Why wont this #SuperMajority party legislate a #Tax on #GasSuperProfits when the passing of the bill is handed to the Govt on a silver platter? All that is required to fix the budget, to provide the required #SafetyNet social services and more is a #SimpleYES and it’s done. THe chances of those progressive legislations being overturned by the opposition is NIL That is unless #SpinelessAlbo persists in his #HateCampaign against the #Greens which would effectively feed a #rebellion at the next election leading to unpredictable results. I’m stupid, and I can see that coming Albo! Wasting the opportunities given to you by the electorate to shape an Australia that cares for all Australians.
“Speaking on the Australia Institute’s Follow the Money podcast, Greens leader, Senator Larissa Waters, said the party’s new “Tax the 1%” campaign was aimed at securing major reforms that target ultra-wealthy Australians and gas exporters.” (Source: https://thepoint.com.au/news/260512-if-we-dont-act-well-end-up-like-the-us-greens-leader-larissa-waters-calls-for-tax-on-the-1)

How many critical services are tied to abominations like #reCAPTCHA and #SafetyNet API? #Banking, #Healthcare, #eCommerce, #PublicServices, #PublicTransport, #RideHailing and even #WeatherServices. What are the implications of every citizen having to seek permissions from a trillion-dollar MNC to access any of them?
Check out #PRISM to see who Google silently shares this data with. #Google is a serious #state_sponsored #ThreatActor against individuals & national #sovereignty.

How the American right managed to convince itself that the programs to alleviate poverty are responsible for the consequences of poverty will someday be studied as a notorious mass illusion. In the meantime, real children — kids who get earaches and like Big Bird and are crabby when they aren’t fed and whose eyes widen in wonder when they meet Santa Claus — will pay the price for this pernicious folly.

Asking for help is awkward.

Does Android's SafetyNet actually make it safer for apps to run?
Currently have a #complaint at #kifid (instititute for complaints against financial service providers in the Netherlands) against #revolut because it doesn't work on #degoogled phones. They claim it makes it more secure. Can anybody point me to a study or expert opinion on the #security benefits of #safetynet and how it protects #android phones?
My inkling about googled OEM phones is this:
- many are old
- many aren't receiving patches anymore
- many receive security patches late (weeks or months)And regarding degoogled phones:
- they are more likely to get security patches more quickly
- they are often maintained longer than OEM phones
- certain ROMs #calyxos #grapheneos (to a certain degree #eos) are actually more secure than stock OEMs due to either
* security focus
* faster security patches
* being limited to relockable bootloaders -
What the data says about food stamps in the U.S. – Pew Research Center
Read our research on: Economy & Work, Middle East, and Donald Trump
What the data says about food stamps in the U.S.
A sign in the window of a Miami grocery store shows it accepts payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)Even before large pieces of the federal government shut down in October 2025, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP – sometimes called the food stamp program – was in for some big changes.
The tax, spending and policy bill passed by Congress earlier this year expanded work requirements for SNAP, tightened eligibility rules, imposed new cost-sharing obligations on states and made other changes to the program. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the changes will reduce federal spending on SNAP by $186.7 billion over the next decade.
But the 43-day shutdown created further challenges for the program, which helps nearly 42 million Americans put food on the table. While October benefits were paid in full and on time, November’s payments got caught up in a tangle of lawsuits, conflicting court rulings and short-term, state-level fixes. The law reopening the government funds SNAP through September 2026, the end of the current fiscal year.
Here’s a closer look at the food stamp program, based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (whose Food and Nutrition Service administers SNAP), the Census Bureau and other sources.
- How many Americans use food stamps?
- How has the number of food stamp recipients changed over time?
- Who is eligible for food stamps?
- What work requirements are there for receiving food stamps?
- What do we know about food stamp recipients in the U.S.?
- How much do food stamp recipients get each month?
- Where is food stamp usage highest and lowest?
- What can you buy with food stamps? What can’t you buy?
- Where can people use food stamps? Where do they use them most frequently?
- How much does the federal government spend on food stamps each year?
- How has the cost of the food stamp program changed over time?
- Why are they called “food stamps,” anyway?
How we did this
Pew Research Center conducted this analysis to learn more about the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The nation’s largest food assistance program, SNAP became entangled in the 43-day budget standoff between congressional Democrats, Republicans and the Trump administration.
Our main data source was the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers SNAP and other food assistance programs. We supplemented the FNS data with data from the Census Bureau’s Survey of Income and Program Participation, which focuses on the demographic and other characteristics of people and households who receive various forms of federal assistance. We also used the Census Bureau’s population and household estimates in some of our analyses. Finally, we obtained government expenditure data for other federal assistance programs from the Office of Management and Budget.
Our analysis of SNAP participation rates in states and territories used data on SNAP recipients for May 2025 and Census Bureau population estimates for July 2024, the most recent available. For Guam and the Virgin Islands, which the census did not publish estimates of, we used 2024 population estimates from the CIA World Factbook.
How many Americans use food stamps?
The numbers vary from month to month. But in May 2025, the most recent month with available figures, 41.7 million people in 22.4 million households received SNAP benefits. That works out to nearly 1 in every 8 people in the country.
On average, 42.4 million people in 22.7 million households received monthly SNAP benefits through the first eight months of the 2025 fiscal year (October 2024 to May 2025).
SNAP operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Virgin Islands. A separate program provides nutrition assistance grants to Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Editor’s Note: The full online article linked below is long and great. Contains multiple looks at the SNAP and hunger and safety net matter. In addition, based on the report data, I had my AI partners (ChatGPT & Google Gemini) prepare two (2) images to illustrate the data. They are posted below. –DrWeb

I’ve reached my “safety net” for my #prescription #meds. ($277.20 spending threshold for concession card holders paying for prescriptions.)
For the last couple of months I’ve been paying NOTHING for my meds & won’t need to pay again until next year.

Me parece de risa que las aplicaciones de los bancos (o cualquier otra) te pidan pasar el #SafetyNet. Sin embargo tener el teléfono sin actualizaciones de seguridad desde hace tres años no da ningún problema.
Menuda pantomima y menuda lamida de ojete a Google y los fabricantes de teléfonos.

J'aimerais bien tester e/OS/ mais j'ai trop peur de la compatibilité des applis sur mon téléphone actuel.
J'aurais voulu tenter sur un ancien mais je ne comprends rien aux indicateurs de compatibilité : https://doc.e.foundation/devices/bullhead
Quelqu'un peut m'expliquer c'est que #SafetyNet et #RootBeer et en quoi ça pourrait être bloquant concrètement ?
