Earlier this week I was grocery shopping, and at self check out, another woman started ringing her stuff up. She was talking pretty loudly. So at one point I turned to look at her, and she looked at me, and “I can’t believe they’re making me use my own money to pay for all this stuff!”

So I guess DOGE must’ve rooted her out or something. Or maybe her SNAP stopped including junk food.

Either way, I’ve always paid for my own groceries, every bit. Welcome to the real world, honey!

The bigger question: Why should I pay for any of your groceries? I would make anyone who gets ANY gov’t transfer payment (welfare, SNAP, Medicaid, rent subsidies, etc.) show up for a gov’t job at 8AM and work until 5PM. They might clean toilets in federal buildings, wash windows, clean streets, whatever. They show up or no benefits. At least taxpayers would be getting something for their money and I wonder how many would start looking for a better job since they have to work anyway.
