  1. A good lesson COVID taught me is that everyone needs life insurance. Mandatory if you have kids or anyone who financially depends on you.

  2. Stop having kids Jesus 6 kids!!! If you don't have the income to do soo.

  3. That money belongs to Ukraine now

  4. Lunchables is about as lazy as it gets. How you pop out 6 kids and can't cook a decent meal, this is planned poverty.

  5. Them six kids finna be drill rappers, I'll keep my money right in my pocket.

  6. This is what We need to do go to Washington DC and Man of The Years and Wondering Woman Black Lives Matter (C.E.O) will have to answer the Clown House back doors

  7. Birth control is cheaper than having kids

  8. If you can't afford to support and feed your children, then don't have them. I absolutely hate irresponsible people who think the world owes them something.

  9. The NBC Producers Really Chose the Wrong Family to Highlight for this Story. The fact that She’s a Single Mother with 6 Children doesn’t create compassion or empathy but rather harsh criticism about her Poor Choices in Birth Control.

  10. Politicians DO NOT CARE. US GOVT DOES NOT CARE. They have NO SOUL….NO FEELING FOR ANYONE.

  11. USA producing more gangstars through this. Should we expect some export of this to some countries? Like it was done with Central America?

  12. Easy. Don't have kids if you can't afford to support yourself. Close your legs

  13. "Pandemic-era food benefit ending March 1st" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward"

  14. Six kids and str8 broke

  15. America pay a living wage ffs, u r 1 of the lowest paid countrys in the WORLD,

  16. Maybe she should try having a 7th or 8th kid 🤔 🤷

  17. Half the comments are liars and procrastinators…..I’m on ebt…. And it helped me TEMPORARILY to catch up on bills… I am thankful.. quick tip to 80 percent of single moms… close those legs.

  18. 6 kids, how many daddy's, they need to help,

  19. You shouldn't have that many kids if you can't feed them. Having kids is a CHOICE. Being a responsible parent is able to provide and feed them without the help of government. When tax time comes it's unfair for people with no kids that government does not assist. Most of us don't even get a tax return! I have no empathy for those that have so many kids that they can't feed on their own.

  20. Keep having those kids hunny. We'll cover them… 😋

  21. Darn…. People will need to go back to work.

  22. Are family planning and economics not being taught in school anymore?

  23. I don't have anyone against the underprivileged and poor but having six children is really difficult especially for the poor as they wont have resources to feed the children. Family planning needs to taken into consideration.

  24. Why do you have 6 kids? Irresponsible unemployed uneducated

    Put ourself in your shoes? We cant cause someone needs to act responsible.

  25. I bet Jessica Ramos has said she’s an independent woman that ain’t need no man!

  26. How’s that single motherhood working out?

  27. Great job, Jessica. A nice healthy lunch of Lunchables. 😂

  28. Come on, Jessica. You don’t have to be a stereotype.

  29. This country needs to account for people trying to have kids when they know they can't afford them.

  30. Why is it that the baby daddies are not paying child support!!! People should not be having kids if they are not financially capable period. Breeders🤦🏼‍♀️

  31. This government just keeps giving. Get rid of food benefits when inflation is 20% more for groceries.

  32. "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone." ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

  33. Maybe she shouldn't have so kids lol close yo legs lol
