I think it's concerning because I used to try to do wic going to the counter and hoping your food items are accepted sucks. Looking through a big store for the couple of things you can buy sucks. If they can make some simple way to tell if foods are allowed or not then it's fine. But what does no soda mean to sparking water and energy drinks? Am I going to have the check the website for every item? Is brand A going to be of but brand B is not? I don't trust the government to be able to make coherent reasonable rules.

Yeah mine was fairly serious. He stopped saying any words and starting yelling and slamming his head into things over and over. He is going to kindergarten now. He has trouble paying attention but is reading pretty good.

I did zeolite detox spray to get my 3 year old to start talking. He was regressing for two months after taking shots. I didn't want to go back to professionals we just did a few holistic things. There are plenty of cures for autism. Find out what works for yours.

When I kicked me abusive ex out we were forced onto government programs. The first two months were easier we got food from my local church. They let me pick what I wanted from there "store" unhealthy foods available. Then we got snap and it's so impersonal. They give me a lot more then I need but I really miss going and getting food from people.

Medicare sending trillions overseas could also be ridiculous.

I don't think it's the funding. I know lots of people who argue these things constantly. They got thrown for a loop by Trump's take over Gaza suggestion. They have heard poor Israel being bullied by terrorists. Then we offer to come in and fix it and they hate the idea? Kinda killed a narrative.

Very few illegals in California have been deported. Mostly ones who got arrested for drinking and driving or something. The thing is they tend to deport a whole household, who generally all work for the same employer. So it hurts specific illegal hiring businesses very harshly. But there are other willing workers, maybe they have to pay a dollar more an hour, it will be fine .

Feeling free to research anything without fear of the government.

Yep farms pick if they want to use labor or expensive tractors all the time. Loosing cheap labor will make it a little more expensive and drive innovation.

People in jail can often pay for phone and Internet time

No way!

Well I agree that the criminals should be executed but saying molested kids never recover is super depressing. I think I am recovered.

I know a few of these stories. I have one friend she left in November. 24 year old women she was working in fast food and taking a lot of welfare benefits. She went to Mexico City and got an office job with her high school diploma. Now she has a nice apartment and and a good car. She has never been happier. I am sure will we get some much sadder stories over the next few months but hopefully we will get out country back.

Yep I'm also thinking of my grandfather who died last year

Definitely now. California let's wild fires happen because it helps them financially. That has been going on for years.

Not the palm trees but the well watered leafy ones. With the wind and quickness the fire will miss some particularly
wet areas. But the consistency of surviving lawns, shrubs and blue plastic bins is disturbing.

There are lots of homeless and useless people who think it would be good to "burn it all down" they are actually doing it. They should be arrested. Many say they their plans online. Lots have been caught and released. They could be found. But the government doesn't do that because disasters help them.

Every time the new report says there is high fire danger a few dozen fires pop up an hour later. The firefighters can't cut fire line, do controlled burns or even have water when there is a fire.

I used to live in San Diego and watched the fire infrastructure get worse and worse. People I know got a ticket for backhoeing fire lines into open land when the fire department stopped doing it.

Yeah I listen to old songs on an organ. It's the same sounds without the ethical uncertainty.

I think the lockdowns have everyone thinking every single thing could get huge. It's annoying.

Yep that is right when all the dev jobs disappeared

Sadly Republicans tend to love these sorts of things too.

I grew up in San jose and saw it go from white engineers to Indian engineers, because they "couldn't find" Americans. Meanwhile the Americans decided to retire early because tech doesn't hire anyone over 50 and everyone my age moved to somewhere we could afford to live.

It's just pathetic how all the new grads are not working or working at McDonald's. I applied to hundreds of jobs now I've moved on to being a welfare queen. It's disturbing how many people I've met in the welfare office with degrees debt and no hope.

Well the reality is we have a generation of kids who can't get jobs.

What are we going to do just people born certain years?

Are they doomed to be replaced?

They are Americans who we should try to help not just worry about how their tragedy effects big business.
