I was talking about the hypothetical scenario where you gave it to them and were miffed it didn't go towards food, so I agree 100% with what you're saying. Don't give your money away if you can't afford to let someone else do what they want with it.
A lot of people don't mind giving someone something they need without placing conditions on it. But it's okay to be different.
It's weird to give someone money and care what they do with it unless you're expecting them to pay you back someday. You're giving it away, so it's expendable to you, and you'll probably never interact with the person again, so it's odd to care about the specifics beyond "I hope this helps."
You'll never give them enough money to actually change their situation, and that's not your fault but it's also not your problem, it's theirs. If they think they need a cigarette more than a sandwich, who am I to tell them they are wrong? It's their money now, not mine.
I, for one, am ready to watch my fellow countrymen fall all over themselves to find a way to elect him a 3rd time while hating everything about their lives directly because of his policies. Can't wait!
You good bro?
"mooooom can we have fascism in Europe? Just a little bit?"
"we have fascism at home."
I feel like he always looks like that. He always looks like he's guilty and looking for an exit or coming up with the next lie. I can't imagine living like that
Why does the wall in the bathroom say "it wasn't me"?
Yore onto something, it's a strategy that's never failed in America
Stephen Miller's quote is of course quite hyperbolic but in fact yes, the US constitution says even foreign alien terrorists are guaranteed legal representation in the American criminal justice system. It's amazing how many people either don't understand this or pretend not to understand it, because it's one of the tenets that made America so great to begin with, at least on paper
The majority of the voting population answers this question based on name recognition alone. You're way more up to speed on the options than the average American voter. We need to put energy into getting people like AOC in front of as many disengaged and unaware people as possible. NOT complain and whine that everything isn't handed to us on a platter.
She's in second place and we have 3 years to move her into first, that sounds worth a shot to me. But go ahead and throw your hands up in the air, tuck your tail, and say there's nothing we can do.
We are closer than we've ever been in my lifetime.
Yeah it feels a bit like daring them to make the move and take the mask off. It takes balls and I'm all for it. Show America who we voted for, on both sides.
This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol
