Two years then quits. Seems like a Palin tradition at this point.

Thank you! The issue with SNAP is lack of funds and an excess of beurocratic bullshit. The concept (give people money so they can eat) is a perfectly sound one that works well when it is properly funded (although obviously larger systemic poverty issues, like food deserts, can still be an issue). Every study I have…

Is it though, at it’s center? As a legal aid attorney who works with welfare recipients, I see two problems with SNAP.

This whole thing is so heartbreaking. I work with low-income uninsured folks and people will judge them because they have their hair and nails done. First off you don’t know if she paid for that or traded something like childcare with someone.

This reminds me of late 19th/early 20th century theories that we should prevent the poor from eating exotic, stimulating foods like garlic because they cause the blood to be warm. The poor would luxuriate in that tasty Italian food and therefore not work, as opposed to the hardworking, deserving Northern Europeans…

I’ve had a personal bad streak for many, many years. However, I could justify any of my personal suffering as long as there was “hope” for the country, even if it was vague and made up. It’s not that the job market was much better in 2015, it’s not like my ability to move up into the middle class was much better, but…

Maybe less than 1% is happy.

Alright College Cost Rant Here: It’s a rigged system. Rich kids don’t have to take out money but most of the middle to lower class does. Rich kids come out of college debt free, some going to grad school and some entering work force all with zero debt. Poor kids struggle with debt just to get by, regardless of what…

You’re not entirely wrong, but I think the country would improve with fewer and smaller student loans. More education isn’t a bad thing, and being able to get through college without a mountain of debt isn’t a bad thing either.

It doesn’t matter what would actually stimulate the economy, because the tax cut was never about stimulating the economy. It was about making the donors happy, and any notion of stimulating the economy is 100% pure marketing.

“A lot of people use the term Oil Galleys, but that’s completely the wrong term. A galley is the kitchen on a ship.”

“Roux doesn’t belong in gumbo”

Lol fuck off with that disingenuous bullshit. Almost every day in my line of work I deal with sexism ranging from mild (assuming I’m someone’s assistant, assuming I don’t know anything about motorsports) to someone’s unprofessionalism toward me being excused by his manager with “well he’s getting a divorce right now…

$kay is consistently fatphobic, antagonistic, and misogynistic whenever women are concerned, but I guess no one cares about that as long as they can trot her COTDs out to say “see, she’s cool with it, therefore it’s ok!” which is bullshit because women are plenty capable of perpetuating misogyny but it doesn’t excuse…

And as a woman who is an engineer in the auto industry, you really have no idea what you’re talking about. Alanis isn’t “pinning women against each other” by pointing out that the men in charge literally just want eye candy despite pretending to be ahead of the times.

I find it hard to believe that they don’t have a busy agenda outside of F1 races. Those are not that frequent, you know.

I thought the grid kids was a creative, positive solution for everyone involved. I’m really disappointed if they’re Formula E is stepping away from that. Maybe I’m just weird, but I don’t see sporting events of any variety as a flimsy secondary premise to “look at chicks.”

Annnnnnd here we go!

It needs to be family leave not maternity leave, especially as many of us have aging Boomer parents.
