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.

And where's the hate on the men who have 6 different kids with different moms?

...

Why am I asking this? This whole thing is unfunny. Quick, let's talk about something funny!

I saw BIG SCARY BATS TODAY! In a tree! Hanging there, like fruit! And they weren't fruit bats!

(Okay, that's not funny either.)

I once saw the bottom half of a prosthetic leg hanging from a tree branch. Which probably isn't funny but is quite odd.

Also, WELFARE!

I once saw a guy who painted his prosthetic leg up with a big portrait of Bob Marley. That was kind of awesome.

I knew a lady who gave a burglar a concussion with her prosthetic leg! The screamer part? Her name was "Peg".

I had a bat in my apartment for a few days.

We had a bat in our cabin at camp when I was 12! Which is not really as weird, but he stayed for a couple of days and we named him, and I wrote him a poem.
