What a Miserable Woman [View all]

Someone on our local community pages, pointed out how many restaurants in PA, our offering to to help feed those who will not be receiving their snap benefits, and hoped restaurants here would do the same.

A woman actually posted a reply that she saw it as a quote slap in the face to "working people." She went on to say that she was a single mother of two and worked three jobs to keep them fed, and a roof over their heads. That she was taught never to accept government handouts, because that's shameful. She closed by saying, "so where is my free pizza, for actually working."

Was glad to see a lot of people calling her out for being a callous, sanctimonious, and jealous jerk, and defending those in need.

I agreed with the people that posted against her and said we don't know others circumstances. I added that children are going to go hungry too,and they have no say in what their parents or the government do. So even if their parents were "lazy," like the poster claimed that's not their kids' fault so why should they have to starve? What the hell is wrong with people like her?
