You’re advocating giving free stuff to poor people, and a policy of “Don’t make the poor people angry” because of what you believe poor people will do if they aren’t given free stuff? Really?
Do you think people will simply step aside and quietly die for your convenience?

Apparently I have to repeat myself:

And they will blame anyone and everyone for it, whether or not those people had a thing to do with it. Don't be obtuse.
Your “repeating yourself” in no way addresses that.
What in my post led you to that silly, unsupported conclusion?
Then what exactly do you think people will do if they're hungry and unable to earn enough money to eat (If they don't have access to charity services and if begging doesn't work)?
Nope. SS deposit are made on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Wednesday of the month, based on the day of birth in the month. 1>10 get checks on the 2nd Wednesday, etc. Folks who started getting SS in 1997 or earlier get their checks on the 3rd day of the month. Rules are also different for folks on disability.
Thanks for clarifying. I was basing my assumption on the experience of my parents, both of whom started receiving benefits prior to 1997.
How many times have we heard liberals laughing at the plight of hard working farmers who can't sell their soybeans? No sympathy given to dairy farmers who enjoy the privilege of selling their product at a loss. It's funny because these folks are conservatives, and likely Trump supporters, according to libs. How many liberal talking heads have we heard from wishing the stock market would crash on Trump's watch, just so it makes him look bad?
Some people don't try, and complain when they accomplish nothing. Not much you can do to help those types. But laughing at the plight of people who work their tail off, and still fall behind... That's as low as it gets.
Keep falling for the divide and conquer play America. I'm sure you'll get a prize eventually for all your effort... Just not a prize you're going to like or want.
Yes how many times have you heard that? Please post a link to any post where liberals are laughing at farmers losing money.
As for the reverse, you can see an example of a conservative showing a distinct lack of empathy for those who may not have enough to eat on the very first page of this thread.
So what? Every single day, every human being, animals, birds and fish feel hunger several times in a 24 hour period. It's just the way we are all wired to encourage us to eat and fuel our bodies. Feeling hunger is completely natural. And for those trying to lose weight (and yes, many of our children in America are obese and need to lose weight), dietitians suggest that when feeling hunger, one should drink a glass of water (not sugary soda, not fruit juice) slowly first.
And children who are from poor families still get free lunches and even free breakfasts at their public schools.
And maybe poor families will take this event to think about the importance of not having children or many children until they are financially able to take care of them on their own. Getting and using food stamps are meant to be a once in a while safety net, not a permanent way of life.
Wow. A lot of justification to cover up being a disgusting human being. “They eat at school!” Ya, I am sure you could survive on five meals a week. Why don’t you try?
Spoken by the totally clueless. So tell me again at what age can children who need food stamps become self-reliant? Six, seven?
No. Wrong question. The real question is where are their TWO parents and why aren't they able to feed the children they've made???
Another choice those parents had when the children were born was to give them up for adoption while still infants... to vetted couples seeking a baby to adopt and raise.
Parenthood should never be entered into lightly and all willy-nilly. Serious thought and planning should be involved, not feelings of temporary infatuation for ones sexual partner.
