re: Why do we buy formula for people on the dole?

No, you start by taking malnourished babies from unfit mothers, sterilizing the mothers and cutting off their benefits, and raising the babies in a place where they learn and grow in a healthy environment, eventually producing productive citizens.

It can't happen because of scum politicians who would balk at their vote farms being saved (and thus less likely to vote for them), but it's actually a tenable solution long term.


Imagine. Reduced crime. Reduced blight. Less illegitimate children destined to be wards of the state. Increased education. More productive citizens. Less health problems.

why exactly are we buying expensive (and it is extremely expensive. Just go look at the formula section in the store) formula for babies when a better, cheaper and healthier alternative is literally hanging in front of them?

You realize that with WIC, they have to get a specific formula(in AZ that formula is Similac Advance)? Only way they can get a different formula is if a doctor prescribes it(say the baby is a NICU grad and needs a more calorie dense formula like Neosure).

Not every woman can breastfeed fwiw. I don't think starving innocent babies is ever an answer.

So, in the long run, you'll end up paying for their housing and food and clothes and education and in many cases incarceration.

You'll deal with the violence and the blight and the crime that comes from a broken system of households that largely don't care.

And thus you have kids that don't care. And it bleeds over to every facet of their lives.

Who is doing this exactly? The government? You have some wide fantasies about the ability of government to do anything right.

In order for us to fix the problem you've so eloquently outlined in the this post. We need to fix Government provided housing, nutrition programs, and most importantly education.

You're advocating for a HUGE increase in federal spending which time and time again has been proven a failure. I'm not as confident as you that government can solve this problem.

I wasnt hating on you

Our society depends on a portion of the population being poor. Are we going to start paying people who do unskilled labor more money?

And when robots take these unskilled labor jobs over?

Unless you start to curb the breeding of this subclass of unskilled poor, you'll end up with prolific breeding rates (because we subsidize their breeding) and few jobs they can perform.

So unless you start turning them into robot fuel, you'll have to pay them something.

That or eliminate them.

The future will be Bloody.

so they shouldn't have any valid distractions to keep them from taking care of their babies.

some women cannot produce enough milk. before the invention of formula, there were wet nurses to help out.

When robots take over, then frick it. Once I have my driverless car, I will care a lot less. Game on, poor people.

Someone just wanted to make a thread about titties.

that milk is laced with meth and crack

Not THIS government. But a future type government? One more automated and pragmatic? Possibly.

What do you think robots would do if they ever gained control? They'd identify the most useless people, the net drains, and eliminate them.

This government we have now is bloated and inefficient. You streamline it and pare it down and have it able to make decisions and take action without the slog of red tape and maybe that government is better...in an objective sense.

I think most freedom loving individuals are terrified of a streamlined and efficient government. You're advocating for tyranny, you realize this right?
