The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in a late-night Saturday memo, also threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not comply with the government's new orders.
so what is the purpose of this? Besides the obvious “evilness”. Is it to better control the masses? Or retaliation for protesting? For force people to get a second or third job to say he is creating jobs? What is the logic behind this?
It’s a tactic to get the Dems, who actually give a shit about starving children, to fold and allow the Republicans to take away our already shit healthcare and to protect pedophiles and child traffickers.
Would be a shame if the starving masses and the farmers with produce rotting in their fields got together and realised that this administration is the cause of all their problems…
Would be nice, sure. Unfortunately, the Republican propaganda machine has spent the last 3-decades brainwashing those farmers into believing that cities are Detroit-in-Robocop-level crime scenes that are beyond repair, and anyone with pink hair is gonna turn them gay, to believe anything but what the propaganda machine says is the root cause of their problems.
They are holding the most vulnerable Americans hostage in the hopes that it will convince the democrats to allow them to be hurt in a different way, by agreeing to the proposed budget.
But most importantly, they are also trying to extend the duration of the shutdown, while making it seem like they aren’t the ones doing it. So the deal they are offering has to stay something that the democrats would never agree to…
So they also benefit from anything other than that being what is in the news, but they have lots of practice making sure the news is talking about stupid stuff instead of important stuff.
As long as the government is shut down, the vote to release the Epstein documents can’t happen. Currently if it happened, it would pass. That will be devastating not to just trump, but a large percentage of rich republicans, in and out of government. (As well as a small percentage of rich democrats) so they are just waiting until the situation changes enough that they think a vote would go their way.
And while that does seem both comically evil and too simple to possibly be what it is all about… or wait… does it still seem too evil and simple to be the real plan?

Power. This administration wants so badly to go to war with the American people.
Hungry people can’t think. Hungry people can’t fight. Hungry people eventually stop being a barrier to power.
Same with the sick.
They really don’t have an end goal beyond that. They want to take what they please, and enjoy killing some people in the process.

im pretty sure animals are more dangerous when theyre hungry/starving
That’s a good point, but humans are basically stupid animals.
You can predict them to do something unpredictable

One of the best TL;DR’s on our current situation that I have seen.
Ooo hadn’t thought of the job creation angle. Though I assume those are part time jobs. Do they count those when computing employment numbers?
Do they even plan on releasing those any more?
They do if you’re trying to make it look like job creation is up
