Just for contrast...there’s a lady who dines at our church kitchen once a week, I ran into her today, asked her how she’s doing.
She got a one-point-something raise in her Soc Sec check, came to around $10. Shortly after that, a notice came from county assistance saying that due to her Soc Sec increase, her food stamps allotment was being cut by $5.
She said it didn’t hurt much but hoped the $5 wasn’t going to a gender program in Pakistan.
LOL
Good——grim——humor. All that’s left to us now.
If keeps us from listening to Jim Carrey for laughs.
