You're supposed to post the recipe for us. It's a rule.

Hunger can be a great motivator.
“There were mothers who took this [Rodney King LA riots] as an opportunity to take some milk, to take some bread, to take some shoes ... They are not crooks.”

This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

A hypothetical question Ajax: would you be more likely to favor or oppose a program that removed children from their homes and into boarding schools where they all received similar educations and similar stipends for living, and let them rise or fall on their own merits based purely on its ability to form the basis for a meritocracy? Just curious how your thinking on who deserves to be hungry in order to motivate them actually works.

How I do it:
Every week, I make a big batch of soup, or spaghetti, or whatever. I eat it for one meal, and freeze the rest in the little flat containers. Then I eat out of the little flat containers for the rest of my meals. I have a good variety squirelled away.
I use my breadmaker, and eat a sandwich for lunch. Not much money, and not much effort. It is not much more difficult to make a big batch of food than a little one.

Yes, you are right, Ajax, humiliate them into starvation, especially if they are disabled or retired and unable to work gainfully anyway.

In 2012 an economist wrote

"Presidents, governors, and mayors can have an impact on job creation during their terms in office," he said. "Almost always, however, the impact is small in relation to the effects of events and trends over which elected officials have little control, especially in their first few years on the job. A recession that is underway or begins soon after a president or governor takes office is in no way the fault of the new officeholder. The flip side is that chief executives cannot claim much credit for a strong economic recovery that begins shortly before or after they take the oath of office. The conditions that made the recovery possible were already present when their term in office began. The executive’s policies may have speeded or slowed the recovery around the margins, but the conditions that caused the recovery to begin were already present before the oath of office was administered."

In my recipe book. Thank you. Just realized-- this is a healthier version of funeral potatoes, isn't it?
