For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

So far the driving hooman is doing a good job. It's kinda bumpy and loud, but I blame the road. We've come to a stop, someone said there was a lane blockage, whatever that means.
