How about drug testing all the politicians every week?
I figure so many of them are so old the drug test would come out inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily. Just think of all the shit people have to take in retirement homes then add in a factor of free healthcare and access to top tier doctors who can prescribe without concern over ethics.
Perhaps we should treat our politicians like athletes and expect a top performance free of doping.
Is that why filibusters can last so long?
Or make them retire before they’re geriatric.
Sounds like a fail to me. We will hold them to the same standards we would be held to. Can’t give a clean test then you are fired. We are also definitely going to watch you pee just like they do to all the poors as well. Turnabout is fair play.
Watch how fast drug tests would be made illegal.
inconclusive due to the drug cocktails they probably take daily.
Let’s just check for alcohol and opiates.
Via spinal tap to be sure
Tired of welfare farmers stealing American jobs and American tax payer dollars every 3-5 years
This makes me unreasonably upset. Farmers need to be drug tested AND breathalyzed. They also need to provide up to date household income information, including the gross income of anyone living on their property. They should also be required to provide last 3 to 5 employer references, verification they are working 40 hours per week or volunteering an equivalent amount at a state approved business, this all has to be done on an online site that requires desktop computer access. You can’t use Chrome or Firefox, only Microsoft Edge. If they don’t fill out the forms and attach the appropriately filled out paper documents properly, they will get a mailed statement letting them know they were denied and can re file after a 30 day waiting period. They can call to speak to their case manager, but there is only a phone tree that takes them to voicemail. If they miss the call back from the case manager, their file will be flagged as unresponsive and may require filling out all forms and paperwork again. They may also be denied because of typos, unfinished forms on the case manager side, or an unreasonable reading of acceptance rules.
This is not commentary on social services in America at all /s
where corn
Boooo! Keep the corn coming.
Remove the corn subsidies!
Corn farmers should be drug-tested every 90 days if they want a government handout.
Corn farmers should be 🌽-tested every 90 🌽 if they want government 🌽.
Who can be trusted to keep accurate count of the corn cobs?
Quis cobiet ipsos cobes?
The corn must flow
So should all members of Congress and the White House.
You ever tried farming not high? It’s boring as shit.
Slaps the side of the federal government
This bad boy can fit so many more surveillance programs
farmers should revolt against the capitalist government, for they are proletariats as well
Eah. A lot of “farmers” are land owners who hire other people to work on their farms. The average net worth of an American farming household is like, north of $1.5 million iirc.
1.5 million is not that much. Also theres a massive difference between how much you own (without debt) and how much money you make. Even while 1.5 million may sound like a lot it is in fact a quite small farm. They are probably not making that much money (also remember, that a lot of their income gets tunneled directly into paying back debt for investments.
I’m not saying they’re “rich”. I’m saying they’re not, as OP suggests, proletarian.
If they weren’t proletarian they wouldn’t have to work. Farmers are some of the most hard working people in society. 70h a week is a normal workload. They work 365 days a week and still get fucked over.
Is this something that I missed on SNAP benefits?
How have the mods of this comm not banned politics yet? This isn’t a fucking shitpost and everyone knows it.
I find the way you’re trying to influence the policy of this comm very annoying, please stop it.
Lol, no. Why should I stop? The motherfuckers posting political shit are trying to influence it, too.
Because you’re a hypocrite and they’re not. You don’t want politics, yet you’re doing politics right now. Us normal people like politics, so it’s not hypocritical for us to do it.
Normal people like politics? Huh. That’s a new one. So I’m not normal, and all the other people who agree with me aren’t either. You’re being manipulative and judgemental at the same time, while falsey calling me a hypocrite for disagreeing with you.
If you like politics and memes, I have great news for you! There’s a community on Lemmy SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT called c/politicalmemes! Have fun!
Not liking politics is extremely weird. Normal people like to watch political movies like Star Wars and read political books like The Hunger Games. We listen to political music like Eminem and appreciate political art like Banksy. Normal people tune into political podcasts like Joe Rogan, even though it sucks, because they love politics. We play political games like Metal Gear, and some of us even spend our sundays worshipping political gods like Jesus. You’re weird for not liking political media.
Go fuck yourself, you gaslighting creep.
I have that scheduled for this evening before bed, you apolitical.
