    You think children are getting undeserved money from the government.

    I think children are getting money from the government.

    We are not the same. </meme>

    Regardless of evidence provenance, children need to be our most sacred class of people, followed by the elderly and disabled. It shouldn’t even be a question about how and why we take care of them, we just fucking should.

    Misinformation is real, so I see part of your point, but the people outraged at this are WILDLY different from the people outraged that kids might be getting money they don’t “deserve”. Can we not just be nice to each other? This isn’t actually a zero-sum game.

      No, I actually think SBA lenders are not sending any money to 11yos. I think this is most likely a record keeping error.

      I do also think the Twitter post is confusing SSA and SBA. The SSA sending social security I am 100% for. SBA lenders sending money to business I am also 100%, even if they are 11yos. I just think it is highly unlikely that in a single year, banks decided to loan an unprecedented $300m to 11yos and that those thousands of loans all had mismatching names with their SSNs.

      I’m just saying everyone shouldn’t go rallying behind this person who is making claims without any evidence. It’s just as dumb as DOGE.
