@WeeWooZachyBoi @Purpleloveor @ksorbs And, you are right, there are others out there that aren’t getting much in the way of SNAP but aren’t working due to illness/injury. $28 or some low amount is not much help.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@WeeWooZachyBoi @Purpleloveor @ksorbs There are parents who ARE working while receiving some help. Rent is high. Utilities up. Maintaining a vehicle. All of the things that keep people from getting ahead. Buried in the system. It allows them to keep money for other expenses.

@MrRedCap1840 @BraedenSorbo Yes, well I’m at the point where I realize voting for anyone is pointless. There’s always someone over them directing both the agenda and the chaos. They don’t care about anyone but their own.

@IWILLNOTCOMPY63 @MrRedCap1840 @BraedenSorbo Denise, the post was clear disdain that EBT recipients get discounts on museums, zoos, and chain memberships. I’m not making excuses, I’m pointing out a fallacy in perspective.

@MrRedCap1840 @Kamel_Kackles @BraedenSorbo Charities are fine but, since they depend on donations from individuals, their budgets could be strained and inefficient. Money, unfortunately, revolves around every thing. Reasonable COL would help tremendously.

@ChasScholle1 @pennlion55 @BraedenSorbo Apparently, the economic class where a bank owns everything they have and they support millionaires instead, is a far more justifiable trade off. Much more pleasing to the senses.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@ChasScholle1 @pennlion55 @BraedenSorbo I am being real, Chas. Eliminate fraud. Protect the weak. How is this an ‘extra’ topic? If someone doesn’t qualify they get taken off. If they do, they get help. Your comprehension seems sluggish.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@MrRedCap1840 @Kamel_Kackles @BraedenSorbo I don’t want old ladies sitting starving. I don’t want injured people killing themselves because they can’t provide. I don’t want children growing up without simple pleasures. Fix fraud. Protect the weak.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@Goldmember653 @BraedenSorbo Exactly. We ultimately ‘support’ a lot of people in our day-to-day transactions. The only backside is what they do to support themselves if cut off from funding. Viscous circle.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@Goldmember653 @BraedenSorbo Realistically, how much of your money do you think goes to anyone on SNAP? Or does it pay mostly for government salaries and benefits? Supporting our politicians costs more and I don’t hear outcry.

@ShellyWood20771 @BraedenSorbo If rent paid is $1,500, and a working mom makes say $2,200, and gets SNAP and HEAP to supplement; she shouldn’t be deemed a failure and denied a discount at a zoo. It fixes nothing.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@ShellyWood20771 @BraedenSorbo That’s the thing, I’m not gonna tell a woman suffering from breast cancer to get a side hustle.

I also would rather a mom stay home with her kids than daycaring them over a course of several jobs to avoid being shamed over some ‘free’ groceries.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@ShellyWood20771 @BraedenSorbo I don’t want to shame people who are disabled, elderly, or struggling families and their children. That fixes nothing. We can’t be more mad at them than the corporations paying low wages and charging high prices.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@MrRedCap1840 @BraedenSorbo There. Now you’ve found the real enemy. The bureaucrats. They keep society poor and struggling. Not the powerless people.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@ChasScholle1 @pennlion55 @BraedenSorbo You are missing who I’m speaking about. The disabled. The elderly. Children. I’m for eliminating fraud. I’m also for eliminating judgment against those who need help in tough times.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@grumpytrompy @BraedenSorbo I would. That’s just it, I don’t need to stick it to someone. I realize it won’t fix or benefit my situation to do so. Call me whatever lame name you want. God didn’t ask me to help the middle class.

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@grumpytrompy @BraedenSorbo I do use my own money. Don’t you?

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@MrRedCap1840 @BraedenSorbo Oh, I see, charities should cover the gap. Wonder where they will get the money for that. 🤡

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@pennlion55 @BraedenSorbo I’ll do you ten times better and I’ll throw in a dollar. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@WeeWooZachyBoi @Purpleloveor @ksorbs But imagine a man hurt on the job. He worked hard, too. He’s about to lose his shit and was struggling to pay for food for his family. If he can get benefits, that helps him….

[Isee Itnow @@ @StaceyJ414]

@WeeWooZachyBoi @Purpleloveor @ksorbs See, that’s where you lose me. You make assumptions that everyone on the benefits is able-bodied and produces children for minimal gain. It’s just not accurate. You sound bitter. Obviously, you work hard for what you have.
