With the typical ~$130 a month in benefits, the food stamps are going will offset his property tax payment for his luxury house that year. He must be out of savings to qualify for public assistance.
he seemed impressed and is giving me some sample resumes so I can look less like a phony who will certainly die alone (my words, not his)
perhaps you should move the universe
yeah i definitely don't agree with making public assistance punitive or humiliating. i've known a ton of people for whom public assistance got them through a rough spot and improved their lives immensely.
hell, i was on unemployment for almost six months - had it not been there, i would have had a hard time keeping my house. now i'm working again and paying taxes.
i do get why conservatives are bothered by able-bodied people who spend their entire lives on public assistance. i've known a few and, while i certainly didn't envy the lives they'd carved out for themselves, it was still pretty annoying.
i'm honestly not sure the best thing to do about those people, and i resent the fact that public frustration with them bleeds over to everyone taking public assistance.
Go go go super soldier

Definitely seeing results on my body. Moobs are all but gone now and there is definition appearing. And according to the scale last night I have lost 9 pounds since I started.
I am also eating less, in fact barely any, red meat and cut out all but diet soda (for the caffeine and because water gets boring) and eating high fiber and high nutrient foods as well as doing some free weight stuff and walking on my "off" days.
It's a good program for sure.
I would love to see numbers on how many WIC dollars are spent per year on organic milk and brown eggs.
"Hooray! With this bold, innovative new commonsense approach to WIC, we will save the taxpayers of Wisconsin $204.78!"
Poor people don't make ethical food choices because they can't afford to.
It is such a limited thing that the fact that a government is wasting its time trying to fight it is mind-boggling to me.
do the later games (after 3 on the snes) keep the voice bits like OPTION

*gyrates suggestively*
Is that including the cost of implementing the restrictions?
Like, actually missing?
now i really have zero reason to consider leaving school and working full time
Oathkeeper - Updates Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Buy Issue One! >< Two! >< Three!
NEW! >< Four!
try water "enhancers" like Mio.
They basically taste like Kool aid, but zero calorie and with a sweetener that isn't horrifying
I know, which is why it's so stupid to be like "WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE YOU CAN'T BUY ANYTHING ORGANIC"
if they are, it's very limited and only what they deem most important to buy organic!
you can get the bootstrap flavored colon blow though
I mean, I'm sure these people exist.
But in what numbers? Numbers sufficient to punish everyone else who has "legitimate" need for public assistance?
See: Rick Scott spending ($300,000? of) taxypayers' money drug-testing welfare recipients and finding that like 2% of them smoke pot.
WIC is coupon based. the point is to keep costs down - you can buy two jugs of non-organic milk for the cost of one jug of organic milk. brown eggs are not any more healthy than white eggs - they just cost more.
WIC is coupon based exactly because of concerns that some people will use the money on X thing rather than baby formula. It's intended as food support for women with dependent children.
i don't think it's principally intended to humiliate people, but maybe i'm wrong.
Oh yes. In Gradius V they are called Multiples. The only issue I have with V is it devolves into bullet hell a couple times.
No.
Because "We saved the taxpayers -$2,538.43" doesn't focus-group as well for whatever reason.
That is what the real debate is, unless you wanna start talking mercantilism.
uh
yes.
the "no organic milk" and "no brown eggs" with wic vouchers?
i guess i don't understand how organic milk or brown eggs have anything to do with a healthy lifestyle when compared to conventional milk or white eggs.
I am down to my high school weight of 285 from my college senior/grad school depression weight of 320.
It's a pretty good feel.
Like, it's fucking funny how much gubmint oversight is A-OKAY when it fucks over poor people.
The important thing to remember about this one is that he has a large stake in the company that was mandated to perform the testing.
nobody takes WIC in the town I live in because of the restrictions on it and the hassle, I frequently drive my car-less neighbor 25 minutes to the nearest wal-mart so she can pick stuff up for her kids
they can get stuff with their food stamps in town though, it remains to be seen if they will be able to after the changes are implemented
so i personally kind of think that soy milk is bullshit, but yeah i don't see a good reason to exclude it from the voucher, especially for people with lactose intolerance or whatever.
It's also soy milk and organic anything and reusable containers and any number of completely pointless caveats to food assistant.
And again, if they're serious about stopping junk food consumption, where are the restrictions chef boyardee and oreos?
You gotta peel back the banana to see how full of shit these people are sometimes.
you don't get to be too picky at the soup kitchen, i guess.
Honestly, diet is like 80-90% of weight loss. Being active will help you burn more calories and create a larger caloric deficit, as well as hold onto and build muscle mass that will itself consume more calories. I hit a plateau with my weight loss, and literally as soon as I quit soda cold turkey, another 10 lbs. fell off almost instantly.
It was like a wizard stole my love handles.
So do fatties, people who ski, motorcyclists, drug users, drinkers, etc...
Smokers are an easy target, but a pretty silly one since they're already being taxed $BLOOMBERG for the cigarettes anyway, and creating disincentives and penalties for people purchasing health insurance is crazy pants.

WIC isn't, no, but the things that Republicans are doing to the program absolutely are.
**universe backs away slowly**
congratulations?
