"About 59% of SNAP households in 2023 were single-person
households, and the majority of those individuals were elderly
or had a disability."
I was watching a video from the Real Life Fake Wizard (who usually does dumb comentary about the entertainment industry) in which he addressed the economics of being a white man in the US. Long story short: you are unlikely to be able to afford house and car unless you are in a double income household.

Oh, and i didn't mean to imply i was on stamps, just that i know
how it is to struggle. In my case due to some poor decisions.
Took me a couple of years to dig my way out of that hole. But
not having any disability or anything ( other than being
stupid.. ), i was on my own. And honestly even if could
qualify somehow, the thought never occurred to try to apply for
any government assistance beyond unemployment for a couple of
months, which is more of an insurance policy i paid into. Just
isn't how i was raised.
Not a fun couple of years.
Meanwhile, a friend of mine who is in the top 15% income bracket is applying to state sponsored welfare housing.
Laqueefa should be butchered and sold as biofuel.
I had a friend who loved to spout melodramatic statements like those. "Jack should be taken to a back alley and shot". "Amy should be tied to a rock and thrown into the lake." My father would always tell me to stay away from that kid.
It is refreshing to see that kid became a data center architect and hosts an awesome BBS.
Around here, even rental prices are insane.
For houses, it was 2x what my mortgage was. Apartments can easily hit 1k for a single bedroom.

He took a loan from the US, leveraged it to get rid of a lot of debt and managed to return the US loan in record time still. Fucking hero.
Well i guess the events in NYC has caused prices in Florida to skyrocket as people with money flee the area and head south.
No society can be brought up from nothing under socialism. Socialism has to replace some other system that produced wealth. After that wealth has been consumed, the society collapses financially (it already collapsed in other ways).
People are stupid, and stupid people fall for "tax the rich". Around here there are so many ads condeming our local republican congressman for voting for the BBB, claiming that it funds "tax breaks for the rich". When they say those words, it always means everyone, including the rich, got a tax break.
But the way they phrase it, they imply "tax breaks for ONLY the rich."
Mr. Winnie Xi Pooh, please nuke our biggest cities. They are tumors on our nation and require radiation therapy.
Still no money for SNAP. The fuse is about to be lit..
And just read that the USDA has mandated that you cant give out discounts to card holders, without a current exemption ( like farmer's markets )
She's either terminally ill, or aware of some scam being exposed that will end her.
Some say the demokrat party is swinging too far left of the Overton to remain viable. With ultra-wackos like AOC and MamHitlerDami becoming the face of the party, things are going to get very weird, very bad, very fast.
I suspect she was told to by the controllers.

I don't think anything can get so extreme it turns non viable (short term). Lots of Democrat suporters these days already think it is fine and desirable to kill anybody who disagrees with them.
The problem with that is it makes one reconsider his political choices. You might as well endorse the most nasty fascist bullshit party that panders to your demographic and don't give a damn if they start actually killing people from the other side, since they want you to be a goner.
Could fall under econo too, but here it is.
I hear that now that the communist has been elected in NYC, everyone with money is heading out of town. FLA and TX are the biggest destinations. Not that i blame them a bit, war has been declared on them.
The bad part of all this is they will take their tax money ( both direct an indirect ) and NYC will collapse. And guess who gets to foot the bill? Us tax payers across the country as they beg for 'federal money'. Just like California has become a federal subsidy sink.
And of course they will declare a victory, since its other people's money keeping the boat afloat.
Its still hard to believe that man won. I question if it was honest or not. There cant be THAT many stupid people there, can there?

Things are going to get bad. The city will collapse financially, it will become even more unsafe than it was in the 1970s, and Zoltar Mamdummy will blame racism (or possibly "the jews") for all of it. And then maybe there will be a new Rudy Giuliani to bring it back out of the ashes. New Yorkers are surprisingly tough and resilient.
To answer the question about whether it was an honest election: no, it wasn't.
Democrats can be counted on to lie, cheat, and steal, 100.00% of the time.

There is an exodus. It'll make deep-blue NYC even deeper blue, as
anyone who was left with even a lick of political sensibility has now
had enough and will either move upstate or out of state. With any luck
we'll replace KKKathy Hoe Chul with a republican governor to resist
having the whole state turned into a jizya bank for the city.
I can get you a comfy box in my barn if you ever need to escape. You will get good company, as an extra. The downside is you would have to move to an anti-american place in which they speak heathen languages nobody understands, and Internet connectivity is as bad as it gets. But hey, at least the food is good.
Well, that is disappointing. The Python foundation fully supports DEI. It will be the death of them eventually. People's merit should be based on their contribution to the project, nothing else. Treat everyone the same. No one gets special treatment ( or bad treatment ) due to personal life decisions they have made. Contribute good code, get kudos, don't, get out.. EOD.

For all the talk about the surge of donations, when you look at it closely, they are getting scraps when compared to the fund they actively rejected. It is funny they sell it as a win when they actually turned down so much money and then realized they have no plan to get it other way.
It seems to me the European Union will eventually foot the bill.
Look at the bright side. They outed themselves. In this day an age, DEI is fading fast. You can be sure it will eventually catch them.

And if python falls, it will be a sad day, for a lot of people
