California bad. Me state good. *grunts*

Yes you're right.

But here are some humble facts about our inferior state:

We are the 5th largest economy in the world, and that's comparing it to other countries . We run on such a high surplus, we provide food assistance to anyone, no proof required. Other states have rejected the affordable care act but with Covered California, the state will either subsidize your insurance, or give free insurance if you are at poverty level.

There are states that send their "illegals" here in busses thinking they're getting the better of us because we are a sanctuary state. We feed and house these poor immigrants and are grateful to have them. Most are families looking for refuge, escaping horrible, violent conditions in their own countries. We provide them with legal representation and help them apply for asylum. In turn they become good, tax-paying citizens. We at glad to have them, because other states won't take care of them like we do. People are not illegal. This earth belongs to us all. They are merely undocumented .

So much more. I'd encourage you to listen to this interview, conducted by FOX NEWS to further hear how bad it is. Here's my well-despised and incompetent governor, Gavin Newsom.

This is so fake facts on the food stamp situation. ID is absolutely required first in all of California! It doesn't matter what your situation is. Anyone's application will be denied without identification. And identification requires a birth certificate if you have never had any type of US identification.
@DeWayfarer Both me and my nephew applied within the last month for calfresh and we received monthly benefits without needing any proof of anything. My three nieces got it, without providing documentation while they were on school. I know many others who are on calfresh and have ebt cards.

None of us needed ID. All you have to do is call them, answer questions about your situation and if you qualify, you can pick up your ebt card the same day, or next day.

I will never say anything here that I don't have first hand experience with.

@TheFlippantSide while I being born here and a vet had show identification and a birth certificate!

Get real! And I nearly got turned down! Because the application wasn't complete.
@DeWayfarer You choose to believe me or not. I won't argue because I know better. If you need help applying for calfresh, let me know. I can help you. What I won't do is engage in negativity and doubt and be called a liar. My grandfather was a vet who fought at the tail end of WWII and fought in the Korean War. I had to fight the VA for his benefits.
@DeWayfarer what makes you think I'm not part white?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@TheFlippantSide I got accepted. Through the help of another DPSS agency.

Yet without their help I would have been turned down! I got the notification that I would have been turned down!

DPSS has several branches.

@TheFlippantSide I never said what you were.

It doesn't matter what you are.
@DeWayfarer Your experience is your experience, but not everyone's and certainly not California policy. We are fellow Americans. Can you open your heart here, if I open mine?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@TheFlippantSide I got the notification to be turned down is why!
@DeWayfarer I believe you. But try to believe me. I'm sorry you went through that. My grandfather was turned down for a lot of things too
@TheFlippantSide Glad we cleared things up. I need you on my side. I got your back, if you've got mine. 💜

@DeWayfarer

What's wrong with requiring identification?????
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@pdockal nothing wrong!
@pdockal how many homeless people do you know who have IDs?
@DeWayfarer Yes and no, my wonderful friend. What about the homeless? We are libs. You and I know they deserve to eat too
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@TheFlippantSide please don't go there. I have been homeless many times. I did without such aid.
pdockal · 56-60, M
@TheFlippantSide

Not the point
I din't believe the system works to actually help people the way it is
Most citizens have records somewhere
I believe everybody born in USA is still issued SS#
Which never expires or goes away
@DeWayfarer Yes, but I wish you would have gotten the help you needed. You are Wiccan and I know much of that faith is about love and generosity. I even had a friend who was a Satanist who spoke about love. Be here with me and we can both show the world our hearts. I know yours is pure and kind. The homeless need our help, especially yours, because you've been there. 💜
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@pdockal that is where the problem begins. Because you must get your birth certificate.
@pdockal I come here to spread love and not argue. Believe what you will but you'll never change my heart. Yes, compassion is the point of everything.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@TheFlippantSide there are many forms of wicca. Some are more warrior oriented.
@DeWayfarer But even warriors can have a kind heart, no? I can see yours for sure.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@TheFlippantSide yes, they gave me a family when I had none. Yet the differences are vaste. Look at the Celtics of the BCE eras.


They were the Romans gauls!
@DeWayfarer See, there you are. I see your bodhisattva heart. 💜

@TheFlippantSide

Your choice to do what you feel is right
Doesn't make it right
We're all entitled to our opinions
However when your choices negatively affect me then i have a right to question and rely to your posts

Give a man a fish he eats a meal but teach a man to fish hell always be able to help himself

God helps those who help themselves

@pdockal please, I could have points with this as well. Not the place to do so. You're yelling fire in a crowded theater.
