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. |
Yeah, it’s 80 hrs per MONTH |
There are work requirements for SNAP. |
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? |
And the businesses to whom those $8 billion are paid? |
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. |
