So what happens when the Federal government can’t issue Nov Food Stamps?

1. Gavin Newsom didn't unilaterally raze a historic, public building after lying and saying he wouldn't
2. Gavin Newsom is not responsible for the government shut down.
3. Gavin Newsom is not the leader of the Democratic Party
4. Just because Gavin Newsom does something doesn't make it ok.

What has been done to the White House is outrageous.

The larger point is, so what if Gavin is a handicap? Deal with it. Get ahead of it. Figure it out.

No, it isn’t. At Walmart you can get a 30-serving container of oatmeal for $4, $2.93/gallon milk, an 8 lb (yes, 8lbs) bag of pinto beans for $6.88, 18 eggs for $3, 5 lbs apples for $6, $0.50/canned vegetables. But people are lazy and prefer to get quick junk


People who have worked 10 hours a day are lazy yeah. You are a jerk.


LOTS of people work 10-12 hr days, people still manage to cook. Yes, it's insane that our work hours are horrible, especially low income people but a simple meal can be put together in 20-25 mins.


Let's see you work 12 hour days, spend 3 hours on your public transit commute, come home to hungry kids, body aching, mind exhausted, for months and years on end without a real break. Are you going to cook food from scratch every single night? Or might you occasionally warm up a frozen pizza so you can actually spend some time with your babies?


Stop pretending everyone on snap is even working full time, let alone 12 hr days


Snap has work requirements. It isn't providing much. Most people on benefits work, many work multiple jobs. I'm not pretending, you are uninformed.


Yeah, it’s 80 hrs per MONTH

Right because many of the folks on SNAP have kids and I’m not sure if you are aware of the cost and often unavailable daycare. Single mothers of young kids often can’t afford to work full time.

Completely understandable, but with that logic if you are working 20 hrs a week then should be able to cook simple, nutritious home cooked meals. So far, the argument has been that people are working 2-3 jobs so they don't have time and I get that. But if we are talking of mothers working 20 hrs/week, then the previous argument of being overworked and eating processed food doesn't hold.

As a working parent, I can totally understand if someone has 10-12 hr work day and then opts for a frozen meal but the rest need to do a better job.

Please 12 hours of sitting on your tush on a computer in air conditioned office is nothing to compared to some minimum wage manual labor job without ac for even 4 hours. Not to mention many take long multi connection bus rides to get to and from jobs.

Why don’t you get off of your a$$ and so something to help these families instead of being so judgmental?

Gluten Free
Our Spicy Jalapeño Chicken Sausages employ medium-hot jalapeño peppers, rather than the typical Italian seasonings, to produce a fiery bite. Grill them alongside brightly-colored bell peppers and sliced onions, sauté and serve with scrambled eggs & toast, or throw them under the broiler with buttered Brioche Hot Dog Buns for a quick, satisfying meal on a busy weeknight.

Italian Linguine
$0.99/1 Lb
Kosher
Our Italian Linguine is made with one simple ingredient: durum wheat semolina. We don’t believe that a simple macaroni product that’s been produced for centuries should require a laundry list of added ingredients to achieve tasty results. And let’s get one thing clear: Trader Joe’s Italian Linguine is a tasty product. It can be served with just a little olive oil, but becomes especially tasty when traditionally plated with a simple pesto to coat each elliptical noodle as you spin a bit onto your fork. Other common taste-elavating options include using tomato-based sauces or a light sauce with a seafood addition - think salmon, cod, or shrimp. In as little as 7 to 8 minutes of passively boiling pasta, you can have yourself a plate of Italian Linguine noodles, toothsomely al dente, of course, and you’ll be sending your tastebuds on a flavorful flight 6,000 miles across the Atlantic to our favorite boot shaped nation!

These are the prices at Bailey's Crossroads, Falls Church, VA.






And what is rent, healthcare, gas, insurance, and all the other expenses people earning minimum wage but not being scheduled regular hours are paying?

They are a lot. Nobody has ever said that life on minimum wage is easy. It's soul draining and the income inequality we have in the United States is an indictment of our society..

That being said, cooking pasta with some sauage is easy and cheap. It's also an indictment of our society that we have people so detached from reality that they have comvinced themaelves that sausage costs $10 or that basic cooking requires a Viking range and persian saffron.

It's ludicrous to see Republicans with their phony crocodile tears of "wah, they want to hurt people" when they didn't care about hurting them by destroying their healthcare. Not to mention that we all know Republicans would be the first to vote YES to permanently end SNAP anyhow.

43% of households receiving these benefits have at least one disabled member. This includes group homes of intellectually disabled adults who are able to work a few hours, but not enough pay to live on. They rely on snap benefits. Some are families with a disabled member who needs full-time care meaning that somebody has to be home at all times and cannot work full-time.
