  • It doesn’t help that welfare does actually work this way.

    I don’t know the actual figures but my understanding is government assistance tends to work along the lines of “if you make less than $300, then the government gives you $100” so getting paid $350 is actually worse than being paid $290 for example, since going over the threshold cuts off the welfare completely.








  • I care about the people there. Same with any oppressive nation/state/province/etc. You can say Russia is a tyranny and you’d be correct, but don’t forget that there are certainly people living there who don’t agree with the regime – and there are people actively being oppressed.

    Surely you don’t think there aren’t any gay Russians, for example. Let’s not throw out all the people who are victims of Russian oppression while we condemn the country itself.
