SNAP shouldn't be necessary for anyone who works. The fact that in America someone can have a job and yet still needs SNAP to survive is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Pay people a living wage jfc.

I disagree. Pay people UBI so any job automatically becomes a living wage.
The argument my friend always says is this cant happen or all small businesses will be shut down because only corps will be able to pay that high wage.
Counter point?
As it turns out, most small businesses pay a higher wage than the big corps. Average wages end up going down when a town gets Walmarted because Walmart pays less than the small businesses it drives out.
Im not sure thats right. Mc dick pays 15 dollars an hour here and a mom n pop shop downtown either wont hire you or pays 9 dollars.
Right. They are stealing your livelihood from both ends, not living up to their side of the bargain and blame you for this problem. America s should all collectively not show up to work for a week and see if the tune changes, cause I'll bet it sure as shit would.
Let's make a deal. We cancel SNAP and implement a Negative Income Tax as conservative economist Milton Friedman recommended. That brings everyone up to the poverty line, and everyone on SNAP today won't need it anymore.
Benefits for you:
- close a bunch of SNAP jobs
- retail stores don't need to remember what's snap approved and what's not
Benefits for everyone else:
- no more poverty
- no application process for benefits, just file a fax return
- cash instead of food-specific benefits, so people with food can use the cash for something else they need (clothes, utilities, etc)
has chowder ever changed his mind during one of these or does he just troll the entire time
He should give a pop up lecture at Utah State.
Why? They're a bunch of farmers out there, and it's like a half hour from the freeway and another hour or two to an airport.
Surely somewhere like Utah Valley University wouldn make more sense. 😜
Also this piece of shit doesnt have a mind worth changing. Just ignore him and use the calvin version of the meme, or better yet dont use that format anymore.
You can imagine how that went.
They're always so proud of upsetting other people, like it's a major win in the struggle for political dominance.
"I shat in the mall. You can imagine how that went."
Shit like that doesn't need to be debated.
Even in Ancient Rome they had a grain dole that... paid for itself! With interest! Because the poor who would otherwise struggle to buy wheat or barley got it, and could buy other stuff, even luxury items. The result is that more and more trade flowed directly to Rome and people made a bundle doing it.
And also less hungry people means less desperate people and it means more stability. Something that basically everyone wants.
But yes, these same right-wing grifters even attacked the grain dole in Ancient Rome as if it lead to the fall of the Roman Empire.
But giving away grain to peasants is why the entire empire fell to ruin! Letting people starve is the most humane way of reducing hunger in the long run, it just takes strong leadership to do what most be done. Really, it'll be faster, easier, and cheaper (which is by definition better for everyone) if we help accelerate things. Which will be the next bit of societal tough love that Crowder will be taking the high road on.
One cannot debate with a POS like Steven.
Universe: I need a benchmark for the absolute very worst of the species called human
Conservatives: ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND HOLY SHIT WE’RE STANDING RIGHT FUCKING HERE
It’s hard for me to understand how someone can be such a piece of shit. Like yeah, let’s let children starve for no reason at all.
It's the Christian™ thing to do.
No reason at all?! Are you kidding? They're doing it for profit. It's all for the bottom line! If a few kids starve, who cares? Most of them are brown anyway.
I think it's more than that, they are heavily invested in a rather nasty version of the "just world hypothesis": if bad stuff happens to these people, like being poor and hungry, it's because they are bad and deserve it.
It's the same logic at play for blaming victims or rape and sexual violence.
Because the alternative, that the world isn't fair and horrible stuff happens to good people and good things also happen to horrible people, is too unpleasant and exhausting to contemplate and requires complex thought.
Specifically, breaking the just world illusion is unpleasant and exhausting because it removes the only reassurance they have that they are good people.
If they prosper in a just world then they are good. If you convince them the world is unjust then they have to grapple with being an awful person who has done and said awful things.
It's virtually impossible to convince someone of that
The funniest part is the stores and their suppliers are pushing for SNAP benefits in the interest of profits, so the profiteering is fighting itself.

Charlie Kirk strat for the afterlife I see.
I wish to bash Steven Crowders face in with a Kentucky rifle, then his limbs, then for my final act I would shoot his left lung before burying the rifle barrel into his right. I loathes this cretin so fucken much.
I really don't think he's worth going to jail over...
Wow the comments on this are wild. The complete lack of empathy on Twitter is astounding.
My thot sand prayers go to his wife as she gets in line behind a couch and Charlie Kirk's wife to get at JD Vance's dick
Does he have another wife? Last I heard of him (not that I keep up to date with this loser) was when a video of him abusing his wife came out a couple of years ago, then he spent a while bitching about how women shouldn't be allowed to file for divorce.
Oh I guess she's already in line.
Years of anger, bad faith and force-fed weaponised identity politics have turned it into a point of pride for these people.
And yet I was denied when I applied for PPP and I lost my business
Don't read the replies 🙃
I liked this one:
Why should anyone try to change your mind about it? When you’re this ignorant and starved for attention, there’s no mind to change
But some of those memes... it fills me with a special kind of disgust to see them go at it inside their bubble.
I bet most of them were 'imagined' with grok. You can just chalk up those comments to grok of shits.
Holy snapping duckshit, they’re deranged beyond all ability to measure. Subhuman primates banging rocks for fun.
hey, please don't try to use nazi tactics like dehumanization to fight nazis. humans are perfectly capable of evil and 'no u'ing nazi shit legitimizes and normalizes their tactics and doesn't hurt them or their goals in the slightest.
Remind me what happened to the last guy that mouthed off under a "change my mind" banner.
