God damn, USA is going to need extra stamps now.

Amazon 30K
UPS 48K
Intel 24K
Ford 11K
Nestle 15K
MSFT 7K

Lordy.


A bit more than 100k, the US has got 40 million people on food stamps. A 0.25% increase isn't going to change much. Rather, having 40m out of 320m on food stamps is more alarming, that's every 8th household.

Those are just ones that I know of. You google there's lots more.

I don't think employment is going to see overly posative news for a long time.

Considering 40 to 50m out of 320m is illegal immigrants.
Morelike 40 million out of 250 or 260m on food stamps.

So nearly 1/5 using that logic.

But better to just take it all away to laugh at fats.

That is absurd. Like 5x the rate of average first world nations.

Yes.

Bullying fats would be one of the many early steps to healing civilization

There is nothing more American that pitting the most economically vulnerable against their respective needs for food and healthcare.

The only people that should be given food stamps are the elderly and the handicapped.

No one is asking the real questions: why do so many people in a first world nation need food stamps? Is there a problem with employment or the wages paid? Addressing those issues should be the priority long term.
