I feel like watching two trolls argue in a fruitless manner against each other is a metaphor for Kansas current situation, but damned I'm sure exactly what that metaphor is.

Insane man, you need more than a greyhound ticket to actually live outside Kansas. For example: you need money to buy food, to buy shelter, and then you need to be able to continue affording all that until you find a job. Please, insane man, describe how these people from Kansas will be able to afford that stuff.

I remember reading about when hundreds of thousands of Okies all picked up and moved to California at once, and they were all easily able to get new jobs and housing on arrival, bootstrapping themselves into security and prosperity.

I honestly didn't realize that Gibbis had a Kansas thread too. I just dug up this lovely little chestnut from there: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/25/opinion/toyota-moving-northward.html?_r=0 Basically in 2005 Toyota wanted to build a new manufacturing plant and were going to choose between Kansas and Ontario. Now even though Kansas had low, low taxes for businesses in the hopes of attracting new industries, Toyota was absolutely appalled by the lack of education and basic infrastructure. The Toyota guys found that "the educational level in the Southern United States was so low that trainers for Japanese plants in Alabama had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech equipment." Meanwhile in socialist commie tax-loving Canada, Ontario got a new Toyota plant. Even though the company would experience more corporate taxation there, the population was actually able to learn how to use the machinery quickly and effectively because they, y'know, invested in schools. The fact that Toyota didn't have to directly pay for benefits (since everyone was already covered under their national health care plan) was also a major plus.

Call Me Charlie posted:
This is something I've encountered a bunch of times among rural poor. People seem to think that somewhere, there's people getting by on welfare. It's either illegal immigrants, or urban poor, or black people... anyone but them. Because they can tell that the safety nets aren't working for them, so it's gotta be just working for someone else. However, those people are right there, cause they're experiencing how cruel our systems are and how they really don't help people. It's really not that big of a leap to see past them, to see that people all over are facing the same issues they are.

It's because this mindset is promoted by conservatives and allowed to be propagated in their churches. The poor whites believe that their pastors would never lie to them about how Jesus wants them to be successful, but they are being held back by those lousy takers. They give one man a nickel And tell the other it's a dime Just the crumbs from their table It's all by design

Well it looks like Kansas may be rolling back one of the dumbest provisions in their welfare reform: limiting ATM withdrawals for those on welfare to 25$ a day, an idea that could only have sprouted from a very very stupid brain because: *The vast majority of ATMs don't dispense 5$ bills, so this is actually a 20$ a day limit. *Making small daily withdrawals instead of one lump sum means withdrawal fees every goddamn time. Enjoy having as much as 15% of your welfare eaten up just from ATM fees. *If an ATM isn't readily accessible on your daily route (particularly if you take public transport) getting your welfare money is even more of a hassle. I don't understand these fuckwits at all. Hell, I'm not even sure these Legislators go to a bank regularly.

Several large employers tried only offering pay on debit cards with usage fees attached for awhile but got shot down in court over it: http://www.today.com/money/feds-employers-cant-force-payroll-debit-cards-workers-8C11312099 The kind of crazy fee structures on these cards ( a fee for checking your balance? Really? REALLY? ) reeks of kickback and/or the employer owning the financial institution that issued the cards. What I'm saying is, don't be so quick to attribute to ignorance what is explainable by corruption on this one.
