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.
https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/work-requirements
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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_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.
What a laugh.

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);
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.
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, their 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.
What a laugh.
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.
