Good. "Resist white supremacy" is not only nonsense, it's typically code by Antifa shitheads and far-leftists to support their violent tantrums.

Why are you defending white supremacists come on dude

Why, indeed? I mean, I know why. Any reasonable person should know why, for that matter.

Is that not how it done now? If not, yes I think that's how it should work. I know that's how WIC was done when we used it and how our boys qualify for Medicaid now.

Remember that "would you qualify to immigrate to America under Trump" multiple choice thing a few months ago? That's how they do it in most states, fill out the info, provide proof of income, and then you get the card not long after some beauracrat visually confirms the proof of income aspect. The "you need to reapply to keep enrolled" thing is automatic and has you generally get a phone call or mail, or both.

It's expensive to run a panel that would review and determine how much you get, plus human biases, plus there's the whole "how would somebody with no money who gets told they don't qualify for much or any at all appeal" thing.

The fact you think that's how it is done shows you havenhavent bothered to educate yourself on the matter, yet you can speak with such conviction on why it's a terrible system. Imagine that.

Of course people are defending the fired employees without actually asking for evidence.

Applebee's conducted an investigation and thought it was bad enough that they fired, not justthew server, but the one who made the claim against the consumers AND the manager.

It isn't just them trying to save face for PR, they'd have at least saved the manager and moved them to a different location if that were the case

IIRC, the Japanese population were about as brainwashed as North Korean is today. Without a show of force for demoralization, maintaining control of Japan would have likely have been difficult.

It really wasn't. That "militaristic nation" identity was propagandist material used to garner public support. This is after the US made and implemented Japanese interment camps, no less.

The first bomb was more than enough to completely shut down Japan which was already preparing to surrender. The first one got Japan to hasten all of their proceedings. But America then dropped a second one to obtain an unconditional surrender. Basically, if they hadn't got that unconditional surrender, they'd have no doubt continued dropping nuclear warheads.

So what, they should just starve after a certain point?

Any increased scrutiny or limitations on renewal will always affect those with disabilities and those unable to improve their situation. Your obsession with starving them in order to feel like you aren't being used is terrible. Even moreso if you never bother complaining about the massive corporations receiving government money and incentives without having to actually create or move jobs to the US.

Get your priorities straight because the latter also accounts for most of your tax dollars.

I do think EBT should not work for snack food like cookies and chips because they have low or no nutritional value so they can pay out of pocket if they want that.

I also think it should be a maximum of 6 months. If you can't get your stuff together in 6 months to be able to pay your bills, you aren't putting in the effort. When I quit my life insurance job, I had a new job not even a month later even though it was December which is generally when places don't hire.


To qualify for SNAP, if you're an able bodied adult with no kids, you already need to have a job. If you don't have a job, you're disqualified after 3 months.

At which point about 95% of the people just renew the process and start over.

And still qualify because
1) they're paying for the benefits
2) they still qualify because their income is not high enough

The only "welfare queens" living off the government are multi billion dollar corporations. Especially with the recent tax reforms.

But sure, let's get mad that the people in the lowest rung of society get to eat and have choice in their food, and on occasion may indulge.

Capitalism, where being unable to provide for yourself is bad and you get no help, but if you're rich and fail you get bailed out and get to try again and again and never have to actually create new jobs.


That's a false dichotomy though. And for the record, I don't think they shouldn't be able to ever indulge. Just from personal experience working as a cashier many many years ago though, the funds aren't being utilized as efficiently as they could be in most cases.

A smarter system could mean less people actually go hungry. Are you more concerned over whether people have a certain level of luxury? Or an absolute number of people getting the food they require? Because SNAP that only covers cost effective foods, for say 80% of the allocated funds, with room for a few indulgent purchases would allow either broader/wider coverage of people who are eligible, or to reduce how much is paid out for the system.
She's worried about her narrative.

That said my wife and I got WIC with both our babies. Here is a program that really helps ny using guidelines as to how the dollar amount can be spent so that parents, if irresponsible, still end up using WIC to benefit their children more than themselves. This a program I think is good and EBT could take some lessons from. I don't think EBT should only provide shit food for families in need. But some guidelines would help keep people so intent to abuse the system from doing so.


It's hardly a narrative, it's a genuine concern because unlike you, many will never be able to escape being poor and dependency upon others to support them.

Oh, plus there's those who work but the wages are so low they qualify for and need EBT to survive. For instance, employees at many Walmart locations.
I actually worked at Walmart back in 2011 for a bit because it paid better than unemployment. And yeah it was a struggle. I donated plasma to supplement my wages. I'm not saying that EBT is a bad thing. Just that it needs to be refined. Like how in the 90's working in a convience store I see five kids come in with a dollar food stamp each, each buy a 10 cent candy and then go to the car for the adult to come in and use that change to buy beer or cigs. No not all people abuse the system. But every step we take to insure government aid is used in the best possible way to benefit the recipients and stop the abusers is good. Even if that means people on EBT have to buy lobster with their own cash.


Do you think EBT allotments should be determined by panels on a case by case basis? For instance, taking their employability in to account, rent costs in that area, etc.?

I think we understand supporting people is good. But supporting people doesn't also have to equate to providing them 5 star meals and delicacies many middle class individuals do not routinely buy themselves.

And without capitalism, we wouldn't be where we are now. Let me know of a nation that is ripe with freedom, prosperity, wealth and technology that doesn't follow a capitalistic model.

And also let me know if you want to move somewhere else. And if so, where?


Such luxuries could readily be afforded if the surplus were not allowed to fall in to the hands of individuals. Jeff bezos, richest man in history, is praised while there's regular articles about unsafe and unethical working conditions, such as overworking employees.

One thing people always overlook when they pull that "this isn't possible without capitalism" line is that for millennia prior to capitalism arising? People still would have researched and created things to aid in the advancement of various aspects of life. Even under capitalism, there's always been people who went out of their way to further studies in various scientific fields so as to advance those subjects and society as a whole. If anything, capitalism has held us back in recent decades as demonstrated by the fact that research and the like is so expensive that researchers on the cutting edge of their fields are almost always stuck in an endless loop of seeking funding through grants and the like to continue their research.

That sounds like you just don't have the capacity to actually address or respond to anything I said, and rather than acknowledge the flaws that exist in your arguments, you simply refuse to engage. Of course that would also entail that you have zero interest in actually informing others of your views in an attempt to actually get them to reconsider their own views.

Alternatively (or in conjunction with that), you simply say stuff to bait a response so you can then straw man other viewpoints at a later time.

This idea is incredibly unsustainable and fiscally irresponsible.

Ah, yes. A program that makes up what, 0.3% of the national budget is unsustainable. But decreasing taxes for the ultra rich is. It's just a coincidence that they're currently cutting finding abysmally low amounts of the budget that go towards programs that help people.


So you firmly believe that people who work should be obligated to feed the people who don't want to?

Can you at least slightly understand why working class people don't want to have to pay the burden for the career unemployed?


So as a member of society, it has been a commonly understood concept that you have an obligation to help provide for others around you. Shanidar 1 is an example from 35,000-45,000 years ago of a disabled person who lived well into adulthood despite being unable to actually contribute to society.

In our capitalist system, there can only be ultra wealthy people if workers are not paid for the proper value of their labor, and the surplus is extracted as profit that goes to those who did not do such work. This system also is flawed because in spite of the fact that automation is supposed to improve the quality of our lives, it only really benefits those who extract the value of labor from others. Then there's the fact that it does not accommodate for those who are unable to work full time or at all, as disabilities of all kinds exist.

Basically? If somebody has an issue with supporting somebody else and they cite capitalism as the reason for their views? They need to shut the hell up, and remove themselves from society until they reevaluate their lives and realize that the progress and uplifting of all members of society should take priority over their own moral hang ups from being born in to a manipulative system that abuses them.

Or, get this, we cut our military budget that is larger than the next several highest budgets of military spending from countries across the world. Then we use that money to actually give everyone universal healthcare, streamline it and medicine so people can actually live and not die of preventable reasons, make college or university cost less, and oh, maybe universal basic income which has been shown in practice to boost the economy because more people will have money to actually put back in to the economy.

It's hardly a false dichotomy. It's literally the facts that people put the blame on those without money, while those who have money can make bad mistakes but get bailed out. There's also studies galore showing that it takes several years of extremely good financial planning and nothing bad happening to get out of poverty.

It is correct that you can't buy junk food with SNAP, right?

IIRC you can't buy prepared food, which would include a lot of prepackaged stuff

If it is heated up, they can't sell you it and you can't heat it up in the store afterwards

So none of those nachos at 7/11 for instance

But slurpies? You can buy them with snap as long as the straw isn't opened and in it. Because in that case it would be ready to consume.

Hmm. I had SNAP for a few months and one of the things they stressed was that you aren't allowed to buy food for anyone else. But I do see how it probably is limited only to "in exchange for something else"


most likely, the intent is that in providing food for someone else, you may prevent them from applying for their own SNAP benefit. which they would qualify for if they need gifts of food from an existing SNAP beneficiary.

basically they want you to eat what you get and anyone else who needs food to get it from them

but they are not gonna come after you for helping someone for free. charity is never illegal.


Well, with exceptions like "you can't give food to homeless people without a permit and food handler's licenses" or "you can't give homeless people sleeping bags in the downtown area" because some cities are awful like that.

Does anyone know if there are any stats on how often someone with 'food stamps' sells them at a lower cost for cash?


SNAP collects fraud data on this very specific, exact as you wrote, action

https://www.fns.usda.gov/fraud/what-snap-fraud

SNAP fraud is when SNAP benefits are exchanged for cash. This is called trafficking and it is against the law.


The trafficking rate in SNAP has dropped dramatically. Due to increased oversight and improvements to program management by USDA, the trafficking rate has fallen significantly over the last two decades, from about 4 cents on the dollar in 1993 to about 1 cent in 2006-08 (most recent data available).

Is that accounting for people who violate the terms of SNAP benefits by also gifting food to others outside their household?

I actually know a few people who tried to donate food to food banks when they could even though they were receiving SNAP benefits. :/ Still more than I hear most well off people donating.

Also, they'll almost certainly get less food. So.

There's the fact him and his cronies have referred to such benefits as entitlements that need to be fixed. I don't trust him not to make it ineffective and then canceled when it doesn't work as a step in outright canceling all such benefits.

Are you suggesting that terrorists who seek to destroy the west aren't that way as a result of the decades of western intervention, war and pillaging of resources?


I think people like you, who constantly shit on the West and blame Europeans for the problems of the world, are partially responsible for the ones that left the comfort, safety, and decency of the West to join ISIS.


Western influence, particularly colonialism, is why there's such distrust towards us by nations that had their stability crushed. We created those monsters, because we were the monsters who decided that resources like oil is worth more than an entire region. There's also been several nations where, following a democratically elected leader being placed in power, they were shortly afterwards dealt with in a coup. Usually backed by western nations in favor of a regime that would sell us oil. Other times, by rebels because the person elected was nothing more than a puppet leader acting on behalf of western interests. Meanwhile, if you went back just a few decades, they had stability. It's western influence that created the massive rise in militant Islam and the subjugation of women.

The fact that western nations shy away from ever acknowledging they created this mess through over a century of intervening is pathetic.

Also, the west includes the united states of america. Don't know why you specified Europe.

Tipping on take-out is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard

That was what, 4 or 5 min of work max, and all you did was hand me a bag? That's not worth jack

Several hundred dollars, that's over a dozen bags of still piping hot food. Possibly more containers depending on what they store the food in. Plus the time it takes to put in the order. So about the same amount of time interacting with the customers as if they sat down, minus drinks.

When they're waiting on tables they're actually tending to a customer. When they're doing takeout all they're doing is handing a bag over and saying bye. It's absolutely not the same thing. One is around an hour of time invested with a customer, the other is maybe 5 minutes at the most. What are they being tipped for?

During that hour, do you really think they'd have more than 5 minutes of interaction with any single section of the table?

Civilian casualties in a war don't justify terrorists stabbing people

A tragedy doesn't justify another tragedy

Are you suggesting that terrorists who seek to destroy the west aren't that way as a result of the decades of western intervention, war and pillaging of resources?


Can't read their minds. Maybe some of them want revenge. Maybe some just want their virgins in heaven. Maybe some are just kids who got talked into it. Does it matter? There's no justifiable reason to kill innocents, even if the other side has done it.


In that case, what have you done to help ease western control upon the middle east? Or what have you done to help at least prevent western nations from having civilian victims?

Detail everyone is missing

A friend of Yoders told her to delete the post and that he would call the church about the tip. When Yoder came into work the next day, she was told that the church had been given a full refund and that she was fired.

She had a friend harass the church for not tipping.

A restaurant had an employee have a friend contact a customer after a transaction demanding a tip

100% fireable offense

The friend didn't harass the church about the tip, they narced to the church about the waitress.

Trump wants war. He even did that "my button is bigger, and works" line

North and South Korea participated in a joint effort to demonstrate that both sides desire peace.

Pence refused to stand to acknowledge this, which is rich given he's said sports is no place for politics. And Trump still wants war, even though it would mean that South Korea would be hit by North Korea, and America would then retaliate and kill at least half of the current population of North Korea.

The biggest propaganda machine that influences how North Korea is perceived is actually America.

Huh now I can't get unto Lucia. I put the red hex on it but when I put the cursor over it and push X nothing happens.

I did a white one too just because I don't know what else I have to do but again pushing X does nothing.

*scratches head*

Have you fully uncovered every hex for the city?

I don't know. Do I need to do all the red ones? How do I know? Only one is labelled. Here's a pic:

FFOoCab

Yeah, some of it is still covered which is why you can't access it. The dots over the back the two indicate it's still blocked, if I recall. Might want to uncover the gray ones surrounding it just to be sure
