Anyone who says that should get tackled to the ground. If gun control is not the first thing you’re thinking about before you’re even done reading about what happened then you truly do not give a fuck.

The kid was known to have mental issues. He was known to be obsesssd with and collect guns. He killed animals for fun. He was barred from coming to the school with a backpack due to violent threats. His social media presence is that of a textbook school shooter. The other kids joked about him shooting up the school.…

Don’t forget lady Gaga.

Wages have stalled while housing has soared, utilities and necessities have increased, and benefits and pensions are disappearing entirely. And they’re going after social security.

I didn’t mean for my tone to come off so harsh but I read my comment and I can see that it did. My annoyance is for this proposal, not for your discussion of it. That said I don’t think there’s any reason to come up with ways this proposal could work because there is no need for this proposal at all. I wasn’t under…

Adjusting for inflation and cost of living, to match the buying power of the minimum wage in the late 70s (so not far off), minimum wage today would have to be around $22.50. Our most liberal representatives are having a hard time pushing the $15 initiative. I’ve worked for $2.38+tips, $4, $7, $10 & $12, as well as…

How many times have I heard someone go off about some fictional aid recipient, detailing how they conduct themselves with disgust and never realizing that they are accurately describing half their family. Fuck these people.

I don’t understand how he thinks people are trying to erase the white race? I just don’t follow. Do not get.

Yeah my grandparents ate this shit most of their young adult/adult lives and goddamn. Nothing good to fucking say. In our current food economy this proposal is nothing but a fuck you.

They need to come up with contracts to award to their donors!

I mean but he is literally saying food stamp recipients are beggars. Like word for word.

God I hope he and his whole family end up in jail or social pariahs.

I cooked spam and scrapple for my mom growing up. She was raised by people who went through it in the depression era. Good news though: I feel you’re into that shit, you can currently purchase canned meats with foodstamps, and without awarding some money wasting contract to some republican campaign donor. Most of us…

People forget why we have “society” and government in the first place. Their level of understanding of reality is child like to the point of delusion.

Point 1 is that we don’t need to change the current system. Point 2, a fresh direct version of foodstamps presents 100x more logistical issues than it solves. Point 3, this type of system does not allow for a multitude of mundane situations like running to the store at dinner time to get the last ingredient etc. etc.

Also relevant: the process of qualifying for any assistance is extremely rigorous and time consuming. If you’ve been honest about your income, qualified for assistance, and then you spend $95 on a steak you are gonna starve that month and there’s no backup program to bail you out of that. If you LIED about your…

And the only reason they are allowed to turn a profit at such low prices is because their workers are able to sign up for snap themselves. Corporations are the welfare queens.

Thank you. I find it very difficult to believe this particular initiative will get past basic training. It’s beyond ineffective to problematic and pointless to boot.

I’m vegan and I’ve had foodstamps. My diet is actually cheaper to fund since it contains no meat or dairy products (expensive) and as a broke person I cook from scratch anyway so I don’t buy expensive processed items. WIC was actually really difficult for me to use since it gives you a set of monthly checks, each with…

How can she use WIC and complain about foodstamps. Omg.
