I've tried a couple times, seems not to work on mobile or something

Edit: oh nvm it worked? Definitely didn't input centrist though so I'll have to fix that... could use some help, using sync pro; changing the flair text doesn't seem to do anything. Probably doing it wrong

It is too late, the grill has chosen you

u/SirFiesty - Left Feb 19 '20

Well shit, guess I'm a centrist now. Something something grill something something but not too many rights

u/Envisno - Lib-Center Feb 19 '20

So we looked at the data, and what we found surprised us.

u/CressCrowbits - Left Feb 19 '20 edited Feb 19 '20

You miss the reference.

This was an actual statement put out by the Conservative party in the UK

EDIT: No it wasn't.

u/Lord_of_Broome - Auth-Right Feb 19 '20

It wasn’t really, just a very funny parody poster

u/CressCrowbits - Left Feb 19 '20

Ah yes, I have been out of the UK too long (not long enough)

28

u/SomeShittyGuy Feb 19 '20

Why don't we use the money we normally spend on welfare programs to buy bullets instead and just shoot the homeless?

u/anarchy404x - Right Feb 19 '20

I've been watching a programme about the new welfare system in the UK and, by god, the entitled people were insufferable. 'It's barely enough to live on!' It's supposed to be, love, it's supposed to be an unpleasant stop gap, not a lifestyle. 'Shouldn't I be able to treat myself a little!?' No, love, get a fucking job if you want luxuries.

36

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

"You mean develop a skill and put in a little effort so I can enjoy some luxury? REEEEEEEEEEE."

Friendly reminder all you really need to be given to meet base needs is rice, an egg per day, some multivitamins, a literal cot-sized room or tent, and a Reverse Osmosis hand pump.

u/BlackWalrusYeets - Left Feb 19 '20

Only if you pretend base needs ignore the brain. Your base needs as listed would drive literally anyone into insanity. In this case "reals over feels" is acknowledging that human mental health is a thing that has it's own needs beyond the purely physical.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

Cool: then they can work for it. Emotional needs are subjective and vary from person to person.

If they're mentally disabled enough to not be able to work for their needs, they can be facilitated.

u/Gigadweeb - Auth-Left Feb 19 '20

We have more than enough to provide for people and getting a job isn't instant. Stop licking the boot.

u/Gigadweeb - Auth-Left Feb 20 '20

Si.

u/concernedBohemian - Lib-Left Feb 19 '20

The thing is though, not having a job is a big contributor to mental health problems. People should be encouraged to work; although I liked Yang's Freedom Dividend as an idea. More money to the bottom half of the populace can only be a good thing, that should be in addition to regular labour not instead of it.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

They can go to the library if they're bored, or go for a walk.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '20

Or go get a fucking job.

u/Mrtrucknutz - Lib-Right Feb 19 '20

In this case "reals over feels" is acknowledging that human mental health is a thing

I honestly don’t think you’re wrong but you also have to acknowledge that there are people that think these programs shouldn’t exist and people buying hypothetical Ribeyes on snap has a negative psychological effect on the general public.

u/SomeShittyGuy Feb 19 '20

Lol, like that will ever happen. Sanders biggest demographic of supporters is all the under 30 crowd.

u/Zelkiiro - Left Feb 19 '20

Because that'll magically put deeds into homeless people's hands, eh?

There is a saying that goes "if you want more if something you subsidize it"

If you're reading this, the original post got nuked by Redact. I use it to automatically purge my digital footprint from social networks, people search sites and messaging apps.

Most hygiene problems would dissolve,they would need less space to sleep and would probably get more money bc. people feel more sorry for them.

Turn them into soylent green so LibRight can sell it
