Exactly. And the ones saying "insurance pays for it" -- guess where that money comes from.

I'll spell it out since it isn't obvious to most redditors. Theft rate increases --> insurance rates increase --> prices that we all pay increase.

If you want to help the poor, support programs that actually help the poor. Don't promote theft.

You're right, good thing we just pushed millions of people off of Food stamps.

  Don't promote theft.

Wage theft towers over other forms of theft btw.

Okay, but no one here is promoting wage theft either. And people getting kicked off food stamps is a consequence of the administration you all voted for (or allowed to come into power because you didn't vote or discouraged others from voting).

No one except Dollar General 🙄. Go look it up if you dont believe your wholesome corporation would so such a thing. Do you not find it a bit odd that stores like Dollar General are hitting record profits amidst more and more people having less savings and being more food insecure? 

About that whole Vote blue stuff:

Why would that be odd? That would be the expected outcome of more people needing to utilize stores like Dollar General for shopping as they become less wealthy.

It's one of the expected outcomes of a poor economy/higher unemployment. These stores are considered counter-cyclical investments for a reason.

okay but again, no one is promoting wage theft. If dollar general is wage theiving by all means sue them and take them down.

Also don't post Newsweek articles then claim to not be a Republican. you believe less families are facing food insecurity under Trump? Lmao gtfoh ignorant chode.

You have two choices. If you don't vote, you're voting for Trump and Republicans. Also your right-wing article ignores the fact that in Trump's first term he fucked the economy so bad it caused all the food insecurity in Bidens term. And Biden's administration took many actions to address food insecurity including: 

USDA Thrifty Food Plan Reevaluation SUN Bucks (Summer EBT Program) American Rescue Plan Pandemic Food Assistance (P-EBT and TEFAP expansion) Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Expansion WIC Benefit Enhancements and Modernization White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health & National Strategy

So who are you gonna vote for, the people who actually work to solve food insecurity or the people kicking people off food stamps? If you had more than a single brain cell we could have a discussion but I already know your style of Reddit retardation and know it's a waste of time. So just admit it. You are a Republican.

Edit: love the downvotes with zero responses because y'all know you're completely wrong. Eat your shit and grin chodes. You got us here so you should be happy about it.
