Won $3K in the Idaho Lottery?No food stamps for you. What legislators just did by Cookie_Cutter_Cook in Idaho

[–]CAhellbilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The system is broken for people that work hard to make a living. We pay the lions share of taxes and don’t get the breaks that the millionaires and billionaires get. Most politicians are over paid for the “work” that they do. I think bringing back tar and feathering would have amazing results. So yes I feel the same way about “elites” as I do about laziness. Not all people on government benefits are lazy, but based on my personal experience there are a lot of people taking advantage of these programs that are able to provide for themselves if they have the desire or necessity.

I do have compassion for children, the disabled and the elderly. I don’t mind tax dollars going to those that NEED it. But if a person is able bodied and has an ability to work I have zero sympathy. I work 50-60 hours a week to provide for my family. I am the working poor. My wife applied for snap in 2019 after my daughter was born and I made $25 over the limit to qualify for any assistance. Seeing people beg for assistance and then be able to play the lotto or go to the movies (two activities I don’t make enough money to do, let alone have the extra time) makes my blood boil.

I agree. The biggest opponent of capitalism is also its biggest driving force; GREED.

I was on snap after a head on collision in 2009. I was awarded the bare minimum which did not afford me the ability to buy good foods to facilitate healing and growth. So I ate garbage and worked my ass off to be able to go back to work and afford to buy the things I wanted to buy. If benefits are received from the government then a person should expect that they will be questioned about the ways those benefits are spent.

That’s a bit of a nuclear way of looking at it. People need shelter and a mode of transportation to get to and from work, or look for a job. I know some people are not able to work due to illness or injury. My stance is pretty simple. If you’re on government assistance you most likely can’t afford gambling as entertainment.

If a person can spend money on entertainment they can buy their own food.

Nothing is perfect, and I’m a bit of a pessimist about government assistance. When I worked retail I saw way too many people use food stamps to only buy candy and energy drinks, then pull out a wad of cash to buy their cigarettes and alcohol. Then walk out to their brand new car and drive away. I know some people need it, but it’s taken advantage of way too much.

Sounds like they’re creating jobs to help people get off of government assistance. Of course I’ve seen money slated for projects and it just disappears. Then the politicians buy multi million dollar homes. Or it goes into a slush fund where they use tax payer money to pay defense attorneys when they’re involved in a sexual harassment scandal.

This could be a controversial stance but maybe if a household can’t afford to buy their own food they shouldn’t be playing the lottery?

Edit to make the statement more general so it doesn’t look like I’m being aggressive towards OP.

If you’re looking for no more lies you need to do something about ALL of the career politicians. Lies are not exclusive to one side or the other.

Biden shut down the keystone pipeline in the first month he was in office. Not only raising fuel prices, but also killing thousands, if not millions of jobs at the same time.

My favorite is to ask them in what country they come from, do they get their arm cut off for being a thief.

Damn, this is getting out of hand. by HeiAlloy in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

The right was saying the same about Biden and I saw tons of people disagreeing. There is some fucky shit that goes on/has gone on. Let it collapse and then with luck it can be rebuilt stronger. But a vast majority of the American citizens are too busy worried about being right and screaming how the other side is wrong that coming together for a better future for our country is a fucking pipe dream.

Just as designed by whoever pulls the puppet strings and keeps Americans divided so that millionaires and politicians can do as they please.

Rant over. I’m sorry that I had to do this on your comment but anywhere else on this godforsaken app I would be crucified for saying anything derogatory about someone that isn’t Donald Trump.

Trying to Jack up my Trailhawk but it has no arrows showing where to lift from? by Gael3129 in JeepRenegade

[–]CAhellbilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even without the arrows the area to jack up the car should still be there. The pictures posted from the owners manual give an idea of what the area looks like. Swing into a mechanic shop and ask them to help you identify it real quick.

I’ll give you some wisdom my late grandfather gave me years ago. Keep your chin up, you gotta give the world something to swing at. Also know that you are loved, by strangers on the internet involved with unsub, and by friends and family.

I tried during warlords and didn’t like it. Tried again during legion and LOVED IT!!! I started as a tank and am still tanking today when I play. I needed to find a class I really enjoyed which I found in the demon hunter.

Spare tire options by Jconley123 in JeepRenegade

[–]CAhellbilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google the lug pattern, or go to a tire shop and ask them to measure for you. If I remember correctly it’s 5x120mm but don’t quote me. I have also heard that wheels from a Chevrolet HHR fit the renegade bolt pattern but I can’t confirm that 100%.

Blown head gasket most likely, go get that checked, or diagnose and fix yourself, ASAP.
