Bad Service wanks about welfare and made-up statistics
[info]ever_abstract makes a post to [info]bad_service about a trip to the grocery store involving an incredibly obnoxious cashier-manager duo who give her a hard time about WIC.

This prompts [info]starliteunicorn to tell the community that she thinks welfare is absolutely ridiculous. She goes on to inform us all:

I'm all for getting rid of it entirely. People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. And it bothers me. A lot. I don't get paid to just exsist-I have to work. I know some people CAN'T get jobs... but it seems extrodinarily unfair. Too many people leech off the welfare system without even ATTEMPTING to find work or get themselves to a better position. The stereotype of the drug addict mother to 6 different kids all with different daddies is true for about 65% of people coming through the various types of welfare (taken from a friend who does, indeed, work in a WIC office).

And it just snowballs from there.

1.01 lbs of LOL American cheese

(all of these are WIC approved, even though they're brand-name)


Tell me LOL American cheese is not a brand name. If it is, that's freaking awesome.

I ignore the current wank because it sort of makes me want to cry and hit things, so...

I don't have a link but the most famous example recently is one where she said she has the right to break hotel property so that she can hook up her DVD player to watch The Last Unicorn.

What? Really? Where?

Speaking as someone whose mother was a single parent trying to get through college, work, and raise two small children at the same time, with a screwed up family that refused to support her in her decision to finish her education...

ASKFHSKJSGJKDLDJKLS!! BITCH NO. DON'T GET ALL "Teehee lol, why can't they get jobs, like mine?!" Because that's all what it comes down to to you, isn't it? Obviously, they must need financial help because they're just sooo lazy, and the government's totally spoiling them! Liek, ttly unfair, what's up with that?! ARGH, DO NOT PRETEND YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING.

No. Just no.

my head gets all desky when people start talking out their asses about Welfare. having worked in that field, I know bullshit when I see it, which is about 75% of the time when the subject comes up.

It's the kind of subject that people only change their minds on when they get a faceful of experience - either working with Welfare or having to GO ON IT themselves.
