@lisaremillard: #affordability #snap #governmentassistance For millions of Americans a full time job isn’t enough to make ends meet anymore. You might be shocked to hear how many Americans are working a full time job at some of the biggest companies in this country and still have to rely on public assistance to survive. This video will explains a new Government Accountability Office report that not only sheds light on how many of these workers rely on government assistance but also which companies they work for.

Capitalism = a few get rich, Communism = nobody gets rich, Democratic Socialism = some people get rich, but nobody is poor. Vote accordingly.

And some of us that need the assistance (like snap benefits to help with groceries) can’t qualify because we make too much, yet with all these price increases I can’t afford the same amount of groceries and have to pick if I pay a bill or get food.

The average salary needed to live comfortably in America ranges from $80,000 to over $100,000 for a single adult, and around $195,000 to $235,000 for a family of four. The 2026 federal poverty guideline is $15,960 for an individual, $27,320 for a family of three, and $33,000 for a family of four and these are numbers that are based on 1963 prices and is adjusted each year based on current inflation but it does not account for modern-day cost of living. So basically most of us just fall in the range of making too little to live comfortably but making too much to get adequate government assistance. 😭

Walmart technically benefits twice because those benefits supplement their workers so Walmart doesn't have to pay a livable wage and then those workers also spend that money at Walmart.

These numbers are really heartbreaking. There was a time when a full time job at Wal-Mart could support a family..

MAGA suddenly doesn’t care about affordability. My MAGA dad: “Well, I have plenty of money to pay more for things anyway.” 🤣

Amazon’s rebuttal is valid. They do generate a TON of jobs, especially in areas like Portland Oregon. That does NOT mean you are going to get a golden wage. It just means you will get a job. The tasks most of those people are doing are repetitive (stocking, etc). They are JOBS, not careers 💯
