‘Make It Happen’: Dad Gives Bold Life Advice While Others Panic About EBT Shutdowns (VIDEO)
This dad talks about the ONE kind of pride today's activist left won't touch with a 10' pole

With Schumer’s Shutdown about to drop the hammer not just on federal employees, but on those government bennies, too, one dad shares a lifetime of wisdom with anyone tempted to find their security on government handouts.
There’s a kind of peer pressure out there that normalized turning the social safety net into a hammock, rather than a springboard that lets you get back up to the highwire act up above where life in the real world happens every day.
One dad isn’t just rejecting that narrative, he’s exposing it for the lie that it is.
This is America, where most anyone can do better than that; can BE better than that.
What happened to pride?
"I would be totally embarrassed if my kids were on EBT."
"If I found out my kids were in the welfare system, I failed them."
"Why don't you want to make black people proud?"
"What happened to pride?"
"You can do whatever you want to do on this Earth, just apply yourself!"… pic.twitter.com/AJseblwAtB
