That will never happen because people can't get their heads around giving SNAP right now!
Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβbut in jobs that pay poverty wages
I'm proud of myself, fixed the dryer - belt snapped so it wasn't turning. Had to order a manual because none of the YouTube vids I found had a setup like mine but learned there was a little access panel on the back that went straight to the pulley. Saving $$ feeds my cheapness gene.

So much of this is going on in American newsrooms right now, and not just to kowtow to Trump.
Example: Consider how little is being written about the extreme radicalization of Silicon Valley.

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but itβs always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get βcaught upβ in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.
