Someone who's not only never bought groceries for a family and has no idea what food costs, but also doesn't understand that many foods can't be stocked for a month. I'm guessing only the help go in the kitchen.
Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

This is a good thread.
Hi. Thought experiment. Letโ€™s say youโ€™re a would-be autocrat with a desire to interfere with elections in LA, Orange, and Riverside; recurring difficulties actually executing on promises; but a strange gift for marketing and a giant megaphone.

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.
Even if I wasn't an occasional researcher in Canadian Studies and Film Studies, I'd be concerned about this. See the thread. There's a petition researchers can sign.
Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications:
Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

I've been a fan of Vanishing Point since I first saw it over fifty years ago, but Charlotte Rampling's great scene was cut from USA release (until DVD), so I don't know it as well as the rest of the film. youtu.be/V1ULp1WPOOk?...

Nobody knows how to stretch dollars for nutritious food like poor folks.
With SNAP on the verge of running out of money, a critical reminder that people who rely on food stamps make far healthier grocery choices than most of us do.
People on food stamps make healthier grocery decisions than most of us
Which is why we shouldn't tell them what to buy.

By "parents" feeling they need to leave their jobs, they mean women--and this is deliberate. And then they will wonder why women keep having fewer children.
BofA: fewer and fewer households are paying more and more in childcare costs. The trend is most prominent in lower-income homes -- parents may feel "little choice but to leave their jobs"

Speeding is the opposite of 'efficient.' In town, you burn more gas due to higher top speeds between stops, but don't save any time, due to lights and congestion. On the highway, the exponential effect of wind resistance kills efficiency at high speeds.

โ€œThe Ford Govt in Ontario has passed a controversial omnibus bill banning municipalities from installing speed cameras.

Ford says it will make the province more efficient & reduce red tape.

It wonโ€™t do either, and he knows it.

It might get him โ€œspeeder votesโ€ though.

This will kill more people.

Republicans think denying food to poor people is a smart strategy because Democrats care more about the poor than Republicans do. Consider what that says about Republicans.

Donald Trump and Peter Hegseth have now murdered 57 human beings on their boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

That means they've passed Seattle's "Green River Killer" (49) to become the most lethal serial killers in American history

Government officials scared of living among the public tells you something about the government.
And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the publicโ€”more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protestโ€”and live on military bases.
