ah those food stamps, another freebie folks that don't need them is taking advantage of.
It's only all the OTHERS who are dirty profiteers, but you and your friends deserve it, because you were working hard all your life, or you had a lot of bad luck, or whatever. It's always OK for you, but all the others are lazy fucks.
I'm trying to change your thinking on that. Your government is not of the habit of giving "freebies". Take what they offer, because you either are ENTITLED to it or you NEED it, just like EVERYONE ELSE. Don't throw away Medicaid and Social Security for the LIE that some people are abusing it. You're fucking the 99+% of people who don't.
Don't be a TOOL for the wealthy who don't grant you these basics of modern civilization, so they can have even more money.
Cherish the tiny bit of social safety net that you still have in your godforsaken country. It's important for people's survival. It helps them maximize their potential. Bums in boxes are useless. Also, it might be you in that box, or someone you care about.
Don't assume you are safe, just because you worked hard all your life.
How different your tune is, than when you just voted for Trump. People were suffering from the high inflation and they couldn't buy groceries, remember. Now that Trump is crushing all those people to pulp, you're back to not giving a fuck. Very strange!
COVID set us back didn’t help either, because now there are men and women of various ages that have been able to stay home and receive government assistance.
at home, in the kitchen. Now they want them to work? I don't think so.
That effect of Covid was very short-lived. There is no government assistance anymore. However, there is still a remaining labor shortage. There are about 1.7 million missing workers. Some of them just died. Another big group is suffering from long covid. "Reduced Workforce Participation: An estimated 2 to 4 million working-age Americans have been unable to work due to long COVID, either temporarily or permanently."
Some young people stayed in school longer. When they started an education, it takes several years to finish it. There are indeed women who do not return to their job, because they are mothers now. Personally, I think that mothers and fathers need to share the working life, but I don't think both should work a full-time job. Parents should be able to provide for their children with at maximum 60 hrs/week total.
I’ve worked hard my entire life and in most of my years, there wasn’t just one job, I worked two jobs. Last year I jumped out of retirement to be a caregiver. There are jobs to be had by those that are motivated to do more than leach off of society.
Your last sentence in your last paragraph of your post,
"There are jobs to be had by those that are motivated to do more than leach off of society."
says it all. You either don't see or choose to ignore the needy who have no way to improve their lot in life. I'm glad you are healthy enough to work again, but, let's be real, most people that have to take help from the government are healthy enough to work and they already do.
And, BTW, leaches come in all forms for many reasons. But, they are not the norm.

Was he a comedian or a damn prophet?
I rarely choose to use vulgar language however that amount deserves a what the fuck can you buy/ how far can $23.00 at the grocery store? Geez Louise! On Sunday, after CHURCH, I stopped at a nearby Spartan market because I wanted some fruit, specifically I wanted apples. Spartan markets identify their house brand by the name of “OUR FAMILY”. I looked at a 3lb bag of Honey Crisp apples that were priced at $9.99. I asked a nearby grocery clerk whether that sign was accurate and she confirmed that it was. Can you believe it? A jaw dropping $3.33 per pound for Honey Crisp apples so I grabbed a 3lb bag of Fuji that was only $4.99!
Back to what $23.00 might buy at the local store, eggs aren’t as expensive as when I WHINED about them in Florida…. I can buy eggs at Kroger for under $3.00, actually they were $2.79 per dozen (I can’t afford organic cage free eggs). So yesterday I bought eggs at $2.79, a 3 pack of Romaine lettuce hearts ($3.99), a bottle of Kraft Salad Dressing on sale for $2.49, a generic $5.00 bag of lunch meat that was tagged as “oven roasted turkey”*, one can of Simple Truth organic Garbanzo beans ($1.25), Fairlife Ultra-Filtered lactose free low-fat milk (52 oz/$5.69)** and a I suspect you might be able to get a bag of white rice, too.
I spent slightly less than $22.00 yesterday and as you see, $23.00 doesn’t go far in Michigan! Would yesterday’s haul feed me for a month until my next $23.00 comes? Hell, NO!
* the generic bag of oven roasted turkey was packaged in a Kroger deli bag as if it was sliced and packaged upon request that morning. It tasted okay once I washed all the salt taste off of it. It definitely is not as tasty as Boar’s Head turkey that is $12.49 per lb.
** Fairlife Ultra-filtered milk priced at $5.69 for 52oz (12oz LESS THAN the standard 1/2 gallon) I’ve been buying this milk because it has a shelf life of 2 months. I am able to consume it all, there’s no spoilage, well worth the extra money I spend!

Also, it's very obvious you were never a mom. Not even close.
What state does the single mother of one live because that has some bearing on whatever it is you’re trying paint. Effective February 21, 2025, minimum wage in Michigan was set at $12.48. Per Google; “ The current minimum wage in Florida is $13.00 per hour, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. This rate applies to all workers in the state, including those in tipped positions, though tipped employees may be paid a lower direct wage with tips making up the difference. The minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $15.00 per hour by September 30, 2026, with annual increases of $1.00 until then according to the U.S. Department of Labor. ” YOU’RE WELCOME!
The way I see things is that there are a good deal of young people that want what their parent(s) have which they, the parent(s) worked years to acquire. GET REAL! There’s going to be years of peanut butter and jelly (if you can afford the jelly) , Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, store brand generic corn flakes instead of Cap’n Crunch, a plastic bag with unpopped popcorn as a treat instead of Doritos or Lays Potato Chips, Kool-Aid instead of Coca Cola. Life is all about making choices.
And as for being a single mother with one child that only works 32 hours per week, she better consider getting a second job. Furthermore, she should have given thought to her circumstances before deciding to bring a child into the world. How much responsibility do I have, as a taxpayer, to provide woman or man with “luxuries” that I cannot even justify for myself.
By the way, did you notice that Florida’s minimum wage of $13.00 includes those in tipped positions? When I return to Florida in October of November, maybe I will look for a 20 hour per week job tending bar or waitressing. I was a darn good “bartendress” back in the day. In my 37 year career working for a major healthcare provider I always maintained a second job. My primary job took care of my obligations, my second job was the “frosting on the cake”. Yeah, the second job provided me the extras. Yep, I have a decent stock portfolio, a waterfront home in Michigan, a place in Florida for the winter…. Life is all making choices.
Bella, I didn't want to have this apology get buried in the other part of the chat. I'll respond to the rest sometime later.
Where my concerns are are with the elderly, some not aware OR TOO PROUD to explore programs that help ease some of the financial burden with food, medicine, etc.. In my town/county there is a program that provides voucher(s) to seniors for fresh fruits, vegetables and eggs. I qualify based on my age however I am “proud” and feel that I can comfortably buy the things that I want and need. Am I going to complain about Honey Crisp apples being $9.99 for a 3lb bag? Heck YES!
By the way, thank you for the apology, that was very kind of you.
But even if you didn't work for 37+ years, those programs serve a need.
Americans are the hardest working people on the planet.
Cut your fellow Americans some slack.
I feel that the system is geared to provide the same number of programs and amenities to the dead beats as it is to ME, a hard working contributor and that is unfortunate .
If they fail in life, I don't want to have any blame for that.
Then there are lots of people who are just not smart and completely lacking of talent. Look at how stupid the average person is and then realize that 50% is stupider than them. About a quarter is not capable of surviving this modern world. Do we just give up on them? I say that would be a waste of potential. They can pull their weight,
if we help them a bit. It's for our own benefit as much as theirs.
I don't think it's unfortunate that a contributor like me is not getting the same as someone who under-performs. The whole intent is to help the ones who need it.
I don't need anything anymore, but society helped me get to where I am.
Save it for the people who need it, so we help them contribute too. Also, I was lucky so far, but everyone is at risk of their luck running out. When it does, I want society to help me out, just as I want to help out everyone who is shit out of luck now.
Don't think this is all sympathy for poor people. It's mostly selfish. I want to live
in a nice world. You are just extras. I want you to be cheerful in my movie of life, because I don't like dramas.
The Trumps and the Vances and the Dgraffs and the Bellas, can believe what they want. I know, yes, I know, better.
Do I think that dgraff is “milking the system”, no, I think he is participating in programs that he is eligible and qualifies for.

It is paid for through our taxes though but it's a hell of a lot better to know if you have a serious medical issue you are not going to have to sell your house to get through it.
there are so many fat women out there that give pussy to anything that is male so they can have baby after baby and get a bigger check each month. it's not rare it is common. that needs to be fixed. overseas, you may not see it because it would ruin the propaganda you are fed there.
mothers should want to be there for their kids,even if it does mean they can't carry the latest iphone or guchi bag. it is their natural role in the human race to care for the young.
It has continued to slide even as President Trump has backed down from his tariff threats and the U.S. stock market has recovered from its losses.

I liked it, a lot.
But it provided me with a whole different perspective than it did for phart.
Are you also realizing how much capitalism critique is contained in this video?
It's all a guide for protecting yourself against greedy assholes, trying to screw you.
I think that voting for Trump is also capitalism critique. Many people voted for Trump, because they are tired of how capitalism has fucked them over for the last decades.
Trump promised something different. He's a lying fuck, who doesn't give a damn about you, but Americans are easily fooled. That's because most of you are indoctrinated to believe fairy-tales from a 2000 year old book. If you believe that, you believe everything.
That's the whole reason for why the wealthy fund religion.
Trump has completely abandoned the idea of free global trade, one of the basic principles of capitalism. That's capitalism critique.
Also, your whole anti-immigrant rhetoric is based on the idea that the "filthy brown people" are coming for your jobs. That's also capitalism critique. If you hadn't deregulated capitalism, so they wouldn't be able to pick cheap immigrants over you, that would not be your concern. (unless you just hate brown people, of course)

If he is a criminal, for hiring 'illegals', as your Assistant Secretary Dept. of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin said, why is he not in jail awaiting trial right now. He is clearly facilitating 'illegals'.
alot of folks fought and died back in the 1700's to get us out from under a kings thumb.
And so it starts. Best interest of the country? Why not let Israel handle it. Why involve us in another war we have no business being in.
if there ever was a good case of what if, this would be it, do you really want God pissed off at you or your nation?
"The Bible contains verses that are interpreted as indicating God's favor towards those who support Israel and his promise to bless those who bless Abraham's descendants. This is often linked to the Abrahamic Covenant in Genesis 12:3, where God promises to bless those who bless Abraham and his descendants. Some Christians believe this passage extends to the modern nation of Israel and therefore support the nation's existence and well-being. "
You can try to make all the excuses you want. It WAS declaration of war. Illegal too.
to me, Trump swore and took a oath to protect America and eliminating a threat of nukes in the hands of radicals is fulfilling that oath.
If this was right, you wouldn't be scrambling for an excuse. And, BTW, I told you and others, I don't care what you believe or think about my views. Your flawed views don't make it any less true. The Clown King broke the law.
when you forget history, or erase it as many democrats do, you repeat it.
you and folks like you,are the reason this country is so fucked up. sometimes when shit has hit the fan, you have to go to extreme measures to clean things up.
Trump inherited a mess. 4 years of some other asshole using autopen to sign things biden didn't even know were going on. now that he is dying of cancer, that is mighty convenient for those that used him during that 4 years. alot of crime there that you wouldn't support investigating because you like the results
1) does Iran have nuclear weapons or are they close to it?
2)did the Clown’s own security advisors tell him Iran did NOT have nuclear weapons or close to having it?
3) what “mess” are you talking about? If it’s so obvious then you should be able to be specific.
4) why are my groceries and other staples so high? Higher than Biden’s term?
5)why are so many other world leaders condemning the attack?
6)why are Americans held in so low esteem that it’s being suggested to not travel abroad?
7) Congress is controlled by Republicans. Why aren’t there any investigations on Biden or his term of office?
So, Mr Phart, besides farting into the wind, what have you got except a bad smell?
concentrate on how things got where they are.
you are able to google. the autopen thing is going on right now.his doctor is being questioned shortly in congress.
get with the now if it is so important to you.
other world leaders are condemning the attack because they are afraid it will upset their apple carts of money and oil under the table bypassing sanctions.
And, still, you can't justify anything. You are all talk but no proof. And you certainly can't keep it on the subject.
We did pursue an air war but the real #1 enemy was Japan.
You can minimize it, excuse it, whatever, but, the Clown King committed an act of war and Iran sees it as so.
Again, don’t put words in my mouth. I don’t hate Jews and some of my closest friends are Jews. Your “theory” is beneath you.
oh yea, iran just decided to close the strait to block oil shipments. so um, do we sit back and wait or do we blow the bastards out of the water and keep moving oil?
"well if you don't mind israel being blown off the map, there must be some reason,"
You don't know me. You know my politics and my social leanings. You even know my sexual mores, but, you really don't know me.
If you want to make this personal, okay, but at least tell me. I can do personal and everyone knows it.

And what Jane Fonda told you
The Rules of Engagement (ROE) for U.S. soldiers
2. Key Principles:
Positive Identification (PID):
Soldiers must have a reasonable certainty that a target is a legitimate military target before engaging it.
Proportionality:
The force used should be proportionate to the threat, meaning the harm caused should not be excessive in relation to the military advantage gained.
Distinction:
Military forces must distinguish between combatants and civilians, and between military objectives and protected objects like hospitals or cultural sites.
Precautions in Attack:
Soldiers must take reasonable precautions to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects during an attack.
“Self-Defense:
Soldiers have the right to defend themselves and their unit from attack.”
Minimizing Collateral Damage:
ROE aim to limit collateral damage, which is unintended harm to civilians and civilian objects.

" been fighting so long they don't know what the FUCK to do!! "
you can agree with that can't you?
and by the way, it is back down to prebomb levels already wholesale, so this bump,yet again, is just the sellers taking advantage of us
In any case, you already have many kings; they all shared Trump's stage at his inauguration. They all have more money than my king and much more influence on your government. They are also immune from the law, when they brake the law.
They are no king by title, but they rule over you like no king in Europe did in at least
a century.
