The Netherlands ;D
It's a bit like NYC and the rest of the USA
That said, local government in Amsterdam is quite weird and relatively corrupt
-

Yes, visiting Amsterdam would actually have you almost believe the Dutch have the possibility to be friendly...but when you visit the more rural towns you realise they're not so friendly and very, very, very arrogant. Most arrogant in Europe? After the French, for sure
-
sounds like a good idea
let the drunks be drunk like they want to be and make some use of 'em
-
Amsterdam really is different from many cities in the world
Red Light District, Paying people in Beer, all the Weed etc
Seems like a happy city in general
Whats the crime-rate in Amsterdam compared to, let's say Detroit?

I have a real chip on my shoulder against the Dutch. I fucking hated living there. I was over visiting friends 2 weekends ago and I got caught for 2 speeding tickets by the immigration guy at airport. You wanna know how much it cost me to get outta there without going to jail? 650 euros on the spot. The fines were ramped up plus I was late paying my APK by a month (Dutch vehicle road worthyness cert) before selling the car/leaving the country. FUCKING WANKERS!!!!

The only city I ever had anyone attempt to rob me was Amsterdam. Me and a buddy got off the beaten path a bit and a group of Africans tried. We told them to go fuck themselves and they walked away bewildered. Probably thought were tourist wussies from France. Lol.

There is no way he would clean streets for beer when he can suck the cocks that he loves for his alcohol.

So they're taking away work that could be done by a private company creating jobs and hiring people. Since that company would be incentivized to keep the contract they do a better job, create a better product and increase the salaries on trained employees. Instead you have government spending tax money that could be used for private investment, monopolizing work/labor and reducing the tax base. Better yet it encourages alcoholics by providing them means to continue their addiction.
'cradle to grave...thanks big daddy!' ::)

Less than Detroit, but unfortunately local government is very soft on crime. That's why there are so many eastern european pick pocketers around...they also do burglaries.
Violence usually comes from north-africans (from morocco and such) and blacks that mostly have a surinam or dutch antilles background.
Take the usual precautionary measures you would in any major city

why not? People pay this jerk off to clean their toilets

650 euros (about 883 us dollars) is quite a lot for two speeding tickets...fines are ramped up if you don't pay them within the time period that is mentioned on the ticket.
APK (technical survey) is to make sure cars on the road are safe for both driver and other road users. It's a technical yearly or bi-yearly check-up of each car. It makes traffic a lot safer. Holland has about 30% less traffic deaths than say...Ireland for example :P

This is still getting around; maybe other countries might try food instead of beer. Or food with beer.

Amsterdam keeps streets clean by hiring alcoholics to pick up trash in exchange for beer
Amsterdam furthers its claim as the coolest country in the world by supporting The Rainbow Group, which givie homeless alcoholics beer in exchange for picking up trash. It’s like “Cash for Gold” but way better.
Alcoholics are being paid in beer to clean the streets of Amsterdam as part of a project partly funded by the Dutch government – the organisers think other countries should abandon “old-fashioned political correctness” and adopt the same approach.
I’m sure this isn’t as helpful as tossing a backpack at the problem, but it sounds a lot more fun. Drinkers get to drink, and all they have to do is pick up a little trash? Where do I sign up?
I say that i jest, as I know homelessness and alcoholism is a serious issue, but when all else fails you can either give up on people or try something unconventional. In addition to beer, in quantities unknown, the Rainbow Group provides shelter and food to those in its program.
While not everyone will love the idea of feeding an addiction, apparently everyone in the neighborhood loves it. The area where the homeless congregate has also seen a drop in murders and stabbings, so the program is doing more than just beautifying the streets.
I highly doubt will see anything like this in the U.S. due to the inevitable moral outrage, but I’m glad someone is thinking outside the box.

Typical Irish trying to skip out on your debts.

Australia's Darwin should follow Amsterdam example :)

Many alcoholics are beyond rescue, and cost society a lot of money (also crime related). This Amsterdam project will cost a lot of taxpayer money, but hopefully less than letting such addicts wander around. At least they do something useful now
