For her part, Hashmi has relied on some ads (though little compared to her warchest), and group events with the top of the ticket.

  38. And while I am on a rant about northern WI, let me tell you a story about food stamps.

    *************

    While visiting son on his farm a few years back, we were all out picking beans in one of the fields. son, me, my wife, grandkids, and three hired hands my son employed for the summer . They hired hands were getting paid $20 an hour. (at LEAST $800/wk, $3,200/mo)

    They were students (nice kids) at (kinda pricey) Ashland College, but stuck around there during the summer to work instead of going back home (wherever that was) at to go together with other college kids to rent an apartment and share cost.

    Most Ashland students come from families that are very well off and that make well over $100,000.

    So while we were all picking beans, one of the hired hands tells the other two that he is now getting food stamps. He gave them all the INS and outs of how they took can go get food stamps. What to write when they fill out the forms, what to say, what not to say.

    These college kids did not NEED food stamps or other SNAP benefits. They did not have any children living with them. But they COULD get the food stamps and so they DID.

    And people use them to buy lottery tickets (not directly, but convenience store owners find a way), cigarettes (same system), soda, candy, etc.

    In my view, food stamps should only be used to buy real food and should not be used for snacks, soda, candy, etc.

    This could be done easily by only allowing food stamps to be traded for food with certain barcodes.

    Walt-

    I think the idea of bilingual road signs is pretty cool. I love history, especially the early history of man and linguistics. This sounds like a clever and benign way to keep a language and an entire culture from fading out. Places like Wales or parts of Ireland use both English and Welsh or Gaelic on the signs. That practice has helped keep those ancient languages alive.

    Seeing that indigenous language right next to English gives it legitimacy and makes sure it’s seen every single day, which is a big deal for keeping history and heritage vibrant.

    As long as it doesn’t interfere with safety, I’d say its pretty harmless and even interesting.

Most of the weightings seem ok, maybe a tad bit too male, possibly balanced by being a little heavy on college grads (48% in the LV compared to 41.8% of the state population; the raw sample had it right on the money). Interesting tidbit is that this sample blames Republicans for the shutdown 40-32, with 25% saying both and 3% undecided. Not as big as some other polls suggested a few weeks ago. Six percent of Trump voters opt for Span, 2% of Harris voters for Sears; I wonder if that small segment suggests a slight uptick in the AA vote for Sears?

    You would think that % of population of a state getting SNAP would be pretty similar to % of people in that state living in poverty. YOU WOULD BE WRONG. While MOST states have only a point or so difference in the two rates, there are some states that are out of whack.

    STATE / % of SNAP Households / Poverty rate in state

    OR……………..24.9%………………………..12.2%

    MA…………….24.2…………………………..10.2

    IL……………….20.9…………………………..11.6

    CA………………22.8………………………….12

    RI……………….20.3…………………………..10.8

    HA ……………..17.5………………………….10.1

    PA……………….20.8…………………………12

    NY……………….21…………………………..14.7

    Other states whose % of SNAP household is at least 50% higher than that state’s poverty rate include NM, OK, NV, MI, FL, ME, DE, WA, DE, CT, VT, CO (mostly BLUE states)

  103. Tina,

    As I stated a day or so ago, I was torn between predicting the Dems would end their shutdown before SNAP benefits ceased, or if they would continue it to hope it would be a positive impact for them on election day–and then end their foolishness.
