BarbarianElephant posted:Sometimes people on EBT cards buy indulgent poo poo precisely *because* they need money for things like toilet paper and soap and diapers. They sell them to their neighbors for cash. So if you see a poor person with a trolley full of ramen, lunch meat and white bread, along with two lobsters and a birthday cake, they aren't necessarily idiots, but buying the fancy stuff for a neighbor in exchange for cash for essentials not covered by EBT. Oh, I know, but try explaining that to someone who has totally seen that happen last night at Walmart. Or even the fact that poor people need indulgences to feel like a person once in a while.

Until you guys pointed out the EBT card, I thought the joke of the comic was "stuck-up liberal doesn't know what a Real White Working Class Hardworking Dude looks like".

Johnny Walker posted:I think the cartoon is implying since he doesn't have to spend his own money on food, he can buy luxury items like expensive jeans. This is exactly the message of the comic. This is why the cashier is giving a disapproving glare, it is to show that an actual working person like her is angry that the poor are lazy and buying luxury items and food with her tax dollars.

I'd like to think the cashier is like any other cashier and glaring at the guy with the phone "Go the gently caress away, stop hassling customers you poo poo". It's stuff like this part of the reason I don't have any government assistance despite being pretty much incapable of employment. If there's even a chance at getting an EBT card I'm pretty much hosed living in a town full of either hicks or old people.

I once had an intern who was a college libtard who tried to explain it as "Companies are black boxes for generating profit. Or they should be at least. Regulations get in their way of finding the most efficient path to wealth." Which he thought was super loving clever even though that's not something you can really treat as a black box problem. He most likely just learned about black boxes in physics class that week. When I brought up that "finding the most efficient path" to profit usually involves solutions you really don't want as a society, with the example of unscrupulous bakers using plaster/sawdust as fillers to use less material in bread to save on cost, he just didn't seem to process it. I think his first response was to assume it was a crazy hypothetical, "What, these bakers are funneling research money into plaster bread?". He later fell back on "well what's so wrong with that??" when shown that companies did in fact use underhanded methods like that before regulations like The Pure Food and Drug Act. So ultimately it just boils down to: Making money as fast and easily as possible is the only goal. Nothing else matters. Other choice quotes from this kid: He tried to claim that George Washington and all of the founding fathers were Libertarian (as in the sense of modern Right-Libertarianism which is what we know today, not the classical Libertarianism) and didn't want taxes at all, while also not knowing what the Whiskey Rebellion was or what it was about. Defended Coal Towns and script with "Well they were still living, right?".

Michael Eugene Fuckwad Lester, you racist wife beating sack of monkey gently caress. Just like every other typical white dude from Georgia who has a UGA license plate, UGA hat, shirt, tattoo, and UGA strap to hold the costa del mar's around your neck, yet flunked out of Valdosta State in two semesters and now works in daddy's business, you gotta pull this welfare queen bullshit because everyone else is obviously gaming the system. I look forward to the day you slap the missus around a little too hard and end up getting every loving thing coming to you.

The right are upset about liberals pointing out that they are starting to talk about Muslims like Hitler talked about Jews. Since the right-wing solution to any criticism is to go "No, you!" then this means that liberals and left-wingers are suddenly all Nazis.

Farking Bastage posted:Jesus titty-loving Christ on a stick. Usually it's Branco who puts me in a bad mood, but this poo poo right here... Even when I left the military and went on unemployment, I still didn't qualify for food stamps - because I was living with close family members. Add to this that I had to demonstrate that I was actively looking for work on a weekly basis by showing up at a job center with applications and updated resumes just to keep the meager ~$600 a month I was being given, and even then, the unemployment office still found cause to ask for ~$2000 of it back once I did start working full time again, in spite of the fact I called and told them the minute I got the full time job. This is in Texas. I don't know how it is in other states, but for me, getting "free poo poo" wasn't easy and hardly a loving scam. It's made me realize that the whole wellfare queen thing is bullshit, and any time some dumbfuck oxy-riddled redneck at my job goes off on people mooching off the gov't, I loving die a little more each time. edit: I want to clarify that I'm not pissing and moaning I didn't get food stamps - the whole experience made me realize that the stamps are intended for the truly destitute and suffering. I was lucky to have a home to move into when I separated. You see someone at the supermarket pull out a EBT card, that person's hurting.
