Culture – Unemployed Outside a Wal-Mart that’s Hiring (And sells food) With Sign that says “Will Work for Food”
I work near a Super-Wal-Mart, so I do a bit of shopping there when needed. If you don’t have one near you, it’s a Wal-Mart with a full-size grocery store inside. Another thing you might not have is unemployed panhandlers holding cardboard signs looking for work or money.
Yeah, But They’re Not Voting Here In NH
At this far out, I’m not happy when I see this as people can take it as “great, I can sit back and do nothing”. NOTHING can be further than the truth. The athletic advise of “play like you’re losing all the time” is a good one. Poll: Overwhelming Majority of Capitol Hill Aides Believe … Read more
The Sublime Versus the Ridiculous In DC

Palate Cleanser: Married 38 years – you think *I* know?
Yes, I chuckled because sometimes it CAN seem that way. Best is the “FINE!” retort – man, are you in deep sneakers! And the “I don’t care” said several times is a ‘tell’ that TMEW DOES care but I’m not going to find out how, over what, and when. I’ve been told I’ve above average … Read more
Quick Shot: Trump Economy Has Been Better for Blue Collar Wages Than White
I don’t think we have to worry about the left or the media announcing how Mr. Trump is good for the everyday working man. And not just because they’d never dare call them “working man.” But, as it turns out, Trump’s policies are better for everyday joe and jane sixpack.
Quick Thought: Feds Approve NH Medicaid Expansion ‘Work Requirement’
Steve beat me to the punch on the announcement that the able-bodied recipients will have to work or be bettering themselves in order to continue to get free healthcare. The Hill added this:
The waiver program will also require co-pays for Medicaid recipients who make more than 100 percent of the poverty level.
“Work requirements help lift able-bodied individuals out of poverty by empowering them with the dignity of work and self-reliability while also allowing states to control the costs of their Medicaid programs. They help people gain the skills necessary for long-term independence and success,” New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said in a statement.
People don’t always value “free” when other people are paying for that “free” thing on an institutional things. I’ve seen it up close when running our daycare. When one has to put their own skinny into the picture,
