This.

"Regardless of what you think about any individual person, food assistance should not be predicated on meeting your personal definition of deserving. People shouldn’t have to perform feats of social worth to get food; in our incredibly wealthy society, people should just get food."

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger

The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

Smith in 2014: The plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate is a politically motivated distraction.

Smith in 2025: Here's a plan to change the motto on Alberta's licence plate.

Smith Not Impressed With New Plates "Political Agenda"

Written by Brent Manke Monday, Jul 14 2014, 12:00 AM

The three choices for Alberta's new license plate, plus what we have now. The Opposition Wildrose party is up in arms over the removal of the "Wild Rose Country" slogan from the bottom of the plates, calling it politically motivated.

Highwood MLA Danielle Smith is no fan of Alberta's proposed new license plates.

She supports the new reflective paint job, but not changing the slogan at the bottom from "Wild Rose Country."

She says it's more PC political nonsense.

"All of a sudden this comes out in the middle of the summer, in the middle of a leadership race, taking off the Wild Rose slogan. It's clearly political. People have seen through it. They are outraged and responding in massive numbers. We have a poll going with six thousand respondents so far, most of which, about 70-percent who say keep the Wild Rose slogan."

She says the province would have been better off asking us if we wanted to change the plates in the first place, as well as if we wanted to change the slogan, before moving ahead on their own.
