mandatory drug testing for welfare.

which is why the thing to do is make a big batch on your day off and freeze most of it so you can heat it up quick on those days when you're just too damn tired to cook.

This works remarkably well with pancakes. Just have to be sure to put them in a sealed bag or they tend to dry out and are hard as a rock even after heated....


Pancakes, with chocolate chips...

How about lack of a cooking tools? If you can't afford to buy rice, you probably can't afford the $800 stove to cook it on too. There's lots of people who just have a microwave to cook with.

If you can't afford to buy rice, you have no money and are starving to death.

A slow cooker is 10-20 dollars.

And if one is that poor they are beyond food assistance and in need of more help to get them back on their feet.

But usually a person on welfare is being assisted and not totally supported by the system. Yes there are people who can tweak the system and abuse it to the point where they don't have to work a day in their lives on it, but for most the food, rent and energy assistance is just that.

Assistance.

And never underestimate the local thrift stores or Habitat for Humanity stores.

One can usually find a slow cooker there for $10 or less.

Slow cookers are actually quite cheap. There's a pretty fancy one we have our eye on at the local Costco for a whopping $30.

BUSTED: Federal court finds the pee-in-the-cup law to be unconstitutional. Woops. Oh well, it was costing the taxpayers money anyhow.

[Andara Bledin]

And so, we can mark yet another colossal waste of taxpayer dollars by the government.

The worst part about all of this is that despite the fact that it's gone down in flames as being in violation of the 4th Amendment, that won't stop other anti-poor bigots from enacting the same exact laws, and then spending thousands of dollars of money they claim they don't have defending them only to have them stricken in exactly the same manner down the road.

I've been watching this sort of bullshit for some time with the anti-gamer legislation states keep trying to push through. >_<
