Because I actually work for, and earn for my boss. People don’t work and earn for welfare. It’s free to them.
But I have a solution, since you are so passionate about this, and you make more than the average person in the US right now. I think ya should take 1/2 of your paycheck, and give out to people who are on SNAP. You can divide it up, or just give it to one person.
Seriously! Do that! And just cut back your living. It’ll be tight, you can do it. Now do that for a year, and tell me how happy you’d be if you saw those people you were giving your money to, going to mcdonalds, buying the latest fashion, etc.
Then come back and tell us how awesome it was or not awesome it was, seeing them waste that money you gave to them in order to help them out.
Because, see, there is NOTHING and NO LAW that says you can’t give your money away. At all. You feel bad for SNAP people, I get that and admire it. So step up, take some deep cuts, and donate YOUR money to them. You are free to do that.
I’d much rather focus on regulating how corporations spend their much larger federal subsidies than quibbling over how families spend SNAP benefits. You’re penny-wise, pound-foolish. Fiscal irresponsibility is the hallmark of conservative thought.
Spending your welfare benefits on McDonalds instead of cheaper, healthier food optoins is fiscal irresponsibility.
Listen to yourself. You’re arguing for poor people to spend their money at McDonalds instead of cheaper and healthier options. lol
I also believe that we should stop giving corporations federal subsidies. So how much money out of your paycheck are you going to start donating so that people can buy MdDonalds instead of groceries. Ya gonna help them do that?
Dude, I get you are mad because it’s a republican thing, but you are on the wrong side of the argument. Also, I’m not republican. lol
You’re arguing for poor people to spend their money at McDonalds instead of cheaper and healthier options.
Poor reading comprehension is another hallmark of conservative thought. I did no such thing, I just said it’s an inefficient thing to focus on. You’re preoccupied on people taking too many pennies out of the take-a-penny tray while your nephew is stealing $20s from the till. It’s just a dumb thing to focus your attention on.
Obviously I think they should be buying groceries, and surprise surprise the vast majority of them are. Is not that I’m arguing that they should be buying McDonald’s, I’m saying it’s such an insignificant occurrence that taking a stand is entirely performative. It’s already the law in most states that SNAP can’t be used on prepared food. This issue is a nothing-burger, it’s not worth the time and effort to police.
I also believe that we should stop giving corporations federal subsidies
Where are your posts about that? How much of your time are you going to start spending protesting corporate subsidies?
Dude, I get you are mad because it’s a republican thing, but you are on the wrong side of the argument. Also, I’m not republican. lol
Projection, another conservative hallmark. Why do you assume I’m mad? It’s just stupid.
Again with the reading comprehension, I never said the word “republican”. I said conservative, since you posted this on a conservative instance.
It’s already the law in most states that SNAP can’t be used on prepared food.
But not in this lawmakers state. Did you get mad at the other states that say SNAP can’t be used on prepared food?
Where are your posts about that?
I have plenty of posts against the duopoly and how they suck. And if there were a news article today about corporate welfare, I’d be posting it.
Projection, another conservative hallmark. I said conservative, since you posted this on a conservative instance.
I’m not conservative. Are we now defined by the news article we post and the instance we post them on? I’ve posted more news articles on liberal instances than conservative instances, so does that make me liberal? I’ve posted anti-republican stories, so does that make me anti-republican?
You’re replying to posts on a conservative instance, does that make you a conservative?
Also, what makes you think this is a conservative instance? There are nothing in the guidelines of this instance that make it a conservative instance, and there are more non-conservative communities on here than there are conservative communities.
And was it “stupid and performative” in all the other states, including democrat-run states that ban snap from buying mcdonalds? Funny how those govs and lawmakers didn’t find it so stupid. It’s almost as if… as if… they did research on it.
Here are the ones that don’t allow it. Man, seems like a lot of states being “stupid and performative” huh?
Except that isn’t how it works. SNAP, by default, does not cover hot or prepared foods. What’s being referred here is the Restaurant Meals Program, which is an optional program states can choose to opt into. If they choose to do so, then certain SNAP recipients can qualify for RMP:
To be eligible for the RMP, SNAP clients must be certified for SNAP in a state that has an RMP and all members of the household must be either:
-Elderly (60 years of age or older);
-disabled (receives disability or blindness payments or receives disability retirement benefits from a governmental agency because of a disability considered permanent);
-homeless; or
-a spouse of a SNAP client who is eligible for the RMP.
This is a program designed specifically to help the elderly, disabled, and people without kitchens. The state has to opt in, and then they decide which restaurants are eligible. It’s almost as if… you didn’t actually research this policy.
I don’t mind if the people who don’t have the means to cook eat some McDonald’s now and then. This is chasing after pennies instead of going after more significant ant drains on taxpayers. Yes, it’s stupid and performative.
Damn, your full of assumptions, I don’t make more than the average, and I already spent 20$ per week making 20kg of food for a mutual aid to feed homeless, they deserve a warm meal. and you showed your entitled ass, you do consider yourself superior to the poor because you “earned it”. which is bs because most people on smap work full time.
queue in about you complaining that I’m making it up, or I’m being performative, or I’m doing it only to feel better…
I think you are making it up, being performative, and doing it to feel better. And yes, you do make more than average. So how much more are ya gonna donate to the people who get snap? The do deserve a warm meal. Which is cheaper if they make it than if they buy mcdonalds. They would actually have MORE warm meals if they but basics rather than a McDonalds meal.
Bro, think about it. You are arguing for people to spend their welfare benefts on McDonalds. That doesn’t make any financial sense at all! lol
No they’re serious and it’s despicable. Fuck that homeless vet, fuck those blind people, fuck that mother working two jobs because her POS husband abandoned her and the kids for hookers and blow or just because adulting is HARD.
Well, like I said, you are totally free to give YOUR money away with no strings attached. But the government does attach strings, and I think it’s a godo thing!
I never said anyone was inferior. You seem to be projecting. Are you going to write to the govs of the democratic-led states that don’t allow McDonalds to be bought with SNAP benefits, to let them know that you disagree with them?!
And wow, you’re not letting me choose my “identity” and telling me what I “identify” as. Wow, just wow. You do know that it’s not cool to attack what someone does or does not “identify” as, right?
You sound like a bigot and a fascist. Thanks for letting the real you show up.
I can’t take you seriously since you don’t believe in letting people identify how they see fit. And all that projecting. Ewww. How very Nazi of you. So gross.
So here is a list of states that don’t allow SNAP to buy McDonalds. Are you going to write them a letter and tell them how wrong they are?

I misspoke, my bad. I meant community. The community is literally “Conservative and Conservative2”.
