80 hours?!?! That’s double time. 8+ year olds aren’t old enough to be left alone and a parent would be arrested for leaving any kid under 13. I thought they were all about family.

80 hours with a 8 year old… lots of 8 balls can’t help this…

That's absolute slavery. Well you know when Republicans go to the grocery store accidents do happen I can see a little extra slippage in aisle " pick a number " happening

He's the dealmaker who got dealt a bad hand... by a country that invented playing cards.

80 hours a Week! What happened to a 40-hour work week?

But it's also wrong. 80 hours a month. Doesn't change the principle, but at least the math works.

Rage farming 😒

Congress "works" about 80 hours A YEAR... #endthegop They not only want to exhausted physically and mentally. They want us d3ad.

The GOP has obviously defaulted on their identity of the party of family values; as well as the party of law and order. Instead they've become the party of oligarchy.

Umm, if you are working 80 hours a week, shouldn't you be making enough money to not need foodstamps? I can't wait for progressives to run the country and bring Denmark like living conditions to the American people! Universal healthcare, full union membershp, pensions, childcare, vacation time, etc!

It’s 80 hours a MONTH, not a WEEK🤦‍♀️ It’s important to be factual and leave exaggeration and fantasy to MAGAS!

I was wondering about that. That's more than 16 hours a day in a 5 day week. People do it sometimes but it's not sustainable.

I believe it was written in error.

Most likely. There is a > sign in front of the 80. Even a < sign doesn’t make sense. Just needed to correct it. ☺️

Are there exceptions for things like chronic illness? I’m guessing probably not, and that they think stuff like that can all be solved with prayer or fitness.

20 hours a week 80 a month to qualify for food assistance. How single moms could do that? Maybe go after the Deadbeat Dads! Gotta pay for each child’s care and healthcare!

EIGHTY HOURS A WEEK! IF YOU'RE WORKING EIGHTY HOURS A WEEK YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE. Although most of it is going out for childcare, so maybe you do.

Remember the magats only care about the fetus in the womb. Not children. That’s it and that’s all. Only to show off their “Christian values” and brag how unchristian all others are

80 hours a week? That's two full time jobs. That, by itself, is insane.

I saw a veteran struggling with his oxygen tank to clean the bathrooms at Walmart! Trump is a fat pig.

So... working a 12-hour shift 7 days a week is the new American Dream, according to Donny Sh*tler. Make America Graft All****ingWeek

These motherfuckers aren't Christian, caring, concernrd in any way. They are confederates disgusted as Americans on a mission to destroy the constitution and bring back the southern confederacy in all it's evil form. Everyone is being bullshited about what they think is going on.

More than 80 hours a week?!?

You at the house is in session for 147 days this year, less than 6 months. So they don't deserve a paycheck at all.

They'll be sending children down mines soon - very Dickensian.

I worked those kinda hours when i was young and out in the oilfields. This body is so broken now and that's why i'm on assistance. Those rich folks are totally just tryin to land everyone else in an early grave, but then they'll have no one to push around anymore.

Damn it this pisses me off beyond pissivity. Leave people alone.

Pro birth that’s all they care about.

Not at all. Children over eight can surely make a decent living themselves cleaning chimneys and working in cotton mills.

Rather pick a pocket or two.

GOP should be called Grand Old Pigs, because that’s what they are

It's also all not going to take effect until they leave office, but the tax breaks to billionaires happen immediately.

80 hours a week?

Month

More than 80 hours a week?

They are pro their own family. All for me but not for Thee.

You bet it is. Your descriptions are right on.

80 hours?!

Yeah--I don't get it ether

80 hours a week?? That can't be right.

Actually it’s up to 80 hours a month. In fact, they may send the person to a “job” in the community

They are the Pro-Suffering Party. All their actions are always to maximize the suffering in any given situation.

So … (poor) children are sent to the work farms at age 8? Is that the plan??

WTF? 80 hours a week? In Maine, you must be unemployed or very low income to receive state assistance with food stamps, heating assistance, WIC, etc. Who the fuck wrote this 80 hour a week bullshit? Oh, that's right, an uneducated republican.

Holy fuck. That's sick.

I just pray there are enough republican senators that will at least pretend to be the adults in the room and put an end to this congressional debacle. 🤦‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️😖

All the republicans care about is money. Which is funny, because a huge percentage of their followers don’t have any.

You're a 3rd world country!!

They don't call it "third world" any more. The preferred use is "developing nations"—but the USA isn't developing, it's regressing. Not so much an emerging nation as a submerging one.

Again a reminder: They're doing this because they're pretty certain they won't need to run for re-election. They're already working on laws to strip the judiciary of it's ability to say "no" to them

Christian nation eh?

That sounds backwards.

If you work 80hrs to qualify, then you make too much for the income qualification

That fella is wrong. The current law does not state how many hours a week you must work to qualify for food stamps. What a damn liar.

20 hours per week.

I believe he meant 80 hrs per month.

if you are working you shouldnt need food assistance

So who is supposed to babysit the kids while the parent works 16 hours per day?

Nobody can or should work 80 hours a week. As a single parent, I always worked 50-60 wage slave hours a week; never earned enough to disqualify myself and my kids frm food/med assistance. I am now a retirement age wage slave; likely never able to retire. Everything wanters are gonna take it all.

80 hrs. per week?!

This measurement is usually 80 hours over two weeks, as in being qualified for overtime.

Oh, even better. The rule says 80 hours per MONTH.

Apparently kids stop eating after they turn 7. Who knew?

Could we have some stronger, condemnatory language, so that the GQPNazis are made well aware how dangerous their position is?

This is not true in Cali, there is no work rules. You just have to qualify based on income. ABAWD (Able bodied adults) requirements are currently waived and have been for years here. We also provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants, but Newsome is cancelling it. It helped so many 😭

What if they go to college??? Working 20 hours a week on top of college classes ESPECIALLY higher level classes is ridiculous for something that should be free at the point of service and a fucking human right.

More than 80 hrs/week??? Wth?

Repubs call themselves pro-life. But their policies are equivalent to pro-life (in any manner - Ask Adriana Smith’s mother), pro-suffering, and pro-death.

A con is a con is a con.

I don’t quite understand. I’m in Australia, 71yr old, fully retired and only pay 30% of chef prepared meals delivered to my home. I’m eating French cuisine, seafood etc anything I want. I don’t pay for ANY medicals including physio and hospital etc and I get a fortnightly Pension.

Americans get $ taken out of every paycheck for social security (SS). If they die while on SS the $ disappears as it is NOT in their name so their spouse, kids get nothing. Aussies get superannuation in our name. If we die that $ goes to the family. Aussies also get a pension. Yanks R ripped off!

It’s a very sad situation over there. I just couldn’t imagine life where you’re taken advantage of with no rights to fight back. I’d leave the country.

Not so. Look it up

Which part?

Hi Susan, I’m not speaking for that person lol but I know you’re right about Aussies situation and since they haven’t replied to you, I’m sure you are right about the US situation. Thanks 🙏🙏

The US is on the other side of the planet. Pretty sure they are asleep right now! But we are soooo lucky to be Aussies! I don't know how Americans survive with for-profit health care!

Yeah I’m sure you’re right and they will reply to you once they are awake. Cheers 👍

Oh WOW😳😢

TWO insured couples. One got cancer. Lost the house paying that. They bought another one (mortgage) then the other got cancer. Lost the house! Again! Another couple's kid got cancer. Did fundraising non-stop for 2 years. They lost their house and their kid! The man was a cop, wife a pharmacist.

I’m sure there are heaps of people in this situation over there.

Many don't

As I wrote, you can look it up. ChatGPT has a free tier. It's easy. When you see something like this it's the first thing you should do. For example: chatgpt.com/share/682968...

Wow. Love chat GPT! Now I can use it! Thanks for that. This is how I see it: USA husband dies. He makes more money so his wife gets his SS. Hers disappears. Aussies get both as both are in our own name. If both man and wife die, unless the kids are under 18, they get nothing. SS disappears. Right?

That’s because your country doesn’t suck like ours does.

💔

It's because America Oligarchs & Politicians don't care about the People. It's disgusting. Long hours, hardly any leave compared to Australia, medical insurance linked to a job...too bad if you are laid off. The whole system is making private corporations & CEOs rich & keeping working People poor.

💔

And even then the cost of health care premiums are getting outrageous, especially if you have a family

Corporations are raking in profits whilst denying valid claims! Things have to change! People need to start rising up! The RICH distract everyone with a culture war, whilst they are destroying the chance for average American families to live comfortably, with basic food, medical care & education.

If I worked 80 hours a week I wouldn't need food assistance I'd need a grave. It's 26 hours generally

exactly around 20 a week

Thank you. I had some young women working for me who I'd try and schedule their hours to fit the requirements. It was tough on them.

yes sometimes even 20 hrs a week is a huge hardship depending upon travel and esp if young kids are involved And you ,if none have told you, are very good person to try and help these young employees with their scheduling rather than give them ultimatums like some hard ass would buying you a 🍺 😀

Most of the young women that worked for needed a lot of help and some had children very young. We need compassion not more rules.

I'm with you! when did cruelty become so acceptable?

George: please take this down because it is incorrect. NOT 80 hours a week!!

Medicaid is income driven. If people have a good paying job they don’t qualify. Politicians are soooo out of touch🤦🏻‍♀️

Some folks are working this much already, but rent and or mortgage takes most of it, utilities, childcare, car insurance if applicable, cell phone service, clothes for kids, not to mention paying for their share of benefits offered by the employer. They may or may not have enough for food.

And this is still okay with their supporters because their supporters are willing to starve if it means some brown people will be shorted a spoonful of broth. Truly horrid, evil 'people'!

Republicans love watching children starve

GOP never misses an opportunity to be sadistic.

80 hrs a week? That’s ridiculous!

Per month

Oh ok I was freaking out myself!

Thank you for the clarification, I was losing it on that.

They are neither pro-family nor pro life; they are PRO-LIE.

80 hours per month.

Pro 1950s white christian family

Oh god. They are so disgusting

All the waste fraud and abuse come from the top 10% who pay zero and gain every subsidy and tax break imaginable.

Yes, because you can leave a seven year-old by themselves to fend for themselves while you go to work. That would end up getting the child taken away in some states. Are we gonna go back to the days of latchkey children

When was the last time a Republican president did something good for this country. If you think raising the deficit and losing millions of jobs is good, then they've done a great job.

OMG. This is disgusting.🤬

So u have to work 80hrs a week to get food assistance? I don't get it.

depravity. Federal min wage $7.25 per hour. While there are states & cities w/ an increased minimum wage. Say nationwide there’s an hrs work max to not receive FA. Set at avg 36 hrs per week. If Congress sets work requirement at 80, you are not receiving FA. work or starve. starve there is none.

Yet as others have pointed out the 80 hrs is for the month, not per week. The requirement would be 20 hrs per week = 80 hrs per month.

Oh I see. Thanks for explaining it 🙂

12 hours a day, 7 days a week. This guy is a monster, i hope he pay the price one of these day.

The issue is employers paying less than a living wage for full time work. When people who work full time have to get food assistance that means that taxpayers are subsidizing employers. Sounds a lot like socialism to me.

How else will the GOPs child labor laws pass?

And $7 minimum wage in most states is disgusting. That's why the working poor already work 80 hours a week.

I think he made an error on the 80 hrs a week. The requirement is 👇 SNAP Work Requirements Dec 9, 2024 — Work at least 80 hours a month.

Thank you for clarifying....that makes more sense.

You're too kind - seriously tho - That was no accident!!! They got caught.

Thank you. I was confused by that.

That will work well for all the military families, seniors, college students that make up the bulk of the food assistance folks.

They want the poor to suffer.

I thought that Legally children under 12 cannot be left home alone. Even if they could how would this be good for children?

#CruelRepublicans

That's not pro family! IT'S PRO SLAVERY!

Really shameful 😕

No. They are pro birth. After that, you are on your own.

Whether intentional or not the hours are 80 per month, not week. I just wanted to point this out, work requirements have always been proven to fail. But our narrative needs to be based on facts

80 hours per month, but still bad.

The catch is $$. Make too much? Don't qualify. And the "too much" ceiling is ridiculously low. A cashier working at Walmart often makes "too much".

Also keep in mind this is exclusively for food assistance. Working 80 hours a month isn't going to cover rent.

That makes a lot more sense. It's still dumb because work requirements kinda defeat part of the purpose of food stamps, but for a minute I was very confused.

Thank you for that correction. I was kind of thinking that was not possible, but then I feel like we are constantly living in an Onion article, so there's that.

Tax Musk, Zuckerberg, & Bezos and give every individual a loaf of bread a day. Cut taxes for Musk, Zuckerberg, & Bezos and destroy quality of life the vast majority of the population. It is that simple. Reaganism is FAILED ECONOMICS.

I was about to look that up, so thanks.

I was like DAMN.

Me too? I was thinking, if you can find and do work 80 hours a week, unless you're making 1.00 hour, they will probably tell you then you make too much? Catch 22.

Don't give these assholes any ideas...

Fair enough

Do they expect seven year olds to babysit themselves?

I really hope all maga loses their benefits. It will be joy.

In fairness, Republicans are also making it possible for 7-year-olds to make extra money by working the midnight shift at meat packing plants.

working people shoukdnt need food assistance

And get married.

In Trump’s mind, they can still play jacks with one hand.

" you kids finish up your Bible homework and get down to the meat packing house"

And if they're 7 year old girls, they can just be married off to a 50 year old Republican dude.

Silver linings.

It should have said 80 hours per month, but it's still going to lead to a lot people getting kicked off Medicaid, sometimes simply because the paperwork required to prove employment overwhelms them.

80 hours a month on a factory job is still to much for teenagers really. It's to much for a single mother with 7 year old. Hell every dime she earns will go to daycare. I really hate the fu@king bootstrap people if someone needs the social safety net fine, but don't hate those who need it you might!

Doubly shameful!! The GOP is NOT pro-family!

😱

I knew it would be a work requirement tied to benefits. They’ve been trying for years to get that passed. If you don’t have childcare how are you supposed to work? Picking fruits and veggies will be the “job” they will have to do for the Afrikaners farmers. Why do you think he chose them?

don’t forget about them marrying children. #endchildmarriageNOWprolife #truthovernarrative

👆🏾This part. They want a lot more latch key white girls so ppl can SA them. That was the 1st thing I thought of after Why do they want parents gone so fkn much?

dig deep in my profile and you will be mortified.

So much this 👆

the kids can earn bonuses for every shift they don't lose one of their fingers

About time those freeloaders pay their parents rent!!

And coal mines. Maybe in a dress factory, too?

Brings a whole new meaning to “bring your kid to work” day

Republicans show their concern for the importance of education by allowing children to fit in work after and before school hours. Of course marketing is as “It’s a boost for families impacted by Biden’s disastrous inflationary polices.” Win-win! 🙄🙄🙄

I thought it would be the coal mines, where they can fit more easily through the fissures.

But the waiting room for interview for that job will be full of 7-year olds, 16 year olds (can't afford to keep going to school), and 70+ year olds (can't afford to retire anymore).

Great idea; thanks Republicans. Take money away from husbands and wives so the family is forced to have their children take a job. Making Great Depression great again. ☹️

Are you effing kidding? Let's set up some heavy duty work camps for those effers

Maybe they’re not aware that children aren’t supposed to be left unattended until age 12. Who’s going to cover the cost of childcare?

They're trying to roll back child labor laws.

JFC, people, it's 80 hours a MONTH. Do some of your own GD thinking and research.

Donald Trump and his Maga coalition could care less about family….not less is their families. As far as they’re concerned they’re entitled to it all.

They sure took some cues from Germany again, this time the so-called "ALG2" (Unemployment Benefit/Welfare 2) - which was introduced by the Social Democrats under Schröder (now known as one of Putler's BFF); approved by the Union, Greens AND the Unions. ALG2 was slashing a lot of benefits...

...especially from the long term unemployed, forcing them basically to accept any kind of job regardless of qualifications, duration of commute and of course the payment which was in many cases barely sufficient to cover the costs of living. Also, extending the range of third parties...

...like parents or partners forced to sustain the unemployed and melting off savings or selling properties. All in all, ALG2 was one of the bigliest tools used to make the poor even poorer without offering any useful help for them. And...the costs of the bureaucracy involved went drastically up.

The effects of ALG2 (which was renamed and slightly modified in 2022) are felt until today. "Fun" fact: until today, there is no decision by the Federal Constitutional Court about the constitutionality of ALG2.

Is that for real? More than 80 hours for week to qualify for food assistance?

>80 hours a week?

It is 80 hours a month, not per week.

Like many others have pointed out, he made a mistake, it's 80 hours per **month** not per week. And per month makes it a bit easier as sometimes there are 5 weeks to a month. (cont.)

HOWEVER, that's not all the requirements, and what funds are given to individuals on those programs are horrifically insufficient. In my home state, it started at around 200$ per month per adult, and was adjusted down based on your income at a pretty steep rate. (cont.)

In 2016, I was making minimum wage at 34 hours a week, and my take home after taxes was less than 200$ each week. And I made too much to qualify for food stamps. And there was no way I was moving up in the world in a *managing* position.

That's a part-time job…. What if there are no jobs in your community? The next option is school - there, you'll find, high interest rates and for-profit schools waiting to wrap you in debt.

Yeah, there are a plethora of issues from top to bottom with the systems in place. And even if you opt for education and getting saddled with debt, you've still got to make money to eat and live, pay for transport, etc. And that's still not considering other ripoffs, like unpaid internships.

What, unpaid internships!!!!!!!

That should encourage the baby boom they're trying to force upon vulnerable Americans.

This is called “the break,” create obstacles so receipants can not succeed. They know this is an impossible benchmark to meet. Low-skilled jobs are part-time bc employers don’t want to pay benefits.You would need to cobble multiple jobs together. Manage transportation, childcare, and more.

All these politicians claim to be Christians knowning that they are intentionally creating policies that will starve and kill people. For the purpose of giving tax breaks to the super wealthy.Their churches should excommunicate them.

This isn't new, it's just way worse now that pschopaths are running the country. www.npr.org/2023/03/17/1...

But then you go to work for big 🔵 🟦 store or 🎯 & they require you to have open availability (6am-11p) while working part-time effectively barring you from having an additional job. 🫤

this guy either does not know the current law or is this a typo or intentional error to whip us into a frenzy It's 80 hrs a MONTH www.fns.usda.gov/snap/work-re...

80 plus hours is ridiculous for anyone.

80 hours?? Full time is considered 40 hours!

80 a month.

Working 80 hours for 6 days a week would mean they would work approximately 14 hours per day. If you add in breaks that’s almost 15 hours. Assuming commuting is 30 minutes each way that just leave a person 8 hours. Not enough to cook, see to kids or anything else. The slaves had it better.

16 hour days working & still unable to feed your family should be all the justification necessary to demand doubling minimum wage & and establishing universal basic income.

OMG

NOW is it time for Rebellion? Nothing else will stop them. Not courts, not corp media, not speechifying; prudent Rebellion. Picket venues where the Filthy Rich gather. Pressure them and maga churches until they condemn Trump’s insanity. Too-late is not far off. Marchons! Marchons!

Wait a damn second...80 hours!!??? If you can't feed your family with a normal 40 hour work week something is very wrong. But 80 hours???? That's insanity.

A lot of people can’t feed a family if they are working 40 hours a week. The minimum wage hasn’t gone up in decades. When the minimum wage goes up, all wages go up. Right now, prices are going up and not minimum wage. And if your going to say a minimum wage isn’t meant to be a living wage, ur wrong

Minimum wage was never supposed to be a living wage, it was a "starting" wage for folks just entering the work force. Funny tho how congress votes to raise their salaries almost annually but they have NEVER raised the minimum wage...weird huh?

Google works for all. Don’t let the ultra wealthy convince you otherwise. They are not your friends. They just want to exploit you

How does someone survive working 80 hours/week?????

It's per month. Original post was inaccurate.

Makes sense

Pretty sure you can work 0 hours a week and get SNAP.

Don't think he's right about the work requirement for SNAP. And there are other programs for kids to get meals.

But what about the disabled? I can't work due to a broken neck. (Cervical fracture) I go hungry very often.

Oh, of course you don't matter. A billionaire can't exploit your labour for their next Lake Como mansion, so you're just a waste now, donchaknow? Jokes aside, I'm sorry you're going through this. You deserve so much better.

Thank you for your kind words.

In the bill, wage earners making $15,000 or less are taxed at 75% by 2031.

I'm guessing they won't be assisting with daycare either as many localities do not permit children under 10 or 12 to be left unsupervised.

> 80 hours a week, we call that slavery around here. How many hours a week do the dear politicians work ? I bet it's less than 40. Just sitting there, pushing yes/no buttons that end people's life. The GOP is not the party of family values, it's the party of cruelty.

And never seeing your parents as they are working 80hours per week=lacking adult role models=kids more likely to fail in life.

The cruelty is the point

By 8 years old, they should have one of those factory jobs, earning their own way.

I heard the strawberry fields need workers. Maybe that's what the kids are for.🤬🤦‍♀️

This is to force women back into the homes. Wake up, women. They dump the childcare and elderly care on you, then won't even consider it respectable work. You will lose access to the workplace, which provides knowledge and agency.

Its actually 80 hours/month iirc

ah. i see they want to reintroduce slavery.

We’re starving kids in Gaza. Might as well do it here too. There is nothing to low for the ultra wealthy.

Do they mean 2 parents at 40 hours each? Because 80 hours per person will just put people in the hospital.

Only if they have healthcare.

Yes exactly.

80 hours at minimum wage should be just under 2 grand a week .

The fact that people working 80 hours a week on minimum wage still need food assistance tells me that minimum wage isnt even half of what it should be.

I agree with your point but the post should say 80 hours a month.

Decades ago, scientists proved that workers work at peak efficiency and capacity at under 40 hours a week. More than that and workers burn out too fast leading to high turn over rates which are very expensive for companies in various ways.

👀 And you'd be right. Wages here suck ass. It's basically, all of your money goes to bills, rent and barely enough for food. Can't have hobbies. Saving up is a nightmare.

And wanting more babies?

No current law….this is drafted only and there is no way it is passing the SENATE…keep in mind both House and SENATE HAVE TO PASS AND THEN SIGNED BY FELON FOR IT TO BECOME A LAW Senate must have 60 votes

I get 70 hrs, which is already appalling. But where are we supposed to put in the extra 10 to make 80hrs?

How many states passed the law that if you're on a relief program when you win the lottery, they have a right to seize your winnings????

Factory jobs for the older kids.

It’s 80 hr per MONTH for SNAP. Not per week.

Things are way too difficult for so many people

👍

They want everyone out of work homeless and starving and when everyone doesn’t want themselves and their families to die they’ll do whatever is necessary. There will protected siloes of the worthy, autogenocide outside them, and well funded paramilitaries hunting people in the chaos w/ martial law..

Couple that with student loan wage garnishment, 1/5th of Americans either no longer getting social security, the tariff war causing a cascade of layoffs and unemployment, purging the federal government. While funneling money to the super rich with only spending going towards the military and police!

The rest of this year is going to get so dark and hot. If you can leave you should. If you can’t, the planning stage is almost over. Find a holdout, prepare to be able to protect yourselves and your loved ones. Stay out of thunderdome. Good ppl killing good ppl for a chance to save their family.

Eighty hours? But yeah, total hypocrites.

Obviously, members of Congress have never been hungry😡😡😡

Shame. Who’s ready for a general strike?

Rather cruel

Somehow it’s telling, in the US one needs to work 80 hrs just to survive, in New Zealand it’s 29 (and we range somewhere in the middle of developed nations). And no, it’s not us treating the US unfairly, it may be our penguins though 🙄

It's per month, not week. Original post was inaccurate.

If they pass anything that says dependents are only 7 and under they will also use that to take away child tax credit….

Where do they get the >80 bit? It's actually 30-40, depending on the state.

With Child Labor Laws reversed, a 7yr old needs to start pulling their own weight.

Too sad for words.

Hold up. there are 168 hours in a week. we spend 56 of those hours asleep. we spend 21 hours eating meals. the average American commutes like an hour back and forth, so that's 14 hours. that leaves... exactly 80 hours. that's 12 hours each day. exactly half a day.

I think it’s 80 hrs a month

But then they arrest you for leaving your child home alone.

“You’re eight years old, when are you going to get off your ass and get a job?”

The company’s that have employees that even qualify for food stamps should have to pay for them. These companies are playing the system not the working poor they’re employing for poverty wages.

I have worked 80 hours per week. It was a truly stupid thing to do. I'll never do it again. No human should ever be made to work 80 hours a week at anything.

because pubescent teens eat so little as their bodies and brains fully develop what a complete maroon

The world is only for the right people The rest of you are just here to serve them

i serve only Cthulhu the true savior of the world who will be reborn and destroy it and leave it in burning waste

Mighty Christian of these fine folks.

This is why they want to get rid of child labor laws. After second grade you get a job.

If you are going to post something that criticizes a Bill, at least make your post accurate. It is NOT 80 hours a week! How ridiculous is that. It is 80 hours a MONTH. He needs to edit, or repost this.

They aren't even Americans anymore

I'm confused by this. You have to work over 80hrs to qualify? I thought they looked at your actual income, not considering your hours worked

The requirements are ridiculous. But not 80 hours a WEEK, yet…give them time. Read the last line on 3rd pic. You can lose benefits forever if you go out of compliance at some point. We only tolerate someone going hungry to a point apparently. www.fns.usda.gov/snap/work-re...

The SECOND set of compliance rules if you are starving but are “able bodied” … But hey, you might only have to wait every 3 years to get help if you are on starvations wages to get help. You can wait to eat for THREE YEARS right?

Another way to give more to the rich - as they can pay workers less. And this may work for a time…until we revolt.

Is that a new policy? Because wouldn't working 80 hours/wk put more money in your pocket? I always had to have next to no hours and as a result, no money, in order to qualify for gov't assistance. If you work 80 hours and still don't qualify... something is really, really wrong.

Meanwhile the Rich pay no Taxes....This will not Be forgiven...EVER...

80 hrs./month, but still.

Congressional Republicans are devils.

Selfish deplorables

Ok, sure. So now that Trump has basically made me unemployable as a “DEI hire”, how am I gonna work? I’ve been looking for a steady gig for over two years. But no one wants to hire a woman nearing 60.

Personally, I'd love it if someone older applied where I worked. Apparently we don't pay enough and attract kids younger than me who are supposed to be working their way thru seven years of fast food or retail so that they can actually appreciate the dumb office job.

New minimum wage factory jobs coming in fast from China! Won't be union--outlawing that soon. No affordable housing nearby either but if they outlaw homelessness, that'll fix it, right? But hey you'll soon get Social Secu...ohwait...nevermind. Cutting that too. Damn. Guess you just have to die. 🤷‍♀️

SCOTUS pretty much already outlawed homelessness last year, the same time as the immunity decision came down. Media didn’t give it any coverage at all. Basically gave local authorities broad power to sweep the homeless off the streets. To where? 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I know, I was appalled at how little attention. Now Newsom 🙄 is helping them out. Maddening.

@governor.ca.gov is a scumbag traitor.

Exactly...to where??? I would absolutely LOVE to see some of these rich privileged people last one night on the streets. It makes my blood boil!!!

You mean like assembling iPhones? (which wouldn't happen anytime sooner than 5-7 years) Sorry, but that takes educated, schooled people to do!

It was facetious. 🙂

THE PEOPLE NEED TO RISE...FORM UNIONS REGARDLESS. THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BACK!!

I truly feel for you. This Administration couldn't care less who suffers, so ling as the rich get richer. Something needs to change...and fast! America is long down big time!!

According to what I just found it’s 20 hours a week to get good benefits and in some cases 30, not 80.

80 hrs per month

This does not seem plausible. Where did this citation come from ?

The part getting me most pissed off right now is the mainstream/corporate media REFUSES to call them out on this stuff. Republicans in Congress should be chased around the Capitol with microphones & asked continually about ALL their hypocritical BS. No rest! That's why Indy media is so hot now. 👏👏👏

Agreed! Accountability. There is ZERO right now.

80 hours/week. I can’t even get my current job to give me 40 hours most weeks.

80 hrs a week? I bet that guy doesn’t even do 10 a week.

🤢🤮👎🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊

MAGA slavery

Note that you *can* actually work for 80 hours a week and still not be able to afford enough food?

In America, to be clear. Only in America (the richest, most powerful country in history).

And I was brainwashed since childhood via propaganda: The "Greatest Country On Earth"

As an Australian, I will quietly and respectfully concur.

We all were...Embarrassed disabled american Veteran. The lowercase "a" on the country is on purpose. We don't deserve the respect of a capital letter.

Now we're talking armed revolt, among other tactics.

Its 80 hours a month - not per week

It's a race to the bottom. On the other hand, a race to the TOP could be achieved with a UBI.

80 hours a week? That is just shy of 12 hours every single day. My children are grown. Does that mean, at close to 60, I’d be expected to work those hours? That is downright cruel and Dickensian.

So awful.

I bet that’s 80 hours a month.

Once they are over 8yrs old, they can start working the night shift at the local factories...

Wait, you have to work EIGHTY HOURS A WEEK and STILL NOT MAKE ENOUGH TO FEED YOUR CHILD ? And that's ALLOWED?

So, FL’s new minimum working age requirement will be …8? Can they also work past midnight on school nights? 🤦🏼‍♀️

Please just delete your post, Mr. Takei.

Rage farming alert. It's 20 hours per week, 80 hours per MONTH.
