@mcsquared34 seems like around pandemic people stopped knowing how to cook at home. and that gluttony has caused high demand for restaurants so that even a person who's struggling financially would spend like $500 instead of just making some rice and beans and chicken.

@KanyinTV @Grob2point0 a worker can't just stop working since they have to have a place to rent and food to eat. thats where the govt needs to step in to prevent exploitation

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@ThatRavensFan @xclical @Grob2point0 it is 40 hours -- 1 hour in class, 3 hours at home/in the library. maybe it's different if you got your degree in something fake like communications but you sound like you want people to have a hard time for no good reason.

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@middle_class_us if you finish those 4 years with anything like a real degree, you'd have learned how to study. much of what people learn they forget quickly but it is the training in how to learn that's important. then you can adapt to pretty much any new job that develops.

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@ThatRavensFan @xclical @Grob2point0 80 hour weeks is not what is normal, just because you could handle that, doesn't mean that is to be expected from every student. 8 hours work, 8 hours rest, 8 hours sleep.

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@famousthegreats the entire issue is health insurance premiums + housing costs. the first is fixed by abolishing medicare and licensing/residency requirements. the second by abolishing zoning requirements. its artificial restrictions on supply of healthcare + housing that drive up the costs

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@famexbt the gov't has an interest in promoting bigger families. it eases up social security load due to lowbirthrates, it generates more working people so more tax can be collected, it creates more potential soldiers to be conscripted in war.

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@ThatRavensFan @xclical @Grob2point0 how do you figure that? college students are in even worse position since they can't work full time. you know, there are need-based scholarships that only cover tuition

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@Owennfa biggest problem is not getting enough hours

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@SteveOnSpeed because at 29.99% APR you can't pay that off. while at 10% there's a chance to.

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@tmaxftw or just go to another country for treatment. or just not pay hospital bills. if its an emergency, they have to treat you. then just go to mexico or something for further treatment

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@jmhorp smh my head

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@OnePissedYinzer @BowtiesRCool i thought you people said that fast food jobs aren't meant to be decently paid because they are for high schoolers/first job or something?

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@uncvoss My whole family has not had insurance since 2011, we just go to one of the 3rd world countries with universal healthcare to get treatment. and paying for it outright still comes out cheaper than insurance premium + deductible

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@ThatRavensFan @Grob2point0 is cutting SNAP gonna make a difference in the deficit? its one of the best value social welfare programs, and is not a big drain on resources that would only get worse like pensions

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@Grob2point0 so cutting SNAPs doesn't solve the structural deficit whatsoever

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@Grob2point0 helping struggling workers afford food at a tiny fraction of the military budget is the same as giving boomers social security

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@Nalin_Haley do democrats think just because something is grassroots its automatically correct?

[Maxim Baurov @MBaurov]

@Grob2point0 what % is military spending? similar. not saying we shouldn't cut either due to unsustainability of social security, but military is also bloated and inefficient. how many extra F18 does taking away SNAPs from workers buy? 10?
