Darrell Madden+FollowEBT shouldn’t be paying for full party cartsIn Brooklyn, I was behind a woman with a cart full of party items: a three-layer cake, candies, chips, soda. I assumed she’d pay with a credit card. Nope — she swiped EBT. I’m not against celebrating kids’ birthdays. But my neighbor can barely afford a $5 cupcake for her daughter’s birthday. Is SNAP supposed to fight hunger… or fund parties? #SNAPTalk #ShowUsTheBill #NYCLife #WelfareDebate #TaxpayerQuestions00Share
Amy Sandoval+FollowI Pay $2,100 Rent… and My Landlord Says Immigrants Cause High PricesI’m a nurse living legally in Queens. My rent jumped from $1,850 to $2,100 this year. But the worst part? My landlord said: “This is happening because immigrants like you drive prices up.” I PAY the rent — yet I’m blamed for it? Some American tenants nodded along. “They come here and everything gets expensive.” No — landlords raise prices. Not immigrants working night shifts to survive. #HousingCrisis #RentTooHigh #ImmigrantReality #NYCLife01Share
