Obviously the amount of responsibility is up for debate, but addiction to technology and things like tiktok/reels/youtube videos are a huge thing and IMO are going to be the next generations cigarettes. I just don't think it's healthy.

100% we are literally drugging our kids with screens. When a young kid uses screens they have the same dopamine but and withdrawals as Heroin....
Lol they already do. Red states almost have the most citizens on welfare, Medicaid and food stamps. Red states do nothing but mooch
Clearly it’s unhealthy. There’s roughly 3500 students in that chart. How many of them are technology casualties? My guess is not many, not when zero hit their targets. That’s a systemic problem almost all within one area of one state. Why would you not immediately look at that as opposed to screen time that effects literally everyone? This is what I mean by shell game with you guys. It’s a constant diversion and distraction and no desire to deal with things directly.
We were having a higher level conversation about education overall and society as a whole. You can focus on that chart deeply if you like. No one is criticizing you for it.
Who are you and who is we? They responded directly to my post. GFY.
Did you guys know that California and NY were red states???
Based on SNAP data, California, Florida, and Texas have the highest number of welfare recipients, followed by New York and Pennsylvania.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- California: Leads in the number of SNAP households, with 1,911,000.
- Florida: Follows closely with 1,632,000 SNAP households.
- Texas: Comes in third with 1,595,000 SNAP households.
- New York: Completes the top five.
Damn red states!!

- New Mexico: has the highest percentage of its population receiving SNAP benefits.
- Alaska: has high per capita public welfare spending.
- Massachusetts: has high per capita public welfare spending.
- New York: has high per capita public welfare spending.
- District of Columbia: has high per capita public welfare spending.
- Oregon: has high per capita public welfare spending.
- Kentucky: has high per capita public welfare spending.
Here’s another for food stamps. Damn DC and Oregon those red sob’s.
Which states have the highest and lowest rates of food stamp usage?
In New Mexico, 22.9% of the population receives SNAP benefits – the highest of any state, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of SNAP recipient figures and Census Bureau population estimates for July 2022, the most recent available. The District of Columbia is next-highest at 21.4%, followed by Oregon at 17.8% and West Virginia at 17.7%. (We excluded the Virgin Islands and Guam from this analysis because the Census Bureau doesn’t have 2022 population estimates for them. But using 2020 census counts instead would give them rates of 23.8% and 23.6%, respectively.)
Holy shit bro. I got Medicaid too. You are 0-3. What an idiot. Do you not have google?
California has the highest use of Medicaid in the United States, with the largest Medicaid program in the country.
Medicaid spending
- California spends the most on Medicaid, followed by New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida

Are you going by count? Wouldn’t the states with the highest population be expected? I’d guess he was saying per capita or compared to GDP or something. Comparing entitlements taken out to taxes contributed.
Yeah, I put that in my first sentence. That I wasn’t really making a direct argument or debating it was THE cause or anything. Before I stated anything else. I wasn’t playing a shell game, you need to lighten up Francis.
Read his post. Not sure what to tell you. He’s wrong on every level. And of course the taxes in those states are substantially higher. Look at all the crazy programs they have. That stuff is paid for by taxpayers. The tax burden of living in SC is much lower than Cali. Why do you think that is? Can’t be because it’s old or dumb right? Weren’t we the first state? It’s out of control because of their policies.
For instance I posted last week a law being passed in California that requires the state to cover all illegal immigrant healthcare. Who pays for that?
He did include stats that New Mexico, then Oregon, then DC have the highest per capita SNAP usage. All 3 democrat strongholds.
Even within red states, how much of the welfare demand is driven by dem voters? Statistics on political party and poverty level suggest a lot. How much of SC’s welfare demand is in Clyburn’s blue district?
