you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

I got fired a month after my second child was born. Because this was incredibly unexpected, my family of four applied for SNAP and every other benefit for which we were eligible.

I have a PhD, my wife has a BS, and it took us HOURS to figure out the paperwork, and it was incredibly laborious even though there was a massive paper trail that I was terminated with no cause.

These loving shitlibs "help" people by setting up a drowning pool of paperwork, and if two highly educated people have difficulty navigating that storm of paper then what is happening with poor folk WITHOUT a combined 15 years of higher education?

What I'm saying is 1) liberals can burn in hell, 2) Bernie!

ok i'm glad it isn't only me. i've been on Medi-Cal and CalFresh (aka medicare for poors and food stamps, but in california) for a couple years and once it's set up it's been relatively smooth but the setup process was intensely emotionally and mentally draining. I thought it was just me being a fuckup who gets deer-in-headlights about bureaucracy. If I didn't have the county HHS office relatively accessible to me, and tried to do it by mail, I would have failed, without a doubt.

its nearly impossible to figure out on purpose because the fewer people manage to jump through all the hoops the less money you have to spend

i will say that at least in my county the line workers at the HHS office were great and clearly gave a poo poo about helping people. the problem is the rich people who administrate and legislate this poo poo

and if make any mistakes on the paperwork (or if the offices make mistakes themselves) they've started trying to claw back old benefits. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2019/oct/15/zombie-debt-benefits-overpayment-poverty

Calling it debt, but carving out exceptions for any debt collection regulations since it's "government debt"

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

I applied for MediCal but by the time they finally responded to me over two months later I'd already found a job with full benefits. Now they won't stop sending me forms for the insurance I told them I no longer need.

Edit: when I applied for SNAP several years ago they took three months to approve me but they did backdate my benefits to my application date, at least.

Yeah buddy it's not just you. While before this life event I was always very sympathetic to the plight of the lower class and the impoverished, when we were filling these forms out I remember turning to my wife and saying, "I'm a loving DOCTOR and these forms barely make sense to me. How could someone with a high school education fill these out? This is bullshit!"

I think Bernie should hit this point and hit it hard.

quote:

Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders ate at Westchester’s Ayara Thai on Thursday night. Senator Sanders was in town to participate in the Democratic Debate at Loyola Marymount University in Playa Vista. Sanders chose tom yum and pad Thai as a post-debate meal, and posed with staff members for pictures. “Bernie could have eaten anywhere but chose to support a local small business — an immigrant family-owned and operated restaurant to be exact,” says owner/chef Vanda Asapahu. “Many candidates say that small businesses are the backbone of America, happy to report that Bernie does not just talk the talk, he definitely walks the walk.”

But... Bernie IS bad.

He's bad for the billionaire & millionaire class. He's also bad for the military industrial complex, the health insurance industry and all those fuckers who think Palestine should remain an open air prison.

This makes him good for almost everyone else.
