Dirty little secret:

We have got
to have X% of Americans living in poverty, and that population has to
be managed in order to make sure it remains relatively stable. Otherwise
the industries built up around them and that rely on them would fail. I
wouldn't doubt if 10% of our workforce is built around The Poor. Court
systems, social workers (and entire university programs around the
nation), school lunch and other administration, etc.

Too big to fail, but only if you keep failing.

49 OT: The Guardian is all aflutter about the poor American Jihadi bride who (now that her three jihadi husbands are dead and Daesh is failed) is announcing she has made a mistake and is asking for a "second chance". She stated she "immediately" saw it was a mistake, but that of course is a lie. She repeatedly refused her father's overtures to bring her home, she tried to recruit jihadis to ram trucks into Memorial Day parades, and was a supporter...until they lost...Awwww, I say let her die for her beliefs just as she told her father she would do. I see no reason to bring her and her son of a jihadi fighter here at all. Naturally, she holds the jihadi baby in the picture...guess who also held babies in propaganda pics? Would they give Hitler a "second chance"?

Both attacks were believed to be made by a terrorist group sponsored by Pakistan. So, just another little worry to put in the back of your brain.

1) journalists are some of the heaviest users
2) the journalists are sent DM's of non-public information all the time
3) we know Twitter reads DM's
4) Since it's allowed in the EULA, to read the DM's, that insider info is legally obtained

If Trump was as ruthless as Clinton going after Microsoft, he could use the SEC to destroy Twitter

two thoughts: One, they define poverty as people a certain percentage below the median income. Thus, there will always be that same percentage of people in poverty no matter what.

Two, not only does the "poverty industry" exist, but so much of the justification for things the government does is based on helping "the poor" or "the children" that if those people no longer seemed to need as much help, or if there weren't so many of them, people might stop and say "hey wait a minute... do we really need to do this?"

Which is why the government constantly trots out idiotic lines about, whatever, 25% of children not knowing where their next meal is coming from, despite several generations of food stamps, school lunches, school breakfasts, etc... not to mention food banks, charities, friends & family, etc.

AND not feeding your kid is neglect, if 1/4 of children in this country were truly going unfed, CPS would be yanking kids away from parents at an astonishing rate.

Of course, it's hard to keep up that storyline when the other big story is that 60% of kids or whatever are overweight.

Right. "poverty" means something very different in 2019 america then it did in 1955 America. Not to mention the rest of the world.

You can have a place to life, a bed, furniture, food, a car, a TV, a smart phone, money to go out to the bars, money for weed, etc... I just... that doesn't really strike me as "impoverished."

In a different time, that would be considered "middle class." It much of the world that would be considered "rich."

Mathematically speaking. Objectively. However, poverty, being a human condition, is a state of mind also. Thus, the poor are still with us and always will be, no matter how productive and paternalistic we become as a society. Which, if you think about it is probably a good thing, because otherwise, no hobo hunting in futureworld.

Friday when I was driving home from work, I noticed a shitload of cars in my peripheral vision along the marginal of the freeway. As traffic was slow, I was able to look over....

There were cars lined up as far as I could see down the marginal road, cops out directing traffic, a line wrapped around a building....

When I worked a summer job at Skaggs Alpha Beta, I carried some groceries out for an older man that had a significantly younger hottie that was rubbing her ass all over him and grinding with him on the way to the car. He was in a 2 door Cadillac and had a cart full of groceries. He paid with food stamps.

Eh, I haven't looked at their financials, but they are a publicly traded company. I imagine they do well on their ad revenues.

Their overhead costs are presumably pretty low -- rent some server / storage space from AWS or whoever, have some H1B coders and a minimal office staff. I can't imagine it costs much to run to Twitter.

Posted by: Sponge at February 18, 2019 01:42 PM (IXZGh)

In my early 20's, I used to live in a middle class neighborhood bordering a different city's lower class neighborhood.

My grocery store experiences were fucking eye opening.

Two carts full of chips, soda, frozen "food" and completely ridiculous shit to buy... always two transactions at the cash register -- one on EBT, one (for non-eligible items like beer) in cash.

And hundreds of dollars spent on quasi-food that makes you fat.

If I were in charge of the world, I would severely limit what kind of food food stamps can buy, and chips and soda would not be on the fucking list.

I remember this one lady specifically who I'd see from time to time, with fake nails, tattoos, brand new iPhone, driving a newer Escalade with rims, who was incredibly rude to everyone in the store, and would max out her EBT card with ice cream, chips, and soda. Like $200 on that shit at a time.

Then she'd buy a carton of cigarettes and a few cases of Corona with cash.

It was unbelievable to me.

My mother, actually, has an EBT card and does all her shopping for food on it. Now, she does eat reasonably healthy and does try to get quantity AND quality to get the most for her EBT dollar, but does feel that she's comfortable enough to pay cash for 6 handles of Vodka at the same time.

144 That would be my first guess is the flapper valve. The rubber or whatever material gets rotten from the water and chemicals in it. Then it no longer seals properly and you have a constantly running toilet.

Or the handle that pulls up the flapper has broken or bent and no longer lets the flapper down all the way.

Or it could be the seal in the incoming valve that is also activated by the handle. sometimes it will get gummy and no longer seal.

One stop fixes all of those as they make universals that will fit most toilets. Just shut off the water and remove the input line to the fill gizmo and replace it. They usually attach the flapper to that so you get everything that's wonky fixed with one gizmo.

While it's a bit dry in there clean out any sand or dirt from the bottom and next time get some of those discs that will dissolve and fix the water chemical problem.

If it's the handle thingy, that's separate.

Interestingly enough the numbers don't scale.

A family of four = 2 kids, 2 adults is supposed to be 600 a month?

Yet a single adult gets only 56 a month (tops 75) and it's an adult that can't work btw.

So I'm guessing you are using older number OR that's actually 4 children and 2 adults.

They always says the average food stamp recip gets 100 but that's a lie. They rate how much you get by the kids and how much money you have and how much assets you have.

169 So I'm guessing you are using older number OR that's actually 4 children and 2 adults.

They always says the average food stamp recip gets 100 but that's a lie. They rate how much you get by the kids and how much money you have and how much assets you have.


Posted by: jakee308 at February 18, 2019 01:59 PM (9RkRx)

I was just using someone elses numbers, I don't know how much $ people actually get.

I can say that I've seen many $200+ transactions on EBT cards, so $600 didn't seem unreasonable for a single mother with a gaggle of children to me.

Could be much less though, idk.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at February 18, 2019 02:01 PM (GBteo)

170 granted, I'm a single guy and have expensive tastes,
and really only eat high end meat and vegetables, but I still think I
spend less money per person on food in a month than some of the people
I've seen at the grocery store with their EBT cards.



Meat and fresh vegetables aren't really *that* expensive compared to soda, chips, and other assorted junk food.



And they're way more filling. Much more of a bang for your buck.

Back in the eighties when I first saw an onslaught of Russian immigrants, I would see the women in the market and they would only purchase meat, vegetables, bread. Never cereal, cookies, chips, ice cream, soda, etc. I don't know if they were refused food stamps, didn't want to take them due to shame, or did not need or want them. Or, more likely, all the above mentioned junk food simply was not part of their diet.

175 I enjoyed that. I also enjoyed the video on that guy's Twitter feed showing leftists standing in the road trying to block a semitruck, except the semi doesn't stop. Nobody is hurt, but the SJWs are shocked because they assumed the truck would stop and they could, dunno, scream shit at the driver and damage other people's property.

I've come to realize that these people are truly psychopathic. They don't feel the need to follow laws and rules but expect everyone else to, so they can exploit that. Then they get all indignant when others don't. Witness how angry Antifa assholes get when someone actually punches back.

Isn't that the story of the present State of Israel? They made the desert bloom. When they gave up part of their territory, it was filled with greenhouses that the incoming Pali's were supposed to take over and run, to continue the miracle. Pali's came in and destroyed the greenhouses, like locusts, just destroyed everything.

That part of the desert is no longer blooming.

Have you ever looked at the border between Israel and Egypt? The Egyptian side has almost no vegetation, while the Israeli side is covered in shrubs and other desert plants due to their more sustainable grazing practices.

You can buy most foods on food stamps -- just not most prepared foods, or tobacco / alcohol.

There is no reason you can't buy expensive steaks or fresh vegetables with your EBT card... shit, my local farmers market accepts EBT cards.

But I'd *much* rather people spend my money on that. It's the sugary cereals, chips, and soda and other quasi-foods that piss me off.

Like if you're going to waste your own money on empty, processed carbohydrates, whatever. But don't spend my money on that shit. You're supposed to be on the brink of starvation to the point where you need to demand the government give you my money or you wouldnt be able to eat.

At least eat real, nutritious food.

I have a good friend, an independent plumber, who tells me that whenever an old hotel closes or is about to be demolished (especially one built in the 50's or 60's) all of the local plumbers will work to outbid each other for the right to salvage the commodes, because they all work so much better and are in such higher demand than anything that can be purchased new today.

I've been in black neighborhoods at night (as a firefighter) and the whole damned neighborhood is out walking with strollers and standing in the street and little kids are running around.

I think Jessie assumed white people keep the same schedule so they can cause problems at 2 a.m. General speaking, white people don't do such things at 2 a.m. Again, in my experience.

Where I work, bright and early in the morning, the world looks fairly clean and quiet. My understanding, once the sun goes down, it transforms. Even the locals will tell you, "don't be out at night, it's dangerous around here."


So the assumption is, if you are out, you are up to no good.
