Approximately 42 million Americans—about one in eight people—who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program stand to go hungry after November 1, when benefits are scheduled to expire.

“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” reads a message explicitly blaming Democrats on the Department of Agriculture’s website.

A coalition of 23 attorneys general and three governors are fighting for the latter. They argue that the USDA not only has the funds to continue feeding Americans via SNAP through the month of November, it also has “both the authority and legal duty” to do so.

    As crude and shitty as OP’s comment is, they’re right. Being gullible doesn’t mean you get more than others. All people deserve life, liberty and happiness, period.

    You don’t get more life, liberty, and happiness just because you were conned into fighting a rich mans war.

    We live in the information age, if you’re 18+, let’s be real, 13+, and you don’t stop to go on the Internet to find out whether or not you should be shooting people, you are fucking up.

    There is one exclusion, if you’re a Nazi, we’ll bury whatever parts of you we can find after we fuck you up and you get nothing.

      This ignores the intwntional use of cyclical poverty to make the military the only viable option for many.

      This gives them a “volunteer” army that they can do what they please with. Because people will always write them off because they “volunteered”.

      You start providing basic Healthcare, food, and housing to the whole population and pretty soon the military won’t make their recruiting numbers.

      It’s the age old story. Want to eat? Sell your body to the powerful

      i just think it’s right that an organization takes care of someone that fought for it. ask other externalities excluded. i believe that is a responsibility that anyone that asks others to doubt for them ought to owe.

        If you wanna chime in, I’d start with saying what you’re thinking.

        I’m not saying theyre bad people or even that being conned into killing people is murder. I’m saying you shouldn’t be given separate rights. Everyone, and I truly mean everyone has the right to those things. There is nothing you can do that will make you more human or less human aside from being a Nazi.

        Are you saying this opinion is wrong? If so, please elaborate.

        Also, this is your last 16 hours on Lemmy. Judging people from the comfort of not having to voice your own opinion so it can’t be judged.

            You know what dude. I already apologized for being short, and you’re going to come back after approaching and commenting on my shit attacking my character, and then accusing me of doing the exact thing you’re doing, EVEN AFTER I SCREENSHOTTED YOU DOING THE SHIT and then continue to fucking do it?

            You’re out of your mind. Figure it the fuck out.

            MY POINT IS EXACTLY WHAT I SAID. EVERYONE EQUAL ASIDE FROM NAZIS.

            Reread what has been said, and if you have anything else to say after that, fucking read it again.

                  What am I doing exactly? Am I telling strangers they are wrong for thinking veterans live sad lives and then telling anyone opposed to that to “fuck off”? I actually won’t be responding further to you, because this platform is fucking shit. For every good interaction I have, I see horrifically bad takes and sometimes I make the mistake of responding to them. I probably need to delete my account.

                    You’re still doing it. Right now.

                    You are projecting your shit onto me. Figure your shit out before you attempt to figure other people’s shit out.

                    You are pretending you’re unaware of what you’re saying and doing. It does not look good and it doesn’t excuse you.

                    We are two dudes in an elevator right now, you just farted and are attempting to blame it on me. I know I didn’t fucking fart dude.

                    That’s as simple as it’s ever going to get.
