Lol..... ok. Im pretty sure children are starving everywhere in america.
It's still strange how you guys think they just give food stamps to people for free, I dont know how other states do it but in ohio it has been that way for decades. You either need to be disabled or working to qualify for assistance. This tells me alot of you have never actually been unlucky enough to be in this situation. Theres not much you can do when your a kid born into the situation. I still remember being a child and feeling completely powerless to change, anything. And here I am at the end, facing the same situation, its ironic beauty or something.
If you are age 16–59 and able to work, you will probably need to meet the general work requirements to get SNAP benefits. The general work requirements include registering for work, participating in SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) or workfare if assigned by your state SNAP agency, taking a suitable job if offered, and not voluntarily quitting a job or reducing your work hours below 30 a week without a good reason.
You are excused from the general work requirements if you are any one of these things:
Already working at least 30 hours a week (or earning wages at least equal to the federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours); ------------------The current federal minimum wage in the USA is $7.25 per hour and has been since July 2009. For tipped employees, the federal minimum cash wage is $2.13 per hour, but employers must ensure that the employee's tips plus the cash wage add up to at least the full federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. States can set their own minimum wage laws, but they must be at least equal to the federal rate.
Meeting work requirements for another program (TANF or unemployment compensation);
Taking care of a child under six or an incapacitated person;
Unable to work due to a physical or mental limitation;
Participating regularly in an alcohol or drug treatment program;
Studying in school or a training program at least half-time (but college students are subject to other eligibility rules).
Then on top of that what a asinine thing to say in dayton, a city which has a huge population of 2nd/3rd generation appalachians.
Most of the Appalachian migrants settled in industrial centers in the Midwest and Northeast, with Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Toledo, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh being known for particularly large populations. Others moved to urban areas in the South, such as Atlanta and Louisville; other cities that have smaller but significant populations are Columbus, Fort Wayne, Lansing, Flint and Dayton.
I promise you, there are plenty of kids in southern ohio starving. That I have very little doubt.
Even when I was a kid growing up in the 90's there were more than a few kids who couldnt afford anything. Their primary source of food was the school breakfast and lunch. I cant imagine what its like now. And it was mostly kids with one mom who had a mental illness who didnt qualify for the stringent disability, anyone with money gets a lawyer for that.
One in five children in Ohio face food insecurity, a rate that is higher than the national average, with some counties having a rate of 1 in 4. This is a significant problem affecting over half a million children in the state, impacting their health and academic performance. Efforts are being made to address this through school meal programs and organizations like the Children's Hunger Alliance and the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, but the need remains high.
Very early on in Mary Katherine Trigg’s career as a teacher in rural Jackson, Louisiana, she noticed that a few of her kindergarteners were stealing and hoarding snacks from the lunch room. When she eventually sat down with the 5-year-olds to talk about their stashes, their intentions became clear: They wanted to make sure that they and their siblings had food at home later.
A similar pattern emerged when Trigg observed older students in the cafeteria, scarfing down multiple lunches and asking classmates for leftovers. It became overwhelmingly apparent that many students were unsure of where their next meals would come from — especially once school was no longer in session.
Soon enough, Trigg, along with a few fellow teachers, started to do some sneaking around of her own. “We would gather extra unopened food from the lunchroom and snack time (even though I don’t think we were technically supposed to) and put it in certain kids’ backpacks when the room was empty to avoid embarrassment for the student. We’d often send extra over the weekend too if need be,” Trigg says.
Childhood hunger is not an issue that’s exclusive to one small part of the country, and Mary is certainly not the only teacher facing it head-on in the classroom.
According to No Kid Hungry, one in six children in the U.S. struggles with hunger, and a similarly startling three out of four teachers report having students that come to school hungry. Childhood hunger affects almost every city, suburb, community, and classroom (where kids spend a majority of their time).
I dont get why people are all mad at each other, we should be blaming the people at the top! Billions upon Billions for the military/spying complex, but we have nothing to spare for the average person. What a farce.
With that all being said, thats not exactly what this asshat said. I can barely watch bureaucrats talk, they are all full of shit.
But it sounds like hes promising to reform the education system, the same one that that has been slowly dismantled over these last 30 years. They spent the last 10 years funneling billions in taxpayer money for public schools that serve millions of children to private religious institutes that serve thousands of children. Its criminal.
The center had played a key role in bringing about one of the most dramatic expansions of private school vouchers in the country, making it possible for all Ohio families — even the richest among them — to receive public money to pay for their children’s tuition. In the mid-1990s, Ohio became the second state to offer vouchers, but in those days they were available only in Cleveland and were billed as a way for disadvantaged children to escape struggling schools. Now the benefits extend to more than 150,000 students across the state, costing taxpayers nearly $1 billion, the vast majority of which goes to the Catholic and evangelical institutions that dominate the private school landscape there.
Not even that much of an exaggeration, since his actual answer is improving child literacy rates. How is that supposed to help hungry kids now? Train them to be more employable so they can get a job?
And the African kween with a "hate whitey" degree gets DEI'd into a role and get 150k/year to spam emails about oppression to a workforce making half her salary to do the actual work
Seems like he had to add that because turning schools into soup kitchens for niglets sounds terrible as a solution (although that's what happens in reality)
His "we have to fix the 25% school absenteeism rate first" was clearly coded that the State can't feed niglets with free school lunches if their EBT qween Shaniqua's can't bother to put them on the bus.
Child literacy would actually improve if you improve their diet. Get the processed shit, candy, soda and empty carbs out of schools and feed them some actual fucking meat and vegetables and their cognitive skills will improve. But of course, Vivek and his paymasters wouldn't like that any more than they'd be on board with ending H1B visas.
I'm gonna bring in a 100% 3rd grade reading guarantee to schools
So, he's dumb enough to bring back the no child left behind debacle all over again. Nobody with half a brain on the right should even remotely believe in blank slate bullshit, so he's either retarded or completely disingenuous, either way he's poison.
His "a 3rd grade reading level essentially is 100% immunity from future poverty" is a very declarative absolutist certainty that he seems to have completely pulled from his ass.
Yeah so the policy is premised on a risible lie and any child that somehow benefits will be replaced by an Indian anyway. Clearly the man we should have running for the governorship of an R+10 state
Well, he will likely be running against the literal architect and poster child of Ohio's Covid response. So we either get him, or the very negative outcome of rewarding being associated with that. Shit sandwich all around.
Vivek was an advisor on ohios covid response team reporting to the Lt. Governor. So I guess ohios fucked all around. But vivek is a fucking snake. Needs to be deported with extreme prejudice
"childhood hunger" is a fake and manipulative issue. Arrest parents for neglect if they aren't feeding their kids. The welfare class kids are at much higher risk of obesity that lack of food.
Now that I notice it, I can even hear the Indian in his voice and can't unhear it. Lots of little telltales, for example all the sentences starting in 'By...' at around 47s. This guy was born and raised in Ohio wasn't he? There is no way to explain this without recognising fundamental racial differences, or else at least acknowledging that this son of supposed 'successful assimilators' has spent so long surrounded exclusively by other Indians that he picked up generational hallmarks. Vivek remains the most radicalising exhibit of ethnic diversity in all my experience.
Third graders do not earn an income, Vivek. It doesn't matter how well they can read, it's the income of their parents that matter.
You and your kind have been actively attacking those parents. You moved their jobs to China and to India. When that wasn't enough you started importing Chinese and Indians to take what remains and squeeze the middle class completely. You can't even drive a truck these days.
You and your kind bought all our properties and then jacked up the rates at the bank. It used to be that reading at a 3rd grade level would let you buy a house. Those days are long gone.
You stood by while these parents were attacked, labeled terrorists, all for wanting their children's bathrooms to be secure.
Fuck this preppy dipshit. He's never going to hold office again.
I dont think his response was off base, but he isnt America First, he is another empty suit who knows what to say to get elected, then he will do whatever his tribal anti-American brain will think of once he gets elected. This is what they all do.
There are no hungry children in Ohio unless they are being intentionally starved.
Intentional starvation is what a solution should actually address, I think. Methhead parents are probably the leading cause
Lol..... ok. Im pretty sure children are starving everywhere in america.

What a laugh.
Not even that much of an exaggeration, since his actual answer is improving child literacy rates. How is that supposed to help hungry kids now? Train them to be more employable so they can get a job?
Train them so they can watch foreigners take the job anyway.
Worse, trick them into going deep into debt to receive the training in fields where all the entry-level jobs go to cheap foreign labor.
not just any debt, debt that can't even be discharged via bankruptcy
And the African kween with a "hate whitey" degree gets DEI'd into a role and get 150k/year to spam emails about oppression to a workforce making half her salary to do the actual work

I caught that too.
His "we have to fix the 25% school absenteeism rate first" was clearly coded that the State can't feed niglets with free school lunches if their EBT qween Shaniqua's can't bother to put them on the bus.
Child literacy would actually improve if you improve their diet.

But of course, Vivek and his paymasters wouldn't like that any more than they'd be on board with ending H1B visas.
Child literacy rates would improve if you improved their racial demographics.
Porque no los dos?
He is a jeet, jeets are Asian. He is basically giving the Classic Asian speech of study harder and all problems are solved.
Nah it couldnt be the corporations exploiting honest people, no no.
Its got to be the people, if only those dum hillibilly's knew how to read...... /sarcasm
So, he's dumb enough to bring back the no child left behind debacle all over again. Nobody with half a brain on the right should even remotely believe in blank slate bullshit, so he's either retarded or completely disingenuous, either way he's poison.
His "a 3rd grade reading level essentially is 100% immunity from future poverty" is a very declarative absolutist certainty that he seems to have completely pulled from his ass.
His fellow countrymen can’t read above that level and are guaranteed free jobs by the US government. That’s what he means.
He has to support the blank slate lie because the alternative is to admit his own people are a bunch of scammy tards.
Himself first and foremost among them.
Yeah so the policy is premised on a risible lie and any child that somehow benefits will be replaced by an Indian anyway. Clearly the man we should have running for the governorship of an R+10 state
Nonsense, he can implement the indian schooling system and bring those numbers right up!
Who needs competency when you can just bribe the school?
Id vote for a potato before voting for a shit eating low iq Indian.
Well, he will likely be running against the literal architect and poster child of Ohio's Covid response. So we either get him, or the very negative outcome of rewarding being associated with that. Shit sandwich all around.
Ah the classic "you're not voting out of this" gambit.
Definitely not since vivek was one of the architects
Vivek was an advisor on ohios covid response team reporting to the Lt. Governor. So I guess ohios fucked all around. But vivek is a fucking snake. Needs to be deported with extreme prejudice
To the fucking sun.
"childhood hunger" is a fake and manipulative issue. Arrest parents for neglect if they aren't feeding their kids. The welfare class kids are at much higher risk of obesity that lack of food.
Don't answer the question they asked, answer the question you wish they had asked.
Now that I notice it, I can even hear the Indian in his voice and can't unhear it. Lots of little telltales, for example all the sentences starting in 'By...' at around 47s.

Fuck this preppy dipshit. He's never going to hold office again.
Hell, he's never held office in the first place lol
This jeet is the toilet that just won't flush.
indian exclusion act
It's a retarded question in the first place. I wish normies weren't so retarded and that "this question is fucking retarded" was a viable response.
His hair annoys me .
Was the correct answer communism??
I dont think his response was off base, but he isnt America First, he is another empty suit who knows what to say to get elected, then he will do whatever his tribal anti-American brain will think of once he gets elected. This is what they all do.
