    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.

      A new law should be passed, if you have a job and qualify for SNAP then your employer needs to increase your pay by 100 percent until you don’t qualify for SNAP anymore.

    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.

    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.

      It’s hard for me to understand how someone can be such a piece of shit.

      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.

      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.

        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.

    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.

    “I shat in the mall. You can imagine how that went.”

    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.

        hey, please don’t try to use nazi tactics like dehumanization to fight nazis. humans are perfectly capable of evil and 'no u’ing nazi shit legitimizes and normalizes their tactics and doesn’t hurt them or their goals in the slightest.

    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
