SNAP Chatter

  I sat yesterday....watching a segment on SNAP....which the gov't is setting up a new rule...if you want SNAP benefits....you have to procure some type of temp-work...amounting to 80 man-hours a month.

Reporter asked some LA resident on their feelings about this....to which the person said: "I don't think it's fair. A lot of people don't have the resources to obtain new skills."

I pondered over this.

Shelf-stocking....McDonalds....gas-station clerk?  Is there really that much 'skill' involved?

I mean....if we were tasking you to be a nuke-plant button-pusher....it'd be different....but we aren't  going down that path.

But on the part of the LA resident...maybe they truly believe skill-sets are required for every single job.
