I don’t think we were ever literally the best country, those tend to be the nordics. I believe (and I guess I should do some research) that “the greatest country on earth” was a marketing slogan. Like the local coffee shop that says they have the best coffee in the country or something. It was a very successful marketing campaign considering it’s still being believed and discussed.
They obviously mean with a reasonable, varied diet typical of American consumers. If you think you can eat a typical diet on $10/day in Deadhorse, then you clearly have never been there. A single loaf of bread will set you back more than $10. It seems food is cheaper where you live, which is why they added the caveat of “some places”
By the way, is there a reason you decided to personally attack the person and their parents? It doesn’t reflect well on you, or your personality, nor is it constructive discussion
You’ve confused the maximum possible benefit with what people actually get. Have a look at Texas’ calculator to see how it works: https://www.snapscreener.com/screener/texas
By the way, it’s called SNAP, not “food welfare”. You seem proud of your ignorance on the topic, so I don’t imagine you’ll bother looking into it more, but I’d recommend learning a bit more about SNAP. Might help you learn empathy along the way
If you’re a single person, you will receive a little under $300 in welfare.
Yes, I know it’s called SNAP. I choose to use language that other people can immediately understand because I’m not a pretentious loser. You should try it sometime.
Welfare in America almost never reaches the pocket of the person “receiving” the assistance. Nearly every “hand out” is just a subsidy for people with way too much money. For example, SNAP is farm and grocery store subsidy not a disenfranchised individuals meal ticket. The food has already been made and processed. The government just makes sure farmers don’t lose money on their surplus or scale back their yields. Grocery stores don’t have to spend time and money throwing away literally tons of food a month because there’s enough customers.
On average, an American only spends 3 years on welfare. States with additional support that time is much lower. Under a year in some progressive states. Can you guys which states have people on welfare forever? At the end of the day states that help out spend less because they actually turn people into productive members of society.
Finally, did you know that between China, India, and America we produce enough stuff to feed, house, clothe, educate, make safe, and provide community for every human? The only reason we don’t, “fuck you.” that’s why. Your position is ghoulish at best and down right stupid and evil at worst.
How are we the best country again?
It’s a lie that Americans have been telling themselves for a few centuries.

Ya but tell that to a MAGA. they’ll lose their fucking mind.

You get a little under $300/month as a single person that qualifies for food welfare.
It’s even more if you have a family.
Most of the people complaining about money are greedy morons.
$300/month is not even enough to feed a single person for an entire 30 days in some places.
I shoot for $10/day and it’s getting impossible to make it last a whole month. I am usually not eating for a few days before I get paid again.
That’s complete, and utter bullshit.
If you believe that, then you genuinely need to get more life experience.
(it makes sense why most of you believe it)
Yeah, this is the issue. Clearly your parents didn’t raise you to take care of yourself.

Are you illiterate or willfully being obtuse? I literally just described my actual experience with being on foodstamps.
I have a budget of just under $300 for a 30 day period. $10/day for 30 days is $300, genius.
You don’t need to spend $10/day to feed yourself if you’re not an idiot.
If I could spend less a day, I would you dense motherfucker. The point is, shit is too expensive that even $10/day isn’t LOW enough where I live.
And that’s a load of bullshit.
Your parents didn’t raise you to take care of yourself properly if you can’t feed yourself on less than $10/day.

No, I’m not confusing it at all.

Yes, I know it’s called SNAP. I choose to use language that other people can immediately understand because I’m not a pretentious loser. You should try it sometime.
Lol what? Are you seriously saying disenfranchised people are greedy?
If they’re too stupid to get on welfare, or welfare isn’t enough for them, then yes.
