Imagine the consequences if someone really spent $600 of their monthly $710 SSI check on an iPad instead of rent, food, utilities, and the other things that usually cost more than their income.

But -- but if you eat enough at one meal, surely you won't be hungry again for another month! That's just simple maths!

snark aside, I think a lot of people just don't know any better. I mean, how are you supposed to cook it if you can't boil or fry it? Ignorance also explains why there are so many younger people with horrible dentation and related health problems. No fluoride in rural water and generations of the family sharing 3 teeth between them.

I was envisioning something a bit larger and more specific. Alton Brown holograms that give cooking lessons included in boxes of something.. Sorry I don't know, I'm much less optimistic and realistic than I was yesterday. Anyway, MB is too divisive, don't ya know. Look at the whole thing with drinking more water.

<i>"Why should a welfare recipients’ standard of living be the same as or better than that of a person working for minimum wage? IT SHOULDN’T, but it is right now."</i>

Yeah, well, there are two ways tof fix that . . . I wonder which one Mr. Human favors.

The problem is often due to an unbalanced diet: more meth than fluoride.

I suspect that the ultimate constraint on JustInhuman's job prospects is his intellect.

It would be a nicer world if there weren't food deserts and dairy and produce weren't expensive compared to processed food. It also would'nt hurt if there was a big PSA program to show people how to make healthier food choices on their limited budgets..

"I can’t afford any new tats"

New tats...wait, you have tats? You selfish motherfucker. I'm fifty fucking two years old and I don't have any tats. How can you sit there and complain while the taxes I've been paying for 3 fucking decades has helped you afford tats?

Indentured servants in New England colonies had "no lobster" clauses in their contracts, that's how vile they thought the spider critters were. Oh how times have changed.

Justin Human sounds like a good name for a teahadist.

I blame Jesus for this craze of lobster-eating poors. When He fed them loaves and fishes, they got a insatiable lust for seafood. Thanks a lot Jesus for ruining everything for everyone!

Once, during the 80s, I was unemployed and starving and was provided food stamps. The first month, I bought jumbo shrimp and brie, but you know what? I went hungry the rest of the month because I spent everything in the first week. People who buy lobster with food stamps don't just get more food stamps as soon as they run out...

People in their 20s on Social Security? Using food stamps buying lobster? JustinHuman is full of fucking shit. These mouth breathers listen to hate radio and Faux News and believe every bit of bullshit they spew out. The fact that probably one third of the adults in this country believe these fantasies proves that America truly is in decline.
