Youngkin ‘sweetened beverage’ ban doesn’t go far enough

I’ll break ranks here and tell you that I’m for Glenn Youngkin’s new “sweetened beverage” ban for SNAP recipients, which I think doesn’t go far enough.

The #USArmy telling its soldiers to make use of #Germany's #wellfare services to get something to eat is beyond #embarrassing. It's #evil.

Your shutdown, your empty stomach.

Dear US Army: deal with it or better yet get rid of your idiot in chief, in defense of the constitution. After all Cadet Bonespurs is letting you down as you read this. Like some dogs, you know?

What has become of the #UnitedStates? Friggin' bunch of #freeloaders!

Did you know that in #Finland every #family gets a #maternity package when a #baby is born. The package can be used as baby's first bed. It's possible to take money instead. Also #parents who adopt, get the #benefit. The benefit became available for every family in 1949. Before that it was only available for poor families starting from 1937. #ThisIsFinland #suomimastodon #wellfare https://www.kela.fi/maternitypackage

The maternity package contains baby clothes as well as care products and materials.

The reason artists don't deserve to extract money from people for copying their work is the same reason artists don't get to hold little old ladies at gunpoint and steal their purses. You have to make a living somehow, right? Wrong. Nobody should have to make a living. Artists are being wronged because people are being wronged. We're capable of taking care of everyone, but we falsely believe that the only thing that matters is whether someone can afford our help. Hurting them for no reason, just to force money to be worth more than it is. So if an artist can't make a living without engaging in unsavory activities such as reporting someone for sharing your work without permission, they should still be able to live, because it's our duty to make sure everyone can live, and we're failing at that badly, to prop up the filthy rich.

Never try to copy our Swedish flawed NPM school system. I beats any system anywhere in a bad way.
Marcus, @Skolinkvisition , is way better than I am explaining why.

Den bortglömda marknadsförskolan – en nationell säkerhetsrisk! – Tankesmedjan Balans

In the end, no, your #closetserver or #VPS is not enough. Your #managedhosting solution is not enough. The world 🌍 runs on #cloud infra and that's not what's bad.

What's bad is how it's been implemented, how it's a threat to #privacy, how it's a threat to #DigitalSovreignty, as well as #wellfare AND #freemarket - at the same time!

So what do you do? Throw the baby out with the bathwater, or do you question the actual hardware infra, as well as the legal industrial precedents set?

In all likelihood #Norway will become even more #westernized as the #nuclearfamily kills the #traditionalfamily, challenging and even deposing political mainstays as #wellfare and #solidarity.

We might even see the #denationalization of #naturalresources, which has given #Norwegian people economic stability and decentralization.

Then we could finally compete with #Sweden who has been the king of #liberalization in the north. They are also the crime and poverty leaders of the north.

I had a big surprise today. The UWV (the government organization responsible for my welfare/sickness check) had invited me for a check up/in.
They sprung on me that the insurance physician would like to see me as well (I'm getting benefits due to Long Covid).
Which is scary because he/she can decide to declare I'm fit for work again and of to the dole and temporary shit jobs I go.
But after talking for 45 min's with one their assistants, she proposed a break. (I was getting very tired) Made a call with the doctor and told me afterwards, the doctor wouldn't see me, it was obvious I wasn't fit for work. And for the coming year I would stay on sick leave unless something changed.
Which is a relief. There are many stories about Long Covid patients getting shafted by the UWV and their insurance physicians. The way I was treated should be normal but I feel lucky.
Afterwards I almost killed myself driving through rush hour traffic exhausted. So, I'm done for today.

Liberaler … hur räknar de?

Ska ekonomer, fast i urtjänt paradigm, alls ha poster i fungerande regering? Finns ens pengar? Kan statistiska genomsnitt styra när resurserna till välfärd sipprar bort, ofta utomlands
Tänk om! Byt paradigm! Det är bråttom! Vi har snart ett världskrig & komplett klimatkollaps om inte

Reports on this in Swedish mainstream news media, especially state TV, has been quite distorted, biased, click bait and so much in fear of losing any state funding from present government … you’d have to dig into the statistics yourself

Ni trodde unga var höger – ni blev ägda

De senaste åren har det pratats om att det blåser kraftiga högervindar bland unga. Inför riksdagsvalet 2022 rapporterades det om en konservativ våg bland kidsen
