As a proud @TeamAustralia adoptee, I've reaped all the rewards of being taken in by some of the finest folks ever, especially the crew highlighted in the @centerlink profiles!! We've been swapping health tips, shared some fascinating income streams, even shared recipes!
Many Aussies didn't realize that you should wear gloves when scooping up fresh vittles, but health first!!
Even our kids help out with shopping for the evening meals
More tips I've been able to share about how to stretch the food budget: we use to having these cumbersome food stamps, oh how embarrassing to use, everyone in the check-out line could spot them!
We cleared that up and rebranded those humiliating stamps with debit cards, even gave them a cool name "SNAP"! (supplemental nutrition assistance program) Oh SNAP!!! Yea we still call them food stamps, but now you get a jazzy credit card looking thing. It also helps the banking community-JP Morgan processes all the transactions and gets a cut!
I believe we found some mutual topics too, not only can you just show up and get the SNAPpy cards, the more kids you pump out the more money you get-really? What could be easier!!
And if this is a true contest, the great USA now has more than 50 million folks getting gov assistance (out of 330 million folks,)and most of them are legal citizens, well we really have no idea about those numbers, top that!!!
A bit of nationalism has taken hold of me and now feel the need to highlight some of the wonders that make my country great!
I have to credit our amazing education system.
Our system is called "Common Core".
Yes, it's new and we're just getting use to it but already it has ranked us in the top 40's around the globe in science and math.
The new national standards to teach our children everything they need to be successful. Here are some sample questions, it's so nice too and almost ANY answer can be the right answer!!
and talk about "Team Spirit" it may sound like socialism, but it's teaching socializing! And aren't compliant citizens good for the country!! Yes community organizing and free stuff for everyone!
What a great way too to prepare our young people for why it's good to pay our taxes so that when you work for your money you can share it!!
Wow! New Math, M.I.T. here we come!!
Our sex education questions (actually this is a vocabulary question) prepare both women and men to be "productive" .
We use to have free school lunch, now we have free school breakfast and have just added free dinner, after attending free after school care programs, families can now gather after children spend 10-hours getting their edumacation and food and talk or text about what they had for dinner!!
The Free healthy school food program was implemented by our former first LADY!! (well, we're still not 100% sure who those people were).
So I've rambled on about the great U S of A and as we settle into our Fouth of July Holiday celebrating freedom and democracy and how we've spread the message around the world (like in Syria-heck they are almost free)!
I've barely touched the surface!!! Ofcourse, I'll leave it to the judges to decide which team I've helped the most with these insights into Merican' Life!!
To the UN negotiators: 'Master Arbiters' @crypto-investor, @galenkp @ryivhnn
I found some of the rules of engagement beyond my educational understanding, above my civil service pay grade and "hero ranking" and blondness.
I'm just going to show my wedding photograph, I don't have anything fancypants like @sirknight and his @bearone armour, but that may change over time.
