My mom told me I did a good job..
Yes, I get food stamps. I went to the store tonight to get some food on my bike. On the way I met a family of five that was stranded and broke and living in their car. The dad was asking for change and I offered to buy them some food with my food stamp card. I ended up buying them about 80 stamps($) worth of food. That is about 70% of what I get per month but the thought of the kids not having food is so fucking insane. The best country in the world my ass. Food is so fucking easy and people go without. A fucking travesty. A sad fucking day when the poor have to help the poor and the rich call us lazy scum......
