Social Commentary? What's NEXT??

I use the video to fuel a technique I learned called "Downward Social Comparison". It's the opposite of "the grass is always greener..."

I feel a lot better about myself after viewing them.

But seriously, I've never understood why people feel the need to video themselves screaming like a buffoon and posting it on YouTube. I mean, venting on TB is one thing, but that d-bag takes venting to a whole new level. His friends probably have had it with him and refuse to let him hang out if he opens his trap once.

I learned how to pray in AA, and I sometimes still do it before I crash. I'll have to include that precocious little scamp next time, along with a little help with my tolerance of him.

Sounds like just more of the "America is drowning in a cesspool of irresponsible behavior, low morals, and VIOLENCE" Hysteria from certain quarters who don't actually believe what they are saying, but desperately want others to believe this nonstop negative spin they are putting on EVERYTHING.

If everything is BAD, then we most definitely need a change in government, even if things are not really as bad as we make them out to be.

Oh and BTW, the squeaky wheels here who got their way with a state law that drove the bulk of illegals out of our state never went in and took all the jobs the illegals had "robbed" the squeaky wheels of. The illegals are back now and the squeaky wheels are once again carping about their jobs being "stolen" by the illegals...some fools never learn.
 
They use EBT cards here and there is no cash-back, and you can't buy any prepared foods either.


Doesn't matter, they use debit card type things here too. They call it the LoneStar Card <---catchy name. They (meaning the State) even pays marketeers and buys ad time to promote these things (as if people didn't know they were out there :rolleyes: ).

Person A still gives their card with $200 on it and a PIN number to person B in exchange for $100 cash money.

Person A gets loaded. Person B gets $200 worth of ribeyes.

In other words, having it done electronically instead of on paper means nothing, and never will. People are smarter than that and will always find a way around the system to get what they want.....even the dumb ones.

You underestimate the resourcefulness of the downtrodden human who needs his fix my friend. ;)

Pronounced tan-if

They get food stamps as snap on a card.
And tanf is a specified amount of cash they can withdraw for living expenses
