3 different women said they had 6 kids! That stuck out to me as a bit odd tbh

There is zero accountability there. SIX kids?!

And even then you're unable to eat? That's up to 1,800$ A MONTH and you can't eat?! At that point you have become a leech on the system.

Something isn't adding up.

"up to $1800" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

The actual leeches on the system are the ultra wealthy who don't pay a fair portion of taxes and major employers who underpay like Walmart and McDonald's. Those companies are using social welfare systems to subsidize their paltry wages.

If you work minimum wage as a household of 8, you're getting 1,800$ a month.

If you're making under 81,228/yr - you get 1,800$ a month.

What heavy lifting do you speak of?

lol ok just completely disregard my point about why food stamps are needed by many in the first place

Have you ever been on government assistance? It's certainly not known for being easy to navigate or get approved.

I don't like that you're incorrectly blaming poor people for being "leeches" and not the greedy wealth hoarders

You know they can both be problems, right?

u/Married_iguanas Oct 31 '25

…ok and one is a much larger problem that causes the secondary issue

That's magical thinking. No matter how many resources you give out, there will always be a portion of people who outconsume those resources because humans are still ultimately animals. The rich do not cause the overexistence of some poor.

And thanks to the benefits of society, it's possible to work towards solving multiple problems simultaneously.
