Those food banks and soup kitchens wont be able to keep up with demand they're not an infinite resource.

They’re an underutilized resource. If you’ve never volunteered, you can’t possibly imagine the amount of food that gets thrown out because it had been sitting in the back for years. Canada is a terrible example for charity as the government took over that responsibility and failed miserably, people who would easily donate food in the US are drowning in taxes and expecting someone else to pick up the bill. Maybe if they actually did means testing and weeded out the Indians who lied about having the financial means to go to school abroad, or who take the food despite being able to afford it because it’s free, the problem would stop
 
They'll pass some emergency fuck spending bill to give the inner city niggers more free McDonald's money because of some bullshit about how its literally impossible for poor single mothers of eight to work. They'll never, ever stop the handouts for poor blacks because they'd lose the votes.

EBT and other assistance should be directly tied to SS Disability and unless your ass is physically crippled you shouldn't qualify. Stop giving autists a tugboat, put them to work in the factories.

Terrifying stuff. SNAP is for feeding loud black children, not quiet white ones.

Truly my fault for not elaborating. They weren’t scary for the reasons in my short description. They were scary because the children and attending mother were all dressed in old timey rags, all silent and stared at the floor and were clearly forbidden to interact with anyone. The father figured barked orders at their family. The mothers and children would flinch in response and silently obey. It was like they were on a dangerous safari to the modern world. I’m describing unusual circumstances and not the norm, but one that was more common where I was living in a mountain region.

They would load on up on 100s of dollars of pantry staple groceries, all paid with EBT.

Also in this region, it was harder to receive welfare, so it always piqued my curioudity on how they managed it.

Because there were less food stamps, there were more food pantries and efforts to help each other. Neighbors were known to garden and regularly share their produce. For example, our place might have potatoes, the neighbors would have greens, their neighbor might have more squash, so everyone would set up neighborhood tables and we’d trade and share with those who didn’t have the ability to garden.

Eh, the teachers are right in this case. Anything science-based like math needs replication and documentation, so showing your work is necessary. So, when a student shrugs and says "I just know it," number one, you're taking it on faith (or using the answer key) that they're right, and two, if they're wrong, no one has any idea where they're wrong.

Any artisan job requires documentation as well. The problem is when it's something too easy there isn't even a thought process for it. Like, I don't have a problem with this in trigonometry where anything you do in your head still has a thought process. But then you'll have elementary school math classes do the same. If you're a head in arithmetic class it's abysmal because a problem like 99*80 isn't one that even needs thinking, that's 7920. I could waste time explaining why it's 7920 but I already knew it. And that's the issue there. When you have to think and there's a process more than just (oh I know what that is) it's fine. But like, I just know it's 7920. There is no process my mind simply understands those are two equivalent statements 99*80 is saying the same thing as 7920. Like, what would my work be? I recognize the pattern here and the end result is 7920?

There may never be zero legitimate need for begging others for charity, because there could be legitimate reasons why you need to beg your neighbor to provide for you, at his discretion, when you are temporarily unable to provide for yourself and your family, for which you should feel ashamed.

There is zero legitimate need for systems that automatically rob productive citizens and feed parasites, and obfuscate this action between the back-and-forth flow of tax dollars, EBT, GIBME or whatever point systems.

Then the neighbor better be ready (and quiet) for a few less cents of profit on his investments, trade protections on most things esp including anything/everything that could be grown, dug up, manufactured, produced and created locally, hard and strict rules legally preventing monopolies or high consolidated industries, border and immigration controls, and government intervention/protection of industry and jobs. They better be ready for, smile and eat it!

Until/unless that all happens.. we have the next best thing. People need to learn to deal with it.

I'd rather not the richest country in the world start acting like a libertardian utopia.. Otherwise known as a failed state, 3rd world hell hole, dark age society or rich/elite playground.

This is really shitty fan fiction

In most American schools, when your math teacher wants you to show your work, they actually want you to get to the answer exactly the way they did.
I knew super intelligent kids who would get in trouble for it because they had the correct answer, but they didn’t get to it the way that the state wanted them to.
The education system does not support individual thinking.

Not saying it doesn’t happen, but whenever I hear this bit I always wonder if they actually did it correctly or if they got the right answer by luck with wrong math.

It's laborious to write out with pencil?
99
*80
00
+792
7920

Another way to explain it is "If 99*8=792, 80 is a multiple of 10, so I added a zero at the end of it."

You give out very little sugar with your pronouncements, but the fact is that ending automatic welfare isn't going to have even half of those effects, and the ones that do occur (like reduced quarterly gains for megacorporations) are actually long-term beneficial for average productive citizens.

Prairie Muffins on a bleed-the-beast run.

As for the current EBT situation, the more I look into what the Dems are throwing a tantrum over, along with the astroturfed social media race war, the more I hope Americans are made of sterner stuff than we think and the Republicans hold their ground.

Find out which Democrats are holding out for free gibs to non-citizens and flood their offices with hate mail. (or whatever kids today do when displeased with the overlords)

I’m not a mathematics genius and never was, so I wasn’t one of the kids who I was implying about. But these kids would consistently solve algebra or trig problems in the same way, and get correct answers. So it wasn’t by luck.

In my case, my parents would help me with math homework the way that they learned how to do it. They weren’t taught wrong; you had engineers operating at the time with the same math skill set.
But my teachers would talk to them sometimes, and tell them that even though it was the correct answer, and the way that the teacher themself was originally taught how to do it, the state wanted it done a different way.
And when I was in high school, middle school kids had began to be taught a different way because of common core adaptations.
So when I was in middle and high school, my parents stopped trying to help me find the correct answer, and asked me how the teacher wanted it. But my parents could still “show the work” as to how they got to the correct conclusion.

Anyone who isn’t aware of the way that math is taught changing are either oblivious to it, or don’t have kids in public school themselves.
Except for things like basic math. That doesn’t really change operations.

I realize they aren’t the majority of recipients, but I’d still love to be a spider in their cupboard to hear how they are coping, or what their churches are saying. Though they probably are the types that stock up on staples.

I've met someone similar, their breadwinner/husband specifically. Your assumption is probably correct; from what he told me they hoard enough supplies to last years if the supply lines were to ever go down. The Amish and these pseudo-Appalachian types will inherit the country once it all goes down.

Already happening lol. The White birth rate of 1.5 doesn't mean anything. When you have Asian birth rates for PMC liberals, Central Asian for Right Wingers and African for the Amish, Mennonites and other similar.

Mormons too, the western half of the country will prog be majority Mormon by 2100 they have a birth rate that’s also very high. I’d say it’s between central Asian and African

It was a huge white pill to learn that
