But hunger saves money. And that hunger feeds character. And strong character + malnourishment = strong workforce

Why have personally motivated workers who are healthy enough to have good attendance when you can instead have people die on the job? Then you can use their bones to feed the capitalism machine!

See? Everybody wins!

Well, the poors don't win, but they're not people because the capitalism machine doesn't eat people, only bones. Greg over in printshop made a sign and everything. It says "Don't worry, I don't eat people! Keep hands and loose clothing away at all times."

as soon as they’re born, they’re on their own?

No, not at all! Just as soon as they're poor. If they'd had the strength of character to be born rich then we wouldn't need to punish them for the sin of being poor.

They think that way they'll get more cheap workers and can fill their pockets exploiting them, but it will just turn their states into absolute shitholes and people will move to better states.

Making the government as dysfunctional as possible is a major component of their strategy for governance.

Why act in good faith in service to your constituents when you can make things worse and get reelected when you point to how poorly you run things and call it "government waste"?

American voters fail to see this connection and thus continue the churn of ineffective government.

If you can, do more than vote: volunteer and give money to campaigns.

I recommend picking out close races to work on. Besides president, there are a ton of house, senate, and state-level races to be involved with.

I was thinking with the fauci hearings how insane it is that we have so many folks that vote for these guys.

No one cares about kids once they are outside the womans body.

Weird, innit?

Almost as if its all a big elaborate ruse to punish and control women and not about the blessed holy sanctity of life /s

They only care about unborn. Fuck you after you're born.

Same crowd asking why don't we have grandkids!?

The cruelty is the point.

Fiction, unlike reality, must be believable. Reality is under no such obligation.

Oklahoma of course won't join just Governor Shit is okay with 1 in 4 kids going hungry in our state. I Fucking hate Republicans.

Clearly the solution to the childhood obesity problem is to just stop feeding them!

They hate children. Plain and simple.

Hrm, as long as they don't drink water after eating the magnets.

The best part is the mental, physical and eventually societal cost of the stress from all this bullshit. Health declines, more meds prescribed, more medical bills, less retirement because of medical insurance... Games been rigged since before i was born.

It's not a bad idea, but how do you let the people who qualify know how to apply? I ask because there are billboards about low income assistance programs for residents of Texas, but said billboards are in someplace like Maryland.

I can't figure out how to find the article, but I remember them pulling this type of shit, and reading about it a few months ago.

Just blame the computers ….

In Vermont, meanwhile, the organization that’s leading the charge to end childhood hunger in the state is backing the administration’s decision not to participate in Summer EBT this year.

Anore Horton, executive director of Hunger Free Vermont, said state agencies currently lack the technical infrastructure for a successful launch of Summer EBT.

“Our state agencies are eager to participate in Summer EBT, and they are committed to starting Summer EBT in summer of 2025,” Horton said. “So it’s not that they’re saying, ‘We’re not going to do this.’ They’re saying, ‘We’re not going to do this in Summer 2024.'”
