The More Americans That Go On Food Stamps The More... →
JP Morgan is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. JP Morgan has contracted to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. JP Morgan is paid for each case that it handles, so that means that the more Americans that go on food stamps, the more profits JP Morgan makes. Yes, you read that correctly. When the number of Americans on food...

ENFP- Why you want one: Passionate, unpredictable, absolutely always interesting. Spoiler Alert: Not loyal to people or ideologies. One day it’s yoga, the next it’s kickboxing.

“…in real life I always seem to have a hard time winding up a conversation or asking somebody to leave, and sometimes the moment becomes so delicate and fraught with social complexity that I’ll get overwhelmed trying to sort out all the different possible ways of saying it and all the different implications of each option and will just sort of blank out and do it totally...

Braving drug gang turf wars in Ciudad Juarez that have killed some 6,700 people since 2008, including hundreds of women, the club that calls itself...

Imagine a nation that loved all its children so passionately that it built an entire social and economic structure around protecting them, nurturing them, fostering their growth, and supporting their every stage of life. The logic of this care for children would, of course, extend to the conditions by which those children entered the...

– Lierre Keith (via cuntymint)
This guy sounds interesting, but the last bit of this quote is a complete straw man argument. There are no mainstream environmental groups that advocate personal consumer choices as the only - or even most important - way to solve our planet’s environmental problems.

Please sign this petition calling for the reduction on appeal of Ms. Kelly Williams-Bolar’s unfair sentencing for fraud and theft

The Slanted Playing Field
(abbyjean via squashed)
Monopoly is a good game for libertarians. Everybody starts out in the same spot. The rules are clear and understandable. There’s a lot of luck—but enough skill that you can feel good about winning. And it’s just a game. We don’t need to shed any tears for the losers.
To succinctly demonstrate my problems with the libertarian view, let’s change one rule. The player with...

Amazing People I Have Known, #1- Linda
A long time ago, I befriended a then 55 year old woman named Linda whom I worked with, and Linda was obsessed with Tyrone Power. I’m pretty awkward and moderately standoffish, in general. I require crazy amounts of personal space… all the time. In work situations especially, I always gravitate toward the people who exude that same sort of energy. They’re less likely to mistake my...
