alright, last chance to argue anything if you want to.


i read up on this btw. i fully endorse it.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/nearly-700-000-will-lose-food-stamps-usda-work-requirement-n1095726



it gets rid of able-bodied freeloaders. there's no reason we should be paying for people to do nothing, when they are fully able to do so.
it's actually a rather weak bill. 20h a week for 3 months over a 3 year period. a young kids paper-route is longer hours than that.



Let's hope it does not include people with serious issues crossing the line with disability like PTSD, depression, drugs, or whatever trauma. Especially in a country where "light" disabilities often ends up with "prison".


Let's hope your scope of understanding is not a such a complete disaster :rofl:

you can "stop" doing drugs before work. how do you have drugs if you don't work anyway? are we paying for that with taxes too?
why can't you work when you are depressed? you think i go to work happy every day?

just because people have "issues", does not mean they are unable to work.

anyway. you have opinions on the list? i assumed you might have a few things to say, but maybe i'm wrong.

fair point to make. i don't think that disqualifies my point though.

my mental state though, is not something you can correctly assume. so please don't in the future.

Your post clearly shows you don't understand the debilitating effects of mental illness.

Neither actually.

The larger characterization of depression is apathy, not sadness. It would be more like saying the ocean is water, not fish.

so when i said you made a fair point i guess i was wrong according to you?
all i said was not to assume other people's mental state in addition.

Nah, fundamentally depression isn't sadness. My worst depression was never sad, it was empty and anxious
