We have six days until snap/food stamp cards might run out of money…predictions

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Nope. She retired in 2023. She was hired in 2004.

When was this alleged shutdown where she drew unemployment?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

And every dime helps to reduce the debt.

Then pay that towards the debt. To me it doesn't matter, because my ass is so broke, I don't pay taxes anymore except on what I buy.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

No, it doesn't jive with "real" reality.

That's what I said. Your reality isn't real.

2013 and 2018.

AI Overview


Yes, furloughed government employees who are not working are generally eligible to collect unemployment benefits through the
Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program, which is administered by state unemployment agencies. However, employees who are required to work without pay are not eligible for unemployment benefits because they are still performing services, although they may qualify for partial benefits if their hours are reduced. Federal employees must apply for benefits in the state where their official duty station is located, and if Congress later approves back pay, they will be required to repay any unemployment benefits received for that same period

You don't read too well, do you? She was laid off, by definition. Had she continued to work, she could not draw unemployment. That is what I said all along. She was a non-essential employee, so she was laid off. You just didn't get it. I believe if you check, there is also a two-week waiting period to even apply for benefits, and those two weeks are NOT paid. At least they weren't when I was unemployed.

This is what you said: Bullshit! She might have been laid off, but you cannot draw unemployment unless you are laid off by the employer. Temporary shutdowns are NOT covered by unemployment because you will be paid eventually. It's the same for teachers during summer break.

You seem to be backpedaling.

You just have a serious comprehension problem. I am done trying to explain reality to someone with his head up his ass.

 

[Freedomisneverfree]

Unless disabled time to get a second job.

 

[BlueGin]

The SNAP program averages out to around $40 per taxpayer per year.

Whoop-de-*******-doo!

Forced charity is bullshit.

Nothing wrong with my comprehension. Maybe you need a writing class so you can communicate better.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Options:

Dems cave and open the .gov before then?

Dems pass a stand alone bill for SNAP?

States cover the shortfall with their rainy day funds?

Blue cities burn?

IMHO

There has never existed a time in contemporary Western society when the population of "helpless" fat people was larger than it is today....The last I read it's around 47 million in the US on SNAP/EBT.

Because of all the "help" our society has given people, we now have tens of millions of fat people who can't live without that "help".

And we've now reached the point where we don't know what the heck else to do with them.

Fat people are starving though

I give up! You win!

If only those claims were true, I'd be solidly on board.

They are as of now, basic facts if you bother to go anywhere for information other than Trump tweets.

 

[krichton]

They aren’t working for free. They will get paid, just delayed.

AND THEY ALWAYS CAN JUST QUIT IF THEY’D PREFER.

When you're asked to work without pay, that's called working for free.

Then they can quit. Same thing happened to me: I quit.

2 days now.

(D)s will feed 100 people if they know one person is starving.

(R)s will starve 100 people if they think 1 person is gaming the system.

The real argument is that can a lot of things programs be done cheaper. And there is thievery, corruption, stealing any other criminal act in many of our programs. There are people who collect checks and benefits who go on cruises. Inner city people. Games are played.
