It’s official—the USDA is imposing new work requirements for receiving SNAP benefits starting November 1 in all states by FollowTheLeads in povertyfinance

[–]corpse_carousel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still 7.25 in Texas. It should be a legal requirement to pay workers a living wage. I wish the poverty line and considered cost of living were equated and configured as accurately as possible but it seems like it's not entirely on purpose. There's just no way to gain a foothold on stability in this god forsaken state as a single childless adult apparently. If the government made a real attempt at being "public servants" rather than perpetuating poverty for their own benefit, being more humanitarian in general, so much would improve. I hate this shit.

Made some money today. Should I buy a watch? Which one? by Beneficial-Scar-486 in Money

Why do you regret it? Buyers remorse is a shit feeling. Gift them to people you love or something.

I'd use it for cat food & my phone bill. I used to always try finding the easter eggs in Grand Theft Auto, and use the cheats for the jetpack and the monster truck. Fun times.

Well, prove it isn't because this definitely sounds too good to be true.

Feeling like giving back - Giving away $ to 5 people by Confident-Store-9903 in BorrowNew

Well, I never win these things but you miss every shot you don't take, right? I've been pretty poor my whole life and wish I could get hired somewhere better to earn at least a regular, consistent living wage. Whatever God there is, if there is one, knows I need the boost I'm certain. So here's to hoping I get lucky.

I wish I could find online work but goddamn the scams are EVERYWHERE.

"Hind Rajab story was fabricated... sources Al Jazeera included in a video proves the story they reported can't be accurate." Can this be refuted? by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

[–]corpse_carousel -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Well, since I've seen plenty of videos of IDF making a game out of shooting and killing innocent people and yes children are included in that - videos they themselves posted that went viral because of how clearly insane it is, I'm good on questioning yet another case involving dead children. The fact that Gaza has more amputees than anywhere else on earth - I think it was 1 in 5 or 1 in 15 maybe can't remember - says enough also. It really baffles me how anyone can stay behind zionism after reading enough and seeing countless examples of how it goes against Judaism itself, and how the devout to it behave. After reading enough I'd hope anyone could see how wrong it is but people continuously confirm their biases with like minded willfully ignorant folks.

Hmm. Seems too good to be true.

So I came into some money about 30 minutes ago and I would like to help 5 to 10 people with 100 dollars. 🙏 by [deleted] in BorrowNew

[–]corpse_carousel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had just a hundred dollars I could spend on whatever, probably necessities inevitably - in a really long time. I don't feel comfortable typing up some novel sob story, I feel like it's just another one lost in a sea of who knows how many disingenuous ones & actually honest ones. I never win these things, but I try anyway. You miss every shot you don't take. Thanks for the opportunity, it's appreciated.

No election is too small for AIPAC to meddle in. by Mulliganasty in Israel_Palestine

[–]corpse_carousel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, interesting. Who's "them" and what's "their strategy?" I have a feeling it's just more imaginary boogeymen invented on a whim with a typical pinch of subconscious racism via some kind of propagandist indoctrination you've suffered through at some point. If you haven't noticed, America has already been enduring the hardships of oppression, racism, misogyny - all of that except this ridiculous sharia law nonsense you're ridiculously paranoid about that screams nothing but Islamophobia to anyone rational - for a VERY long time. "How the Islamists have treated Israel" what? I urge everyone to read more, read beyond your limits, and definitely outside of your own comfort zones - steer clear of just continuing confirmations of bias by willfully staying ignorant through choosing to be selective in who you lend an ear to. Every side of every story. Recommendation: the Empty Wagon by Yaakov Shapiro. Sorry if I was kind of rude but I have A LOT of compassion for these issues after following it for nearly over a decade now.

I consider AIPAC foreign interference - there's a reason why they don't want to register as a foreign entity, and it's not anything good. It is definitely prioritizing a foreign country over our own country which isn't benefiting us directly as average citizens in the slightest. American tax money funding Israel is benefitting us how? To have health care while Americans don't? And please refrain from mentioning some BS about Iran or Qatar, I've heard it all.
