The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itβs corporate greed. Itβs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Excellent condition dyers polypore. If you donβt dye you can dehydrate and gift or trade. They make great yellow, olive green with iron, and the dye in amazingly uv reactive. Like, safety yellow under uv black light. Very cool find. Tree is dying.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

I spin, but I havenβt knit in a while. This is wool roving dyed with: from top- glowing yellow dyers polypore, orange blood root ethanol extraction, the purple is an orchil lichen and the yellow that isnβt glowing is from goldenrod water/simmer. Under uV light

Apothecia, the disk-like structure, is the reproductive part of the fruiting body. Very sexy. Also usnea is natureβs antibiotic. Cool find.

Cool!! I enjoy making yarn that glows in uv light (black light) using mushrooms and plants. Dyerβs polypore glows safety yellow under black light. Bloodroot glows orange. I want to make one with a hidden message π

I hate to repost, but it needs to be repeated.
1 Million to Musk w/ a net worth of 380 Billion, is the equivalent of the Avg. American (with a net worth 380K) spending $1.
Elon spent the Avg. American equivalent of $250 to buy a Presidency.
Think about that.

Peach color on dyed yarn with the lichen that pigment was extracted from
orange cored shadow lichen, the tiny green-brown phaeophyscia rubripulchra, has great pigment, a little powerhouse of peach, purple or yellow depending on extraction of the anthraquinones βΊοΈ

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.
