The 8 billionaires are: Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Page, Brin, Zuckerberg, Huang, Ballmer.
Each one saw their wealth explode as a direct result of the massive and unsustainable AI bubble.

"What a year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 500 richest people added a record $2.2 trillion to their collective fortunes in 2025’s… booming markets, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. And about a quarter of this year’s gains went to just eight billionaires.” — Bloomberg Morning Brief

People on SNAP are vetted before they receive benefits. To have people who are already strained financially to take the time to reapply because the GOP lives in a fever dream where poor people are cheating for $6 a day shows how cruel and out of touch with the reality of being poor they are.

They are already downsizing (not rightsizing) SNAP via back door administrative means. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-big-be...
Rollins on why Americans will have to reapply for SNAP: "Clearly there's a right-sizing that needs to happen. The unintended consequence of the Democrat shutdown is now the spotlight has been shined on and we have to make sure we're able to make sure it's going to the right people."

Corporate profits have hit record highs.
CEOs are paid 280x as much as a typical worker.
We're subsidizing corporations that pay lousy wages by funding food stamps with our taxpayer dollars.
Yet too many focus their ire on the working poor who need help instead of targeting corporate greed.

SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."

This is a no-brainer. Trump, for once, is right.
