Most qualify for free thanksgiving / Christmas dinner
Free food from WIC
Free food on fridays in a backpack.per kid.
I have a niece -in law ? That uses foodstamps to buy her dogs food. Because they eat people food.
My daughter hears people talk at the pantry about how they get the food for their animals.
And the ones that I know have jobs and get this. I didn't know the starvation was real. Good thing gem city markets is coming to the rescue

A normal response is, if they are getting it for free, why shouldn't I get some for free too? But then people are falling into the trap of psychological conditioning towards dependency.

I can't speak for the whole island all I know is what I saw.
It used to not be like that. Foodstamps became rampant people stopped growing and raising animals because it just became easier to buy it from the store. And it was "free!" Oh therw was even this thing where there was free water for a town but they got to lazy too maintain it.
Even some of these natural disasters are their fault.
They got lazy didn't want to work the land cleared out most of the trees and orchards ( best translation I could find for it.) And what did that cause? Erosion! And made the fucking landslides worse! They really did haarp a solid with that great thinking.
I realize there were a million outside factors ( Clinton) that played into it but how could they be so stupid and fucking fall for them?? Last time I was there the American " Jew " nigger culture had hit hard.
I don't know how but all of a sudden the men stayed at home and the women worked. Almost a matriarchal society. But not enough to fit the definition.
Sila Calderon played a major role in the downfall. They lost what they were.
And now it's gone. Its playing out over here but slower.
Hahaha Helena Everything I've seen you talk about actually.
The miscegenation, the ruining of a culture,letting outsiders in , demoralization the whole 9. Hope I made your day.
I'm not saying that angrily.
It's just upsetting to have to write out loud.

Yeah Im a broken record. But I see the truth. Folks around here understand alot of the problems, but I feel they are really missing some of the underlying causes.
Thats true of lower and middle class whites here too. Only really wealthy guys are able to be sole bread winners. Because of the massive wealth redistribution from wealth producers (mostly men) to people in bullshit bureacratic jobs or living off social services (mostly women) women dont feel the need to get married or even have kids. But you cant feed a nation with bureacracy, and men have no incentive to work when everything they produce just gets taken away, and women dont have any use for them.
If you look at actual matrilineal societies (which were starting to go extinct until this recent matrilineal revival) they are all dead last economically because men only work hard when it leads to reproductive success. In matrilineal societies women tend to live with their birth families and depend on their brothers for man type shit. The men they mate with have low or no responsibility toward mom and baby. Thats what happens when you dont know who is sleeping with who.
This state of affairs tends to exist in a lot of tropical areas because historically those places are where women can support themselves because of the year round availability of plant based foods which are accessible to women. The welfare state has really created a condition similar to the economic models of tropical hunter gatherers. Its a backwards step. These societies have terrible problems.
You havent made my day. All this can be reversed, but we may have to go through a terrible world wide collapse for that to happen.
