Can someone explain the condlict for me. I'm happy to hear food stamps are more accessible to those in need ( or at least I assume they are if they have higher numbers this year).

Animals in parks shouldn't become dependent on outside food sources because they ultimately have to fend for themselves.

I feel like in missing something..

Is it implied that the post is comparing food stamp recipients to wild animals? I don't really see a connection from the post listed here.

The "meanwhile" put some intent in the message of comparing the too completely different topics. When I click the link it just shows me the post so I can't see if that's how the idea was presented.

I believe social welfare programs are just a way to subsidize corporate bottom lines. And if the comparison being made by that meanwhile between food stamps and policy's on feed wild animals o can understand the post. It's take some seriois cognitive discconsnce to make the too comsprable.

Is that what's happening or am I missing something?

Edit: after reading other links in the comment thread I guess that is the case. I'll leave my post of five dollars word but the oblivious-ness of the comparison was so over my head I couldn't see it at first.
