If we assume that every unemployed person in the US gets 1.5k per year in food from the government, then it’s about 8,400,000,000$.
So, just the food stamps for all unemployed would cost 4 times of those shell subsidies. And you could argue you’re feeding lazy with that money, while shell subsidies help you stay competitive in a global energy market.
Your argument is both logically flawed, and politically unconvincing. It’s no surprise your conservative uncle will never listen to your argument. Maybe he’s simply dumb and that’s why he votes for trump, but if he wasn’t, he’d quickly figure out that you’re dumb and for sure never spend any more of his time seriously listening to your political arguments.
When you feel like the other side “simply won’t listen”. Look at your pathetic whining. You look like a child who sees an adult eating an ice-cream and throws a tantrum. At no point can you elaborate on either why this is an unfair situation or why would you deserve one.
p.s. I spent the last 3 months blocking communities and individual posters splattering US politics all over lemmy, but it seems even the “queer memes” community is not a safe place from this plague.
So take this well-deserved beating, and please repost it into all other places where you spread your nonsense. I know it feels like everyone agrees with you all the time. But the reason for that is that lemmy is an insane echo-chamber and even the stupidest thing that says “capitalism/republicans bad” is being upvoted to a degree where all other content drowns.
