@dicentra33 The planned, intentional outcome for those who fail to implement "success" is that they starve and die. @Karnythia

@chaosprime I cannot emphasize enough how wrong you are about the intentional outcome being starvation. That's a filthy, left-wing lie. -
@dicentra33 When it's all your planning encompasses, I don't really care if you *intended* for all the children to turn out above average. -
@chaosprime What, precisely, are my plans? -
@dicentra33 From available evidence, to feed people a steady diet of homilies about the value of hard work and personal responsibility. Yum. -
@chaosprime What happens when people follow that advice? -
@dicentra33 Some of them secure an adequate or better supply of economic goods. Some of them don't. -
@dicentra33 No doubt, people who follow it will do better than otherwise. But I'm sick of policy that boils down to "just be exceptional!" -
@chaosprime It's also not policy, it's advice. Policies are for governments; advice is for individuals and communities. - 9 more replies

@dicentra33 We have an economy with *far* fewer jobs than job seekers. When unemployment gets too *low* businesses panic.@Karnythia -
@dicentra33 Economic policy is intentionally shaped to make sure there are always people without jobs.@Karnythia -
@chaosprime Does unrestricted illegal immigration play a role in that? Which econ policies make sure there are too few jobs?

@chaosprime Again, blood libel. In U.S., it's behavior or bad luck. Nobody minds helping the helpless. You gotta stop kneecapping folks. -
@dicentra33 People who needed EBT to eat tonight must be thrilled you're at the barricades to keep them from being kneecapped by being fed. -
@chaosprime There are multiple ways to be fed without EBT and a low-paying job that don't destroy the soul.
