Sad But True - Unemployment Losses/ Food Stamp Cuts/ Most Americans Don't Care

[2naSalit]

19. So ranting

and personal anecdotal evidence equates to millions and it's all an opinion that I am required to simply believe because someone said so. Right.

So what I was saying is that the "people don't care" anecdote is not what I find in my experience and from people I speak with all over the country... the implication doesn't hold water.

And so I'll ask you, how do you know they don't? And I beg you, what overt behavior do you mean because I am not seeing it. I hear that there are well paid shills and cads on the TeeVee and satellite and radio broadcast that exhibit such behavior but I'm not seeing it on the streets nor am I hearing it from anyone anywhere who doesn't have a sponsored megaphone.

Can't come up with some poll or other viable source for that argument, I won't be buying it, sorry.

PS. I am one of those people whose UI benefits just ended and I live in a red state that won't be allowing me medical insurance and I am over fifty and can't find a FT/permanent job that pays a living wage. And I haven't heard one person tell me to get a job or that it's my fault that I don't have a job or that I'm lazy or any of that and I don't hear others saying it about anyone else in this situation, okay? What I do hear is people asking me if I do have a job and when they find I don't, they try to think of someone who is hiring or tell me that they have my number and will call if they have some work I can do for them... and if I need food to stop by their business and they will help me out.

Maybe you should stop watching the tube and find a creative way to deal with this crap rather than be an alarmist about the 1% and then blame the 99% for not caring. Calm down and think.
