Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.
I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

I keep thinking of that video where a young woman explained the point is that they are exempt from the rules most of us have to follow
also i fundamentally do not understand having access to that kind of money and being *cheap*

When the Republican convention was held in Milwaukee, some restaurant owners required payment up front because of the party's reputation.
Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.
"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.

I rarely watch or listen to Sunday talk shows, only get snippets here and there, and does anyone else find it weird that Vance often seems to say "President of the United States"? What other president would he be referring to?

The torpedo-shaped glider — named “Redwing” — will measure water depth, temperature and salinity, and send data back to Massachusetts scientists in near-real time. It will also carry a device to detect tagged fish in the open ocean, which could shed light on migration patterns of marine animals.
