So I'm curious, who gets to determine when a parent isn't making a good faith effort.
Again, we've pointed out to you that 40% of households using SNAP and other benefits have at least one working adult.
That's irrelevant. If you are or are not working, it doesn't matter if you are having kids you can't afford to support. Medicaid people are about one-fifth of our society. So how is it that one-fifth of our society are producing 50% of the babies?
So often we on the right tell our personal stories about fat women in the grocery store with three or four kids using food stamps. You on the left try to discredit us saying that those are anomalies and not the average. Well this OP proves we were right all along--and I don't mean just politically.
It's proof that people on welfare are having more children than the working people, and it's not an accident or an unforeseeable event that took place in their lives. The more babies they pop out, the larger the welfare check, the larger the food stamp allowance, the larger HUD house in the suburbs.
We must be the only society in the world where the lowlifes have more than the working. Working families that can only afford one or two children are supporting the non-working that have three, four or more. Where is the justice in that?
The thing is, in order to get to the 10 Million dollar payday like "The Mummy", he had to do a lot of roles like "Top Gun" which are cultural masterpieces that he wasn't paid all that much to appear in. And no one would have gone to see The Mummy if Tom Cruise wasn't in it. No one would have greenlit millions of dollars in pointless CGI.
Now, here's the gag. The real problem with movies is kind of like the real problem with American corporations. The people most responsible for the quality of a movie are the writers. If the story isn't there, the movie won't work no matter how many big movie stars or CGI monsters you put into it.
But there's a joke in Hollywood that "Did you hear the one about the Polish Actress? She was so stupid she slept with the writer!"
similiarly, when big industry cheats the people on the line actually designing and making the product for big payouts to CEO's, it's no big surprise the quality sucks and people buy Japanese shit.
That's not why people are buying foreign products.
Americans buy foreign products because they are cheaper. We don't care where it's made, we don't care how many Americans we put out of work, we don't care about the quality. We care about getting the cheapest products we can.
For American companies to survive, they have to make the cheapest product (or as close as they can to the cheapest) and you can't do that by paying superior wages and benefits to your workers. If you could change the attitude of the American consumer where made in USA is paramount, you would be able to solve our low paying jobs problem.
One of our customers makes products for Walmart. Walmart is their largest customer, so when Walmart yells "jump" they ask how high.
Walmart got on their case to make a particular product cheaper. So our customer had to search around for another company that made a part of their product for less money. They found one. It was a plastic company that invested in automation, and they were able to beat the price of the plastic company that did things more manually requiring more physical labor.
Luckily for us, the new plastic company was also a local customer of ours, and we kept the delivery. Not so in another case where our customer was using a local for wrapping material. They found another cheaper company out of town or country, and that was about two to three trailer loads a week we lost on that one.
But this is why Walmart is number one. They are actively seeking the lowest prices for their customers because that's what their customers demand.
