The problem is either paternalism is good or it's bad. If it's good then it's good regardless of the income type. Does the programmer guzzling down energy drinks all week without a sip of water harm his body anymore or less than the person who does that on SNAP? If he doesn't the why limit yourself to SNAP? I'm fine with some common sense guardrails to protect against non sensical decisions like you can't spend SNAP on gold flaked desserts, but my philosophy is SNAP isn't there to teach the poor the enlightened way of eating, it's to let the poor enjoy food in the same sense as the normal person and that includes having a Red Bull or pre heated meal every once and a while.

Clearly programmers earned their right to pound Red Bull by being born to a family that could afford to send them to college

Regarding the Astros player who got suspended 5 games for a racial slur, but not until next season: How Racism Made Me a Dodgers Fan

I'm not plugged in to baseball enough to know if it's typical to suspend someone at the start of next season instead of the current postseason but I am quite persuaded by this author's argument that that was some bull****

Defense lawyers say the confession of Warren Demesme, 24, in a New Orleans rape case should be suppressed because he asked for counsel during an October 2015 interrogation. He told investigators, “Why don’t you just give me a lawyer dog ...”

Louisiana’s Supreme Court allowed the confession. The majority issued no written ruling, but in a separate opinion Justice Scott Crichton said Demesme’s “equivocal reference to a ‘lawyer dog’” didn’t merit stopping interrogation.

What is the legal justification for banning a bucket of roasted chicken from KFC while allowing a grocery store rotisserie chicken?

what is the legal justification for banning kfc?

It's nowhere near as good as Popeye's.

The same legal justification for banning paying drywall contractors with food stamps? It's for groceries.

I’ll need to see some of this “chicken”

A scary thought.

What happens if Mueller proves that Trump colluded and nothing happens?

I’m not sure "it’s for groceries" is a legal justification. Can council cite precedent?

Uh what in the world are you babbling about? I describing the current rules for food stamps. The program's intent was always for the food to be spent on groceries, at grocery stores, not restaurants. Which is where the "no prepared food" rule comes in.

Oh, so you can’t buy frozen pizzas then, didn’t realize.

Yu Darvish, the Dodger pitcher who was the "target" of the racial slur, was gracious in how he responded to the incident. While he called the gesture disrespectful and thought that some punishment was warranted, he added that he hoped the incident could be used as a learning opportunity and counted on everyone to respond with "big love" rather than anger.

Commissioner Manfred cited Darvish's response as a factor in why he decided to postpone the Astros player's suspension until the beginning of next season.

Every action or non action is a learning opportunity. We learned something about the league's values from this, no doubt.

changed my mind when I saw the other breed. More public defender-y

ICE keeps saying the same thing, "We're just enforcing the laws" but they never explained exactly how this girl was a threat.
