Jesus. I know I'm correcting them and not you but come the fuck on! 92% of able bodied adults on medicaid work and you can't buy prepared food from a food truck with food stamps. You have to make your own sandwiches. Theoretically a food truck selling only cold sandwiches COULD take EBT in some circumstances...they don't for obvious reasons.

It's not a minor point to misunderstand the entire issue. It doesn't mean its not important but it's good to understand the exact nature of the problem.
Almost all the ones who can work are working. The people who will lose insurance are those who can't work in any case
Actually you can get free health insurance for a family of two if living on 500 a week at least in some places. Full time at 12.50 or 25 hours at 20 an hour or anything in between. If that seems like a lot consider 2 people can easily eat $500 in food at present prices, rent can easily cost $1200 for a shitty apartment in a shitty neighborhood. yada yada. This is basically about nothing to live on.
Notably many families have one worker because one has health problems or is needed to do childcare because the amount they would earn is actually less than childcare alone let alone benefits + childcare expenses. Many folks who are disabled in fact receive basically no help of any kind if the other partner works or if they cannot spend years fighting it out in court.
Lots of people already living marginal lives will be effected.
Another example consider older relatives too young to receive medicare but not employable because of some combination of age and health. They might live with relatives but rely on government health insurance.
Another yet consider people who who living with relations providing childcare and relying on the government for health care. They effectively ARE working for board but making them try to compete with 20 year olds to work at McD will likely result in damage to the family and the person who will lose health care if they can't work or the family who will lose childcare if they can.
Russia literally said they want to take an entire list of places where 100M people live and make them Russia. The US said it intended to take CA and Greenland.
Anyone willing to stand up to defend these places would end up in a war. If everyone abandons their neighbors then there is absolutely no reason for Russia, the US, and China to divide up the world between them. These are people with their own plans, nations, cultures who don't want to choose whose boot to live under. The only way to do this is to be able to fight.
You have to spend money on weapons in order to have the privilege of sitting peacefully with those weapons rather than dying on your enemies.
Everyone has a right to go their own way. Everyone has a right to have an opinion on how you go your own way.
The percent of US Christians and veterans who picked Cheeto exceed 60% both groups should properly classed as nazis and traitors.
We absolutely had a choice
And no, it doesn't run worse
Flatpaks that aren't official products of the source project sometimes have interesting issues pertaining to their permissions, are harder to set as the handler for files, harder to enable usage of system tools, don't follow system themes, are harder to start or use from the command line, and yes start slower than native apps.
I like the idea that even stable distros can have latest stuff easily or distros which don't package a given project. I use a few myself. It is certainly annoying that it ends up teaching people about what dirs they need to share with flatseal, flatseal, desktop files, and the command line for something which is supposed to simplify things.
Kinda feels like less work to use rolling release with a more comprehensive set of packages.
There’s a good reason why there is no GUI installer in arch (aside from being able to load it into ram).
This is the dumbest conceit of the arch community. I learned Linux using Fedora back when regular usage required more know how than installing arch does and it was enormously helpful to have something you could click and install and THEN learn in a functional environment. Also following the guide isn't THAT hard its just a waste of effort for a million people to do so.
Christianity IS evil. Whilst the possibly mythic progenitor of the religion is supposed to be good its been broadly responsible for many evil acts and given a chance couldn't even speak out against actual Hitler until after he was defeated and dead.
It's not "full nazi" whatever that means in this context to have an accurate understanding that certain groups are not in any way on the right side of things. Some individuals might be but those groups as a whole are on the side of power. They've always been on the side of power. They have never been on the whole or on average good people.
