Wow, Ms K brought out the usual crazies. I was dirt poor for a good part of my life. Any benefit, government or otherwise, would have been most welcome. It baffles me that so many commenters are so callous--without offering any alternate solutions.

I recently learned about the "Bunker". I have been curious about it and thought I might like to participate some day. Now, I think not--I suspect its purpose might be to keep toxic discussion contained rather than allowing free wheeling and productive political discourse to flourish.

[censored]. You shouldn't pay the most and get nothing while people who pay nothing get the most.

If they're gonna literally give away free money, they should give it to everyone.

I've never understood the "you can't raise a family on minimum wage" argument.

Minimum wage was never intended and shouldn't be something that you raise a family on. It's unskilled labor/work for kids and people just starting out. If you are a kid and/or are just starting out, DON'T BREED. If you have 5-10 years of experience in any industry, you shouldn't be making minimum wage and if you are then you need to look inside and not to the government to save you. Of course, there are extraneous circumstances, but on the whole I this is a total BS "argument".

Baby bunnies are the fun size snickers of the animal kingdom.

And West Texas specific, quail.

Can someone...anyone...please show me where it says that life is fair and you have the right to be comfortable every single day of your life until you die??

No one can prevent 100% of bad things from happening to you. No elected leader, pastor, preacher, spouse, employer, no one. The best thing that you can do is prepare yourself to the best of your ability. Educate yourself so you can provide for yourself, have a marketable skill, and not have to rely on anyone. Save for a rainy day. Live below your means. These are not new concepts. But even then, bad things happen to good people. Some folks get a [censored] roll of the dice. That's life.

The best way I can describe it is baby bunnies...they are the cutest, fluffiest, most harmless critters that exist. Never harming a fly. They're the picture of peace and goodness, doing nothing but hiding out and eating grass. And their sole purpose on this earth is die a horrible, painful death as food for pretty much everything with big teeth. A VERY tiny percentage of baby bunnies get to go on to make more bunnies. THAT is life. So if you are anything other than food for a coyote, you should be pretty dang happy about it and appreciate every single moment you get to be comfortable, while expecting that the nature of life is kick you arse most of the time.

Oh yeah, and stop expecting those who make better choices than you to pick up your slack.

And West Texas specific, quail.

And both are fantastic over a hint of mesquite smoke with a good Sucklebusters rub.

A friend that had ranch along with his son between Brownwood and Brady told me one day that everybody loves quail. This was after sitting at a stand on his son's place and watching a bobcat waiting on either quail or turkeys to show up at the feeder.

Nah. Quail aren't fun size snickers. They're chicken nuggets on legs.
