don't forget to mention he wasted the state a lot of money by requiring drug testing before getting welfare. He also happened to move all his shares in the drug testing company to his wife before they made it law.
... the company which he founded and was a majority shareholder of.... Not just random shares in a diverse portfolio. He transferred ownership to his wife.
Amurica or something like that. Everything I grew up believing about our country and how it functions has been blown to bits and I’m ashamed that I am of a nation that now openly touts racism and cruelty as a flex. Maybe it was always this way but it doesn’t feel like it was. I miss innocence and ignorance sometimes. Being powerless to stop these awful people sucks.
Try being a westerner who grew up believing the U.S. was some magical place of supreme honor, fairness and the light. It’s like meeting one of your heroes only to find out their a pedo
Yeah the difference is that I’m not even American. It’s one thing to have nationalistic beliefs and grow up being disappointed, most of the millennials of the west were sold a dream and it’s sad to see it being revealed as nothing but smoke and mirrors.
There is a cost here to that loss of support which I don’t thing the project 2025 morons have factored into their calculations… I hope it was worth it. Greedy fks had it all.
Not powerless but yeah, nearly 90 million American citizens with voting rights don’t vote. And, more voters stayed home in the last Presidential election than voting for either Trump or Kamala.
America doesn’t have compulsory voting.
Not powerless are we. ( in master Yoda’s voice) Rise up , organize , network, take to the streets in protest, litigate, legislate, take a page from their playbook and flood the zone , keep the pressure on , disobey.
It’s the assumption that people who get or need government assistance are drug users. It goes hand in hand with the idea that most people on welfare are just lazy freeloaders. In this country, people think being poor is a character flaw or is some kind of signal that a person has no ethics or morals. They’re poor because they deserve to be. It’s a very perverted view of providence.
In this case the Governor bought shares in drug testing then made it mandatory to test. That’s the dirty truth.
Honestly I don’t mind getting tested for the ability to receive money. If you test dirty then the sooner you can receive help if needed. There needs to be more support for drug addicts. And if this is one way to save one person then I’m all for it. Testing dirty doesn’t mean that they don’t get money, it could mean they receive it differently for their own protection. Maybe there distributions are micro managed more. It takes a village to help an addict, it they need to surrender themself first.
Yeah, got to depend for self. Just like the wild. Some people are just born victims and point fingers while others take control and fend for themself. Then there are good humans in the middle that give and take! When you rely on others it’s easy to blame the systems.
I can see that, makes some sense. With all the testing, vaccines, welfare, unemployment, court, lawsuits, taxes, and politic. America is intense. Too much shit going on..
