As has been well demonstrated, that’s a Republican family value.

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Layla Sayed looks at the effects of the Trump maladministration’s actions on SNAP benefits. Here’s a tiny bit from her article (emphasis added):

Since the bill’s passage, SNAP participation has dropped by 10% across the country. In some states, the effects are amplified. In Arizona, for example, SNAP participation fell by 53%. And in the coming months, those figures are likely to rise.

These statistics are not just numbers — they’re people not being fed.

Before the new law, SNAP helped feed 41.7 million low-income Americans per month, 62% of whom were families with children.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
