and the companies that have permanent "temporary" employees working 30-40hr weeks but class them so they don't get benefits...

Exactly! It's not just that we're all subsidizing the lowwages paid by ripoff employers. Their grotesque income levels are proof they're taking too much for themselves, that they in no way EARNED.

I’m thinking their are a ton of Amazon order pickers on food stamps. Bezos treats that position like shit.

yes, please, a lot of jobs in my industry became contractor only jobs in the last few years It really sucks not getting any pay during the holidays, no sick pay etc and things like this

Yep. I worked at Hellmart from '06-'11. I had begged for full time hours. Because I needed to move out of my parents house (we didn't get along). They gave me vague info on applying for section 8 housing and other government assistance.

Look up how many military service members are on food stamps.

Plenty of Amazon workers are enrolled in SNAP…

and i’m an “independent contractor” yet, they micromanage every aspect of my work to the point where I can’t even take a bathroom break without having a limited number of minutes per day tracked for such activities..

💯 I refuse to spend a penny at Walmart. (I recognize I’m fortunate enough to live in area where I have about a hundred other options, and not everyone does.) There is no reason at all they can’t pay their employees other than greed.

Walmart and McDonald's got caught coaching new hires on what stuff to sign up for. Snap,section 8, etc. Keep them under 35 hours to make them part time employees and not have to offer medical.

they would make the duration of projects short, so you’d have to do unpaid training most weeks for new projects sometimes, they’d make you do a training unpaid, only at the end you’d find out there was no longer any paid work available on that project, so you wasted your time .

One company I worked for briefly, they went so far as to make it so that independent contractors had to do all their training on unpaid time. Yet you were not allowed to access any paid projects until you showed you did certain number of hours of the unpaid training first

In most OECD countries, wages + state benefits (e.g. family tax credits, subsidized childcare, healthcare) combine to reach a living standard

The fact that the US is the richest country in the world, but has the highest rate of poverty amongst developed nations, and your claim that paying a living wage would make a large swath of the population unemployable means something has gone horribly wrong.

The grotesque anti-Muslim attacks on Mamdani have their own particular stench of our degraded moment but they are also a sharp reminder that this has been a constitutive part of the American character as far back as any of us can see

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities? Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children? And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social www.thenorthstar.com/p/dallas-rab... Take note of the word *FAKE* and then fuck off for supporting that disgusting zionist projection propaganda with your full chest but absolutely no evidence or critical thinking. These are the people that you defend without question.

2025: The real horror show, just in time for Halloween.

372 Days until the Midterms #TrumpTheEnemyOfThePlanet 💦🌎 Landmark deal to cut global shipping emissions in tatters after US pressure But Trump had called the plan a "green scam" and his administration threatened countries with tariffs if they voted in favour of it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

Department of Homeland Security is funneling $10 billion through the Navy in order to construct a sprawling network of migrant detention centers in Louisiana, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Pennsylvania and Utah. A source tells CNN that facilities could hold as many as 10,000 people each.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works. We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸 www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

What’s the real reason that over a month after her election, Adelita Grijalva is STILL waiting to be sworn in? Mike Johnson wants to protect those in the Epstein Files. Full stop.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

Parents in their 80s want to walk more. I've had a look on maps and streetview and their range isn't limited by their capability but by roads that are too dangerous for them to cross. Suburbs are not healthy places to retire to.

US Citizen dragged from car by Border Patrol in Chicago After hitting her car from behind "I was in shock and terrified.” Video from witness provides a different angle of encounter. Bystander who is filming tells federal agents: "You hit her. We all saw it." www.newsweek.com/us-citizen-d...

Frustrated Arizonans have waited over a month as Mike Johnson refuses to swear their new congresswoman in #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/p...

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

They're sending them back because there's no evidence they're smuggling drugs. The US military is just straight up murdering people in plain sight

It makes total sense when you realize the regime is just unlawfully executing folks to heighten tensions with another country.

And trafficked humans for sex & slavery, solicited murder 4 hire, sold stolen identities, arranged fraud .....

It's not about drugs. #TrumpLies

And we now have the concentration camps to prove it.

They have been making plans for it for at least a decade.

If America is ok with extrajudicial killing of foreigners, it makes it very easy for the administration next to turn the military on us

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

They're giving all this money to Argentina so they have a safe place to go when the international trials start.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

This girl is a complete loser, if she wasn't John's daughter she be saying "Can I take your order" all day.
