where is welfare

[k15n1]

The distribution of welfare income is interesting. In theory, the lower it is, the safer you are from these zombies that everyone keeps talking about. Or maybe not. Anyway, it's fun to find yourself on the map.

I got the social security map.

And surely, it's reflecting the farmer who owns the fields all around us, instead of us.

Woah! I'm in a DARK blue county. But, we're also in a rural hunting, fishing, trapping, farming area. Lots of SS-type people here.

Woops. Haha. I just looked for welfare maps, but didn't find anything right away. Closest thing I could find is the poverty map:

(Unfortunately, the site that generated this has a pay wall.)

Hah! I live in the only county in the U.P. that's NOT dark blue. Not really surprising, though, our whole state has an aging population. It makes me sad to think about because things are geared *so* much toward young people leaving for cities where they can find work, there's not going to be any workers left.

Social Security is welfare?

Social Security is welfare?

Read the posts between this and the first post.

Well, Social Security *is* a form of welfare. The term "welfare" has become so politically loaded that it's actual definition is kind of ignored, now.

I wonder if zombies are correlated with non-social-security welfare. I mean, if you don't work and you're dependent on a government program that disappears when TSHTF, what do you do?

I'm in southern Ca. The map show we have the least amount of people. But I have to tell you. Its not the old folks on Social Security I am worried about. It's the young "entitlement" crowd. The old folks know how to store food, be frugal and eat a pot of beans. Whens the last time you ever saw a young person do any of those things?? Those are the Zombies I worry about.
