It’s actively more efficient to just give free food to everyone, qualifying it just adds administrative overhead and gives space for already at-risk people to fall through the cracks because holy shit guess what, they don’t tend to have the time or energy to spend on filling in 500 pages of paperwork to apply for welfare!
Yes, fucking give billionaires potatoes, i think society can survive that terrible terrible expense.
Hang on. Are you saying government bureaucracies are inefficient and wasteful. You need to be careful expressing opinions like that round here you’ll get down voted.
That’s arguably the single most fundamental job of the government, yes.
The fucking romans had this figured out god damn.
I am curious, what did the romans do?
Give free food to poor people, it was literally an easy way to win votes to simply promise more food to the poor.
The aqueduct?
Brought peace?
Bread and Circuses
I disagree. You will always run out of other people’s money
did someone forget to change to a puppet account? nice one
What, what are you talking about. This is my only account
I disagree 100%. It’s the governments job to provide a safe environment to be individually free to be successful.
And “bread and circuses” what’s a reference to a distracted demos

Do you like giving your taxes to feed the rich?

You can’t have a safe environment if people are starving.
I don’t get your point
starving people tend to do whatever it takes to not starve to death, because you know they don’t want to die
Ooookaaaayyyyy
