my wife thinks an in person interview would be next
Same principle applies to someone who has recently sold a car worth that much.
god how many interviews are they going to do!!
The drunk tank at this place is going to be enormous.
Fuck

(Gotta run today for sure augh)
yeah - i absolutely agree that public assistance should be structured (and funded!) to encourage better/ healthier choices rather than the other way around.
i just have a hard time getting too outraged at WIC restricting "organic milk" or "brown eggs"
Will eat pulled pork sliders and an order of mega-fries.
Yes.
Embrace the fat.
It's the same logic as restricting needle sales with the intent that drug addicts will just stop doing drugs. The result is increased costs for the taxpayer, worse outcomes for people in need, and residual harm in the form of increased disease transmission rates, etc
a bajillion : (
The recruiter asked to know if someone else was interested, so I think my wife will tell her that she's had 2 interviews with this other place and hopefully that will give them a little bit of urgency
seriously
they can put in a big window and a little train and turn it into a ride
Sometimes dates are about the seduction. I mean sure, Elendil is a sure thing but he would appreciate the effort.
"Outraged" is a pretty strong and inaccurate word for what has been happening in here.
My only point is that it is a stupid and pointless restriction made by people who are far more concerned with making sure that welfare is as insulting and difficult to get as possible than by actually helping poor people in any way.
here is your abakus song for the day
The sweet taste of justice is literally decaying my teeth.
I am thinking about getting on food stamps. Could be interesting.

Today I run three laps, walk one, run three more and Friday I just run two miles.
That doesn't sound like a lot, but five weeks ago I had been running none feet a week.
i don't know all the details of the wisconsin policy and i think that walker is an asshole from what i know of him
but to be fair, the two examples given of the wisconsin wic restrictions were "you can't use your milk coupon on boutique organic milk which is often twice as expensive as the basic stuff" and "you can't use your egg coupon on brown eggs, which are more expensive for no goddamned reason at all"
those strike me as reasonable.
I can see the signs now
"If you want Gluten Free, Kosher, or Halal food choices, GET OUT OF AMERICA"
you know
there are worse sentiments...
what if they want to buy the organic milk and brown eggs in an effort to be healthier? they'll have less money to spend on other foods, which means they'll compensate for it by buying cheaper something else, sure. but what's the concern here? dang those poors are gonna buy organic milk instead of baby formula?
I just don't get the point except that it makes people feel guilty and lesser for being on welfare, because we tell them they aren't even worth organic milk.
The important part is that both of things were counted as "junk food" when you can bet your bottom dollar that you can still walk in and buy ten frozen hamburger and grease pizzas for ten dollars.

i thought soy milk was also in the excluded list?
THAT is the problem.
so stressed
I never got to tell you but I greatly enjoyed that MMA spoof video you posted.
I didn't see it until like the next day but it was perfect.
So very perfect.
So very true...
I HAVE TO THANK JESUS, IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM I WOULDN'T HAVE JUST SNAPPED THAT DUDES ARM. SO THANK YOU JESUS!
crazy shit man
Rothstein argues in "Vad Bör Staten Göra" that overly complicated and specific welfare programs makes people feel victimized and denigrated, and that it usually involves so much red tape that both the state and the citizen would be better served by instituting welfare on a much more general level. This guarantees the well-being of the most amount of people while keeping nebulous state oversight to a minimum.
But of course, that's socialism kooky-talk and un-American, so w/e.
The cage-free / organic eggs I buy happen to be brown.
I think that the restriction is less-insane if the only difference is 'boutique' or 'luxury' status, and if you ignore the actual reasons why someone might want to buy organic or humane dairy.
...but it kind of relies on the idea that people using these programs are not really that poor and are just mooching by choice. Otherwise why would they blow extremely limited income on egg color?
Its a good program.
Are you seeing results on your body / on the scale yet?
yesss
But when you take it apart and examine what is happening, it's just dumb.
Watching my students stress over exams makes me glad I no longer have to take them.
