People claiming that SNAP is inefficient and "riddled with abuse" say that there are 186,000 dead people on the benefits list.

Reminder - Social Security is *your* money. You pay into it so you can collect it later. If the government shuts it down on a whim, without paying you back, that is theft.
BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency.
Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

Okay so Bass' reasoning that they weren't given ample warning from LAFD about the severe weather conditions sounds so ridiculous. Like even I, an OC resident, read about the weather warnings well before 1/7.
This sounds like Crowley's being thrown under the bus.
