This is a pro-LGBTQIA+ community. We support equal rights.

A community for some conservative points of view. Including general news.

Warning: I have reported, and will keep reporting, violent extremist posts on Lemmy to the FBI. I report comments supporting violence against elected officials, and domestic terrorism activity, to https://tips.fbi.gov/home

Rule 0: Serial downvoters will be banned.

πŸƒπŸŒ» Rule 1: Kindly be empathetic and kind to others. Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated.

Rule 2: Keep it Civil - It’s NOT OK to say another USER is a (pejorative) or a paid (pejorative).

Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.

All of us are here for a short lifetime. Let’s have a nice time here and avoid negativity. :)

Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.

Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.

Be grown-ups.

Have you considered that the ones who opted in did do the research, and decided it was a worthwhile program to employ? Your argument is very stupid.

Have you considered that the ones who opted OUT did do the research, and decided it was a worthwhile program to discontinue? Your argument is very stupid.

Stay mad. But no one is listening to you on this subject. So be sure to donate your paycheck to people so they can buy mcdonalds. Nothing is stopping you from donating.

Once again, not how it works. They did not "choose" to discontinue. You don't have to opt out, it's not an active decision. Opting in is the active decision.

Stay mad.

Typical conservative projection. The rest of us don't make decisions based on anger. I don't think this is stupid because I'm mad, I'm not mad. I think it's stupid because it is stupid.

Why do you want to prevent people who can't cook from having food? Why is this the issue you're pushing? It sounds like you're mad over sometime totally insignificant. It's kinda pathetic, really. Unless your time is literally worthless, the time you've spent defending this would be with significantly more than your share of funding the RMP.

That's why I keep saying it's performative. You don't actually benefit at all. You're just attacking poor people for the optics. Very pathetic.

I'm not attacking anyone and I'm not mad. My state already keeps people on SNAP from buying McDonalds with their benefits, as do most states.

But oh well, because this just came out: https://www.newsweek.com/snap-benefits-update-usda-completely-deconstruct-program-11071472

Rollins said early data already showed that "186,000 dead people are receiving SNAP benefits," while another 500,000 people are receiving the benefits in more than one state.
