Why do we have so many people who can't support themselves and are on food stamps or other programs?

Watch the sheer number of people who are on their phones out in public and every third word is frick or b****.

They can't possibly get any job working at a medical office, car dealership, law firm, etc.

Their ceiling is cursing somebody out at a drive-thru window.....and there's nothing that can be done because their kids end up doing the exact same thing.

It's why the Russians and Chinese think they can beat us in the long run.

How many people on disability are actually disabled? How many soldiers get coached to steal our money by faking issues?

What percentage of these unemployable people are actually unemployable?

I do not get it. The left is cool with mass abortion, canceling folks, wars, assassinations, etc. The right is cool with its share of things that frick people’s lives too.

But heaven fricking forbid we let people fail after taking away their undeserved gov assistance.

We don’t need so much automation in trash/recycling sorting. Sure it would do a better job. But instilling hard work is the start.

The better you perform there, the better you earn.

If you get rid of the social net these people will do better


Before the social net existed groups that are doing bad now thrived.

Most of them can get a job, but they choose not to.

The only solution is to de-incentivize getting free stuff. Able-bodied people need to be cut off. These people could earn a living wage by learning a skill. We will always need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, truck drivers, etc. and these do not require a college education. They just need to get off their lazy arse!

If you have never heard of the Mike Rowe Foundation, look it up. MIke is a really good guy. He gives scholarships.

Most have spent so much time unemployed they are not employable anymore.

They do sometimes work, but only for short periods of time then back to benefits. The restaurant industry survives on these types.

It’s pretty simple really

Just kind of a big job


Get rid of welfare so that isn’t a career option

Actually prosecute criminals so that isn’t a career option

Put the bad kids in their own school with the “tough” teachers

America needs more jails obviously. Don’t send Israel anything next month and we could save this country

In what year do we have to let these people wilt away and die?

Surely in the next, idk, 100 years we will not be able to handle their needs, no? Are we just going to keep importing foreigners until America is 30-40% non American citizens? We’re probably close to 20% now.

How long we doing this? Don’t you think we’ll get to a point dire enough that we HAVE to do something to fix it? Why would allowing our current allotment to succeed or fail not be on the table?

Do you know what motivates me to get out of bed at 5:30, drive in traffic, go work for 9.5 hours in a job I don’t really like and smile and say yes sir to assholes I could kick the shite out of.
Hunger for myself and family because I know nobody else is going to take care of me and my family except me.

Hunger is a terrific motivator.

In fact, in 3 years when my youngest graduates college and goes off my payroll I’m going to retire.

I read a staggering number today from Sean Duffy - Basically, out of the 42 MILLION on Food stamps, only about 15% are the ones who actually qualify for it - The rest are people using food stamps to sell for drugs, or use the food stamps to purchase items for their restaurant, or going to people more than capable of working a job or (guess who? ILLEGALS.

I would require proof of citizenship before you can accept a snap or EBT as a vendor and failure would be fine and potential prison time

No criminal benefits will try out quickly saving the taxpayers billions
