This is a post that the editor didn't really believe at first, until he watched the video, and indeed, Defiant L's is correct. CNN was hosting Democratic political commentator Ashley Allison to talk about the "shutdown showdown," and Allison brought up a poignant anecdote about going to get her eyebrows done and finding out the very real impact the government shutdown is having on eyebrow technicians.
Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) ~ CNN's Ashley Allison says SNAP is having a "massive impact" after she went to her eyebrow technician who told her they had to fire people because clients don't have money to do their brows.
The horror.

Who is this stupid, clueless c*nt?! The tragedy of the Schumer Shutdown is that the reduction in SNAP benefits is DEPLETING THE CUSTOMER BASE FOR EYEBROW TECHNICIANS - REALLY???!!! Are you effing kidding me?!
Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) ~ Man, I’m sure glad government takes my tax dollars so the eyebrow industry can stay afloat.
Agustin Sanchez de T (@agustins) ~ Thought that SNAP was for low income families that really need it. Seems that the scam is out of proportion.
Betsy Combier (@BetsyCombier) ~ Gosh, what a tragedy - NOT!
HolderOfTheHorns (@EAndersonOhio) ~ Let's see ... Get my eyebrows done, or eat. Hmmm ... I consider eyebrows non-essential. If you have money to "get eyebrows done," then you can buy food.
Well, in the brain-dead circles that Ashley Allison apparently inhabits, you not only have to have your eyebrows done, but you also have to have your eyelashes done (see Rep. Jasmine Crockett - D, TX) ... your "claws" done (i.e., sharpened 5-inch fingernails) ... your butt injections so that da brothers can still bounce dimes off your badonkadonk ... etc., etc., etc.
Bill Tai (@KiteVC) ~ Given the benefits are fungible, if a SNAP cutback is affecting spending at salons , the program needs to be cut back. The recipients had enough money for food; it was misdirected for vanity.
Zac Pennington (@zacpennington) ~ SNAP’s “massive impact” ... brow techs now bartering lashes for ramen.
Meme Wars (@_MemeWars) ~ WTF is an "eyebrow technician?" 🤡🤡🤡
Patriot Erin (@PatriotErin) ~ These people live in a completely different "reality" from the real world. If you have money to get your brows done, you don't need food stamps.
Tami Huber (@luvofbesuty) ~ She said that ... out loud, on national TV. The disconnect couldn't be clearer.
She really did say it.
Well, she's a woketard moron, so ...
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
