Screw that.

Its not true. Bus drivers know. Uber drivers know. The cops knew.

And the Parkland student’s March For Our Lives had nobody who came for trouble from the outside? Nobody was angry and yelling? Didn’t see cop cars mow anybody down there.

Here’s a recipe for the hardened. I knew a guy who was part of a jail group of weight trainers who wanted to get pumped up. They thought the way to do that was to eat protein following a big workout. So all of them stashed away all of their protein (velveta cheese, butter substitute, powdered milk, meat…

Generalizing about people who are incarcerated is just dumb.

Exactly. Prison food is wasteful. Poorly chosen ingredients poorly prepared, which make for depressed, malnourished prisoners. Doesn’t have to be. I highly suspect that kickbacks in suppliers is a huge factor in deciding food vendors, and the types of food which are purchased.

Yes, but there’s one very important distinction. In the military there are breaks, furloughs, transfers, termination of service. You can look out 6 months and know you’ll be nourished again and can binge on pizza or chocolate bars. There’s hope.

I volunteer in a prison and dread it when I’m scheduled to share a meal there. This article has good descriptions, much of the food is unrecognizable, (as in, is this soup, gravy, or grits) and its hard to respond to it with the natural instinct of hunger. To make it worse, I know the guys trade favors with the…

I just watched David Hogg get a very affectionate interview on CNN about some right wing smears that have targeted him and his group. The host was so sympathetic, she seemed to want to hold him and sing a lullaby.

This is tragic and will end an incredibly effective way for young people to earn a valuable education in how utterly shitty and abusive people are in the real world.

I’m not going to jump on any 14 year old, but it would have been nice if from the get go everyone in the country could have marveled over how well spoken and articulate, courteous, serious, intelligent, beautiful, the black kids are, way they did when they fell in love with the white ones. All I can say to Hogg and…

EBT in my state is food stamps, there is no cash and no coverage for rent, utilities, health care etc. I believe the normal usage for the term welfare pertains to exactly the things food stamps don’t cover. And you can’t be eligible for food stamps without an address.

In the last 10 years?

I found it maddening that Brooks chose to describe his demographic as “white and male”, but left off “rich”.

Educate yourself about welfare before you say it is a thing.

I was on a jury where a young day laborer fell through an unmarked hole in a floor on a construction site and hurt his back badly. We awarded him $850,000. About half was based negligence and half on pain and suffering.
