At least in Canada inmates actually need to buy shit, too. I mean, for the most part it's unlikely they'd die without most of it (don't quote me on this, I may be misremembering, but from what I recall things like toothpaste, snacks, tylonel, shoes, deodorant, etc), but the same could be said for a lot of what the rest of us buy with our cheques.

How long is the $1,400 suppose to last them? Is it monthly? Or?
Better yet, just let people go back to work and living life again. Anyone who doesn't feel safe can stay home or triple mask or whatever. Just let the rest of us go to the movies, eat out, work, and hike trails. Then we wouldn't see youth suicide skyrocketing, thousands of businesses shuttering, millions forced into unemployment, and a mounting debt that will only serve as a millstone around our children's necks.
Is he only now objecting to it? There was a lot of pork and bullshit in all of them.
And there's cumulative limits, too. Maybe something alone ain't so bad, until you look at the billions going to fund a San Francisco rail system that they haven't actually measured for, that also isn't the Fed's problem.

And if the answer is 'yes, he's only publicly against it now', does that change your opinion of anything at all?
My opinions are my own. I prefer politicians who voted against this bullshit, and I don't care if they voted according to their whims or as tribute to Surtur.
It's almost ironic how the richest nation in human history has trouble solving this stupid ass problem. Making everyone fight for their own life ends in.. get this... a fight. Someone not earning anything, being a bum, and collecting a gov check, it pisses you off that much you'd spite your own face? Cuz that same bum might try and rob you. Hell, the bum might be bipolar with depression, or have PTSD, or some shit neither of us know about. I don't know much, but i know this: when people aren't wanting, things go smoother.
The bum ain't my responsibility or my burden. He can starve or thrive by the merits of himself or anyone else willing to put him up.
If he fucks around, he can find out.
We didn't become what we are by being nannies and their charges. The US is a nation for the hungry, the ambitious, and the free. High rewards come with risk.
Don't like it? Leave it. Don't like it from afar? Then stay the fuck out and don't bitch when decide we're done being the world's piggy bank and blood doner.
the downvote wasn't me, I knew exactly what you'd say, and you didn't disappoint. Like it or not, everything you have is also a product of the same framework, so you do have some level of social responsibility, even though you were never asked; it's a lot like being born.
Yeah, no. That can justify paying for some local schools and roads, not hundreds of billions of dollars to blue state pension funds they sabotaged with their choice to lock down, or unnecessary rail systems in San Fran, or even a single red cent going to a prisoner.
Every bum on the street do to bad luck or their own damned choices ain't on me. I won't hurt or take from them, and for their own good they will return the favor.
Actually, yeah. That is my social responsibility:
To not hurt anyone else through my own actions, and to not tolerate anyone else hurting me. My money is my sweat, my blood, my labor. It is the essence of my very life. You are not entitled to any of it unless we both agree otherwise in a contract. Nobody is entitled to any of it without the same. Sure as fuck not a murdering rapist, or some homicidal bum.
I'm not the bum in the situation I explained, and why, in a perfect world, I would prefer your mindset... but the world isn't actually like that; situations you never asked for will happen, which is why the framework for a safety net is supposed to be there. You might wake up tomorrow and life has decided to screw you over actions you had no control over; all that work pissed away and you have to restart. And just by being born as a US citizen you agreed to that contract before you even had a say.
Yeah, no. I've been in hard times. I dealt with it myself.
I've been fucked over, I dealt with it myself.
The US is not a nation for people who want to be told what to do, or taken care of. And I will always applaud and support any politician who remembers and defends that we are nation of liberty and risk.
The right to do wrong and the freedom to fail, included. I am not a slave, and my children will not be, either.
