Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report
Sure, but did you think about the fact that food stamp recepiants could legally buy frozen lobster tail if they hoose to use all of their food stamps on it?, there’s at least one documented case of someone actually doing it too so, it’s a serious problem and justified cutting off half the country from food stamps to keep the epstien files from releasing.
I never understood how Faux was allowed to run wall-to-wall coverage on the horrors of allowing people to buy steak-n-lobster on food stamps (! gasp! clutch pearls!) and most people didn’t shut them the fuck off. I also didn’t understand the propensity of so many people to police the fuck out of what is in someone’s grocery cart if they are on assistance, while they seem to have very little interest in putting any checks at all on the parasitic class/the idle rich.
Then I learned about last place aversion and it makes a lot more sense. Whole lot of people would rather see the Epstein class get even richer than to have someone they think is beneath them jump one rung higher.
Heh, I hate to break this to ya’ll, but I used to be on food stamps and ate crab legs all the time. I could’ve gotten frozen lobster tail; there’s nothing stopping that. It’s just that crab legs are a better deal and easier.
Would say overall the point is… they aren’t more expensive than regular food, depending on your situation etc… Key thing is crab legs and lobster tails, aren’t generally a huge price point beyond other things… and the joke, is of course that someone using their 200 a month and getting something moderately paletable, while a small group of cabinet members are literally spending more than… well more than a states worth of food stamp recipients get total.
I mean, I agree with you. Why should we have less while others have more? Especially when they’re not contributing to civilization, but rather leeching off of it.
At the same time, the $300* a month that I received was way more than enough for my personal needs. It was great. I got to eat whatever I wanted and then some. I was no longer bound to just the bare minimum that I was willing to accept.

Right, and lobster used to be considered peasant food back in colonial times. Funny how times change.

They really do give more than enough.
It depends the size of your family and the area you live in.
