It’s hard for me to understand how someone can be such a piece of shit. Like yeah, let’s let children starve for no reason at all.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 70 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

No reason at all?! Are you kidding? They're doing it for profit. It's all for the bottom line! If a few kids starve, who cares? Most of them are brown anyway.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think they also genuinely enjoy it and believe somewhere in the future whoever is left will thank them for it

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago

All the white kids who didn't get replaced will thank him.

The funniest part is the stores and their suppliers are pushing for SNAP benefits in the interest of profits, so the profiteering is fighting itself.

I think it's more than that, they are heavily invested in a rather nasty version of the "just world hypothesis": if bad stuff happens to these people, like being poor and hungry, it's because they are bad and deserve it.

It's the same logic at play for blaming victims or rape and sexual violence.

Because the alternative, that the world isn't fair and horrible stuff happens to good people and good things also happen to horrible people, is too unpleasant and exhausting to contemplate and requires complex thought.

Literally how he gets paid. He's a man-child whose every act of petulance and grotesqueness fattens his wallet and raises his social media profile. The only reason he's not filling the hole left by Charlie Kirk's neck is because Nick Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, and JD Vance all scrambled in first.

I think Chowder's career is over after the video of him verbally abusing his pregnant wife came out.

So glad I don't have to see that guy anymore.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Trump raped his wife* and became president.

*technically not rape because the law defined rape in a limited way at the time, kind of like how husbands were exempt in the past

The sad thing about the pandemic and the shift in the political scene is that waaaaay too many people are shitty this way. Not just rich people either. Being a shit human being has gone viral.

[–] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

I just don’t get the “fuck you I got mine” mentality. There’s no empathy from these people. They think everyone who is poor made dumb choices and poor people should suffer for making those dumb choices. After all, just getting a job will sort everything right out according to conservatives, and getting a job is easy to them. They have never been affected by conditions that lead to poverty and it shows.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 hours ago

They have never been affected by conditions that lead to poverty and it shows.

But if you go somewhere like Idaho or Mississippi... They're all fucking poor!! Everyone is poor! Everyone lives hand to mouth and depends on social safety nets like this. But if you're proper homeless then fuck you, no you don't deserve any help?

Blows my mind how entire self contained societies can all equally experience this kind of hardship and then instead of "I don't want anyone else to suffer like we had to", they instead conclude "I had to suffer like this, therefore everyone must suffer like this".

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 hours ago

You mean being lazy? Of course not. They'll be the first to brag about how they work overtime or have more than 1 job to pay the bills.

/s, in case that want obvious.

You can imagine how that went.

They're always so proud of upsetting other people, like it's a major win in the struggle for political dominance.

And yet I was denied when I applied for PPP and I lost my business

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 34 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Shit like that doesn't need to be debated.

Even in Ancient Rome they had a grain dole that... paid for itself! With interest! Because the poor who would otherwise struggle to buy wheat or barley got it, and could buy other stuff, even luxury items. The result is that more and more trade flowed directly to Rome and people made a bundle doing it.

And also less hungry people means less desperate people and it means more stability. Something that basically everyone wants.

But yes, these same right-wing grifters even attacked the grain dole in Ancient Rome as if it lead to the fall of the Roman Empire.

If that's 33 years, then that would mean an individual gets $2121 a year, or $176 a month. Either the SNAP benefits are garbage or this person is exaggerating.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 81 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

SNAP benefits per person are very modest. Nationally, average monthly snap benefits per individual are $187 per month.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Well, look at these moneybags with 187 a month. My elderly neighbor on a fixed income gets 17.00 a month.

[–] plateee@piefed.social 47 points 8 hours ago

It's garbage.

Barely enough to survive on, and if you try to get a second job to supplement income, better hope you don't go beyond the income limits. In Alabama, that's $1,631/mo or about $407 per week. If you make $408? Congrats! No more SNAP.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They are not enough to feed yourself, that’s for sure.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Rice and beans have historically been pretty cheap. You can survive on SNAP if you've got a place to live and no other options. You certainly won't be thriving.

It's the economic equivalent of emergency life support.

[–] Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 hours ago

The only way I managed to have somewhat decent meals while on SNAP was being lucky enough to have a decently sized discount grocer nearby.

That also meant all the meat I bought was only 2-3 days from the sell-by date, and they weren't fucking around with that. If you didn't freeze it, it started going off quickly. Most of my produce came from cans or microwave bags, anything "fresh" was as close to going off as the meat. Dry goods were a mixed bag of overstock, damaged out, and sold so poorly in other stores it got shunted off to discounts just to move.

The freshest things they got in were milk and eggs. Those sold out within the day of delivery. If you couldn't get there early, you went without.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I know it differs per state but for a single member household the max benefit is approx $300 a month. It goes up when adding more family members, with a household of 4 getting approx $1k per month. I guess it is possible that a state offers lower benefits per family member, so $176 isn't too far of a stretch per person. The fact of the matter is that he did it and got away with it, not how many people he technically robbed.

[–] Duranie@leminal.space 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

In 2019 I lost my job and ended up on unemployment. At the time my sons were all still living with me, 20, 18, and 17yo. Unemployment +1 dependant was enough to cover my modest mortgage. My other 2 sons paid the utilities and anything else came from my savings account. We received $15mo in Snap benefits.

It's hard not to slap people who think people with Snap are skating through life.

[–] Bosht@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

Yeah anyone I've experienced that talks shit about SNAP has never been in dire enough straights to actually need that safety net. It's always assholes that have had someone to fall back on, people they can ask for money, or spend mommy and daddy's money without consequence. I support these systems because I know what being dropped on your ass is like and not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. Nobody, especially children, deserve to go hungry in the modern world.

[–] reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net 6 points 6 hours ago

I was on snap in college and I had to resubmit the paperwork to apply every 3 months. What I got would change every time I refiled. I feel like it had a lot to do with which caseworker I got. Sometimes the paperwork would come in the mail past the deadline for the interview and I would have to restart the process.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Everyone who had the opportunity to take out massive PPP loans and default on them is a sucker.

Anyone who believes you're going to shut Steve Crowder up by calling him a hypocrite is an even bigger sucker.

Someone who thinks they can work for Steven Crowder without being sexually assaulted and then fails to press charges is the biggest sucker of them all.

My guy shouldn't be on the Quad spouting rage-bait, he should be in jail for serial rape.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 5 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Anyone who believes you’re going to shut Steve Crowder up by calling him a hypocrite is an even bigger sucker.

But you might be able to convince someone who didn't know already that he's a garbage person. Like me - I'd never heard of him.

SNAP shouldn't be necessary for anyone who works. The fact that in America someone can have a job and yet still needs SNAP to survive is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Pay people a living wage jfc.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I disagree. Pay people UBI so any job automatically becomes a living wage.

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 5 points 52 minutes ago

I liked this one:

Why should anyone try to change your mind about it? When you’re this ignorant and starved for attention, there’s no mind to change

But some of those memes... it fills me with a special kind of disgust to see them go at it inside their bubble.

Conservatives: ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND HOLY SHIT WE’RE STANDING RIGHT FUCKING HERE

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 10 points 59 minutes ago (1 children)

Legitimately every Republican I met is defending themselves, from taking money from the Government, while every leftest is fighting for everyone else to take money from gov programs. Why are retardpublicans so worried about poor people taking from the rich while also stealing the same benefits from working Americans who need it. "Riches for me but no one else" is literally their tagline

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 39 minutes ago

They’ll say “if they’re clever enough to not pay taxes then that’s fine by me!” as billionaires pay less than 1% real tax because they get to write the laws and then they’ll claim that a city bike lane has stolen their tax money.

They’re stupid as hell. Like, profundly fucking stupid. Conservatives are so pathetic and I’m embarrassed to be considered part of the same species as them.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Also this piece of shit doesnt have a mind worth changing. Just ignore him and use the calvin version of the meme, or better yet dont use that format anymore.

Honestly after the whole Kirk thing im kinda surprised to see the grifters are still out in public without a layer of plexiglass. Its not like they can filter out the republicans at a republican meeting.
