It’s not welfare when Republicans do it, it’s freedom investments.

As I understand it, the rationale here in these people is something along the lines of “having to accept charity like this left me feeling humiliated, so we should get rid of it.” They never offer alternatives, but I guess the idea is that these even more desperate people will then accept WHATEVER employment they can possibly find to avoid literally starving in the streets. It all seems to come back to the idea they have that most human beings are only worth the amount of manual labor that can be wrung out of them and anything that stands in the way of extracting that is holding back progress for the “real” people.

He also blamed immigrants for his mother’s heroin addiction instead of dealing with the fact that his mother stole patient drugs and was fired because of it.
The JD Vance character is maladaptive daydreaming writ large. He’s a conniving, weaselly, pudgy loser who’s super pissed that being Theil’s pet still doesn’t make people like him.
