The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry.

Wow, sounds like Jeff Bezos is mad

(from A Washington Post editorial entitled "Zohran Mamdani’s victory is bad for New York and the Democratic Party")
Now, a man who believes that capitalism is “theft” is in line to lead the country’s biggest city and the world’s financial capital.

No doubt these might strike some voters as tempting ideas. But, as with so many proposals from America’s far left, the trade-offs would hurt the people they are supposed to help.

I'd argue that JD is willing to criticize Usha's lack of Christianity for the same reason he's willing to vilify his family and community in Hillbilly Elegy: He's convinced himself that he was able to escape his humble origins--while others weren't--because he worked harder and had more faith.

Ya know who grew up receiving nutritional assistance provided by the federal government – JD Vance. Now, he’s ripping SNAP away from tens of millions of hungry kids. Growing up in poverty isn't a crime, JD – just ask your Jesus.
