Good, it is completely unnecessary. It's a bad solution to an old problem that already has much better solutions out there that are much more accessible too. They only made it so people will rely on them for everything and stop trusting others, but thankfully it failed. Canonical should be ashamed of themselves for ever trying this snap thing.

SNAP has traditionally been entirely federally funded, but is administered by states. That means the shutdown's impact on SNAP and when benefits will start to dry up will vary state by state.

So about those government contracts for immigration, you would think some of those states that raked in a lot of money, could perhaps use that ill-gotten money to at least benefit the residents of their states.

Funny that Florida got more than half a billion dollars from the government the day before the shutdown, but they just can't find it within their hearts or their budget to use any of that money to feed families relying on food stamps in their state. Wonder where it's going instead?

Fact: absolutely none of this would have happened if Kamala had won.

This will destroy the US economy. I hope you like standing in bread lines...

this is a disaster for the people affected (and also every society is 3 days without food before violent revolutions and all that) but also IMO these programs should ideally be paid for by the states anyways, not the federal government. i also think that taxes should go to the states instead of the federal government, and the states then forward whatever amount is appropriate to the federal government. that would make the states more resilient against these kinds of federal fraud.

This administration needs to be concerned about what happens when you have millions of people with nothing to lose anymore.

But it's OK: Kristi Noem gets two $170,000,000 private jets, Trump gets a golden ballroom, a luxury airliner and billions of dollars in bribes, Argentina gets $40,000,000,000, and ICE get all the weaponry they desire plus big fat bonuses for hitting their kidnapping targets. So as you sit hungry through the holiday season, know that your tax dollars are at least giving someone a good time.

Just a reminder that no one steals food in America. If you thought you saw someone shoplifting food, no you didn't! That never happened, you imagined it, turn around and walk away, nothing to report here.

Republicans don't give a fuck if they kill people by withholding healthcare, obviously they don't give a fuck if people starve.

At some point the Democrats have got to realize this and start acting accordingly, but Democrats are still bending the knee: 13 Senate Democrats just voted to install a conservative judge in Alabama.

Did somebody say Bell riots? I thought I heard Bell riots.

Good we should stop paying our taxes.

It's mostly going to be the elderly who suffer. People just forget about old people. They can't get out and go stand in line at food pantries.

Sometimes they don't have anyone checking on them very often.

Most don't know how to get online and find services and such.

If you have an elderly neighbor or family member. Try to check with them and see if they need help.

The leopards! They hunger!

Thing is, it's gonna hit the rural MAGA folks the hardest.

There's a part of me that wants to go "I told you so.." which is expected..

But the more cunning part of me wants to leverage their hunger, dismay and rage and work to aim it squarely against Trump and the entire MAGA movement.

Not an American but if the government shutsdown and they are cancelling programs, shouldn't you not have to pay taxes for that time period?

And with only one week for people to prepare. Smooth.

Both sides.
