vegetaTrump administration says states must "immediately undo any steps" to send full SNAP benefits
A better source.

USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.
There really is no bottom to this administrations evil.
peoplebeproblemsIt confirms my theory that they are desperately trying to implement the mass killing of people.
The political violence they wanted isn’t happening. The dropping vaccine rates isn’t fast enough. And now people aren’t starving as they should be.
That indicates to me that they are finding out just how hard it is to kill 268,000,000 people. It might have something to do with the fact that 268,000,000 are more than enough to keep themselves alive.
I have theory that the Republican party (note, not voters) is made of three very different factions:
- Christians hoping to bring about Armageddon and the end of times so they can get to heaven. How they hope to get to heaven by supporting Trump is beyond me. In the mean time, they’ll settle for Christian theocratic dictatorship.
- Atheist tech-bros that can see the environment is going to shit. Their plan is to remove as many people as possible to reduce the impact of humans on the environment, replacing them with AI and robots as needed.
- Old, oil connected and/or corrupt politicians that just don’t give a fuck so long as they get a fat pay cheque. They are too rich and old to ever feel the consequences of this administration.
While they wildly different motivations, they seem to agree on letting people die serves their goals.
ScubusOk but that middle one sounds way different from the other two. Js, the 1% are responsible for 99% of our pollution.
Yeah, but if enough of us die…? To be clear, these tech-bros are truly evil, they will do whatever it takes to secure their wealth and lifestyle.
Yeah, thats kinda what im getting at. Currently, behind fossil fuels, the most polluting/environmentally unfriendly industry im aware of is ai development.
Full controversial disclosure: ive been studying actual AI since the early 00s. I know what the tech is capable of and im very well versed in it. Llms are a nichely useful tool, but thats it. That is not even close to the max potential for AI. Most of the things the tech bros promise are theoretically possible, but theyre so wildly misleading about it as to basically say that they are just lying. The current AI bubble WILL pop before we see too much cooler stuff, but I am confident that the tech will still be looked into, just at a regular scale instead of being massively blown out of proportion. Eventually it will be like it used to be, with small incremental inprovements in multiple different fields and the occasional breakthrough where someone combines the fields. And this should all be happening without consumers being aware of it, basically. Not that is shiuld be hidden, but they shouldnt be writing news articles about it because real progress is slow.
If you want to actually keep up with the real progress in actual AI instead of tech bro crap or llm crap, follow Two Minute Papers on youtube. Hes far from the only source ive looked into over the years, but he has some distinct advantages over most other ai sources. He does all the paper scouring for you so you can stay up to date on the latest ai progression(again, NOT LLMS, THIS TECH HAS 0 TO DO WITH LLMS. THEY DO NOT SHARE THE SAME ARCHITECTURE, THEY DO NOT RUN ON THE SAME HARDWARE. IT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.) and he breaks it down succinctly, simply, and without overselling it or any of the other propaganda. He reviews papers that are currently released and checks out the AI behind it. He also handles algorithms which are super cool!
It’s actually, in order of demographic size, biggest to least:
- Politicians that just don’t give a fuck so long as they keep a fat pay cheque.
- Tech-bros that want to replace people with AI so as to get keep fat pay cheque…
- Christians/religious whose hate, xenophobia, and intolerance is more important than anything else
