[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are the new “welfare queens”.  80% of the counties most dependent on government handouts are deep red.

This is why rural America loves socialist policies as much as anyone.[/quote]

+100. But it's "different" for them! They shouldn't be proud of this, they aren't really "affording" a big family on 40k, they're reliant on government assistance that will potentially be cut, probably by the party they vote for. I don't know how people live like this, they're one unexpected bill away from total ruin and also extremely short sighted and frankly, delusional about the future. They're crowing on about saving money with breastfeeding and second hand clothes with babies but they have NOTHING for them when older. For every 1/1000 kids for whom this is a motivator to succeed, it's really just entrenching generational poverty for the rest. I can't believe the woman who hasn't worked in years and was making minimum wage working at Home Depot thinks her 40k in loans for a crappy interior design degree is going to get her some plum gig when she wants to work 3 years from now. Crazy.[/quote]

WSJ is just putting the proles on display for their readership. Most of the new crypto ventures are just Republicans fleecing MAGA rubes. It's a tried and true successful platform for Republicans and their donors. [/quote]
