Real empathy is asking peoples situation and trying to help not just cutting off millons. I help a food bank they are already running out of food constantly. I can't donate more without my kids going hungry but I will be crying with hungry parent and kids next week. Republicans who don't care are a big problem.
Literally there are millions of homes with absent fathers.
Literally there are tons of people who are in physically abusive relationships.
If everyone was wise did things right there would be very few needs for charity.
But we live in the real world where teens make mistakes.
Yes unwed mothers used to often go hungry. If you want to go back to that, that you and very callus. And I am disgusted by you.
Awkward conversations with young kids.
I thought I would get away from it by homeschooling. But they still talk to friends. Then we have to have the, different people live different ways but we are Christian, conversation again.
Luckily the other kids decided they wanted to act Christian as well. They were unaware there was a religious expectation around sex in Christianity. I mean that doesn't come up much when talking to 9 year olds.
Nah. I built a house on my parents land. They want to charge me what the neighbor with 15 acres and similar house pays plus charge my parents more now that it's developed. I say they should charge the appraised price of the lots worth split in whatever way they want between me and my parents. They want more then that.
All these people are saying churches have to preach about Charlie Kirk and be all outraged over it. Lots of normal hardly heard about the shooting. Like everyone at Saturday soccer half didn't even know. Why does our politics have to be in every church service in america?
Yes but the money was stolen past tense, it's gone! It's been gone.
Also it was never a savings plan. That would be better. The money from working people goes to current retirees. So how many people are working and will be working in the future matters for social security solvency.
I see tons of predators, well on my daughter's game. She likes to do those city based ones where you build a house. It's full of predators. I'm reporting constantly. Some of the games rules make it hard to keep people out of your house. It super obnoxious, she is pretty much not allowed to play Roblox.
The boys play train games, Minecraft derivatives and obbys with rare problems. She always tells me how unfair it is. Roblox is terrible a constant fight for my family.
I would guess not that much. 25% would be a big sales cut but most EBT recipients have some cash, often more then they tell the welfare office. They will be deciding between alcohol, nails or a new car. It's unlikely that soda will take the hit. With all the people complaining about rich food stamp recipients a lot of them are skipping nails or nice cars to look poor.
Everything is Gaza is so messed up. Israel is blaming the UN the the aid groups are blaming Israel saying the don't allow food. The Muslims in Gaza have been saying it's terrible and we are all dying since day 1. It's super hard to tell what's going on.
I spend some time in food backs boxing up food.
I spend a good amount of time talking to people as they are waiting in line.
One lady used to make and sell food with her food stamps. She got in trouble and can't get food stamps for years. She is getting skinny not having enough to eat. She lives for free with a guy who hurts her. She has a couple kids. I was helping her apply for work but she hasn't had a job in ten years and doesn't have a car. I would be surprised if she gets anything.
Most of our clients get most of their food from food stamps now they will all be scrambling like her. I am mad as hell at all the politicians that made this happen.
Also single mother are stigmatized. Living off benefits isn't some great reward. They are mostly broke. The ones that aren't are cheating the system, generally not in smart ways, they often get caught.
