The good news is that his presidential aspirations are toast.

Good. Newsom is a piece of shit.

Wait, she works, still can't make it, and you do not think she should get help?

Something tells me she may be eating her entire paycheck in McDonalds...

He wasn't lying. He IS an idiot. He has no clue.

Yeah sort of reminds me of Sarah Palin after her run for VP. It was just like, holy shit, how is this person a politician. Frankly Kamala is in a free fall to obscurity as well. Just shows you how thoughtless that ticket was. Hey guys, let's just pick a black women and pair her with an elderly man. It's worked before!!!!

She wants SNAP to feed her fat ass for free.

Also, her jobs suck.

She's doing work that is not meant to be work that supports a family of five.

But she's too lazy and stupid to change, and she made the cardinal sin of apparently having all them children without a man around to support her.

#1 ticket to poverty - children outside of a married relationship.

This is her job. A "bus monitor."

Let me be the first to tell you that she's not actually working full time.

A bus monitor, typically on a school bus, is a secondary chaperone to the driver, ensuring the safety and well-being of passengers during transit. Their responsibilities include assisting students with boarding and exiting, enforcing safety rules, and providing support in case of emergencies. They also help maintain order and ensure students are seated while the bus is in motion.

Key Responsibilities of a Bus Monitor:

• Safety and Supervision:
  Ensuring students are safely on and off the bus, seated during travel, and following safety rules.
• Emergency Preparedness:
  Knowing and executing emergency evacuation procedures, and assisting the driver in case of accidents or other incidents.
• Student Support:
  Helping students with disabilities or special needs, and communicating with parents, teachers, or other staff.
• Maintaining Order:
  Supervising student behavior to prevent conflicts and maintain a positive environment on the bus.
• Route Knowledge:
  Familiarity with bus routes and stops, and potentially assisting in transferring students to the correct bus or school.
• Communication:
  Communicating with parents, guardians, teachers, and the bus driver about student behavior, attendance, or any incidents.

A SECONDARY CHAPERONE!

She doesn't do a job that has any value. That's why she makes no money.

I didn't even know that job existed. When she said her job my mind just scrolled over it and assumed she was a bus driver.

Would it be any better if she was a bus driver?

That job is for retired folks who are collecting social security and want a little enhancement to their income, not prime age persons who should be working hard to support themselves and apparently 3-4 children.

She's a failure and it's not on anyone else. And it might be a dead end for her now because she's gone down a road through that has left her unable to make meaningful changes due to her weight (she couldn't possibly do anything that is physically demanding at this point), her presumable lack of education or experience, and the ball and chains that she has to feed when they get home from aftercare every day.

Listen, there are arguments out there for why snap may be necessary.

This woman is the last person who should be the posterchild for it.

It's a necessary job at least. Like someone has to drive the buses our children ride in. It's kind of an important position from a safety aspect. And so yeah I do think it's a bit better. I'd put it more on the level of most driving positions. You need a special license and set of skills to be able to do the job.

Now bus monitor? That sounds like a made up position. Like something you tell one of the kids on the bus, today you get to be bus monitor. It's literally a job that a child could handle. It's the equivalant to Walmart Greeter before they started making the Greeter's do shakedowns and checking receipts. It's basically a zero value position that you let someone do to feel like they have some value in life still.

Honestly, the little things a bus monitor would do, is what I thought Bus Drivers just did as part of their job description. Hell as far as I know they do where I live.

It's because we live in a world where we don't think anyone should feel shame. Shame used to be a motivator. You feel shame for the way you look, motivates you to fix it for example. But now you're not allowed to feel shamed, you're supposed to be celebrated for whatever it is. And so the motivation to change or improve is gone.

Again, my heart still goes out to the children who have no means to fix their situation and haven't put themselves in the situation in the first place. But the parents most times did make choices to lead themselves down the life path that they are in. And a little bit of lacking or not having is ok. The idea is it will motivate them to fix their situation.

That’s a low bar, my friend. Have you heard him speak? People lacking tongues are more eloquent.
