I don’t know, when she started going on about her circumstances, it made me kinda want to yell, “Hey lady! You don’t need to trot out any sort of excuses for yourself. The kind of people who have problems with you having foodstamps aren’t going to be any kinder because it’s you, a nice lady from the suburbs.”
Anti-food-stamp people are a lot like anti-abortion people. The only moral use of abortion (or being on food stamps) is going to be their own use of it, because they’re special snowflakes, and can sell out their own morals just this once.
If she was found to be worthy by our flawed, choking bureaucratic structures, then by all means, fuck anybody who would roll their eyes at her.
Additionally, Edina sucks for that reason, amongst many.
Love,
South Minneapolis.
