We need to fight this.
I live in Massachusetts and my girlfriend moved in with me towards the end of 2018 in my home which I own. She's been out of work for a couple of years due to health issues. She lived rent free and I paid all her bills last year, including most of her food (she received about $200 a month in food stamps and I paid for the remainder). I did not pay for any of her medical benefits and she's on Mass Health.
My question is, can I claim her as a dependent? I don't know the rules regarding her collecting food stamps and Mass Health benefits and her eligibility to be claimed as my dependent.
Thanks for any advice.
Is this covert Woke Capitalism in action?
Capitalism always looks for increasing profits, this is its own and only transcendental value. Otherwise, it has no values on its own. This get leftists critics wrong and the phenomenon of Woke Capitalism proves that Culture has much bigger role on Capitalism than previously thought.
We have all seen the infamous Gillette ads. However, whether you use their products or not has no or little health consequences. What I have been worried about is when Woke Capitalism will exploit Wokism to push for clearly unhealthy consumerism. Like when in old days Capitalism and various cool ads were telling us that smoking is not only not unhealthy, but also good for you.
Now, Claire Lower, Senior Food Editor for Lifehacker, has written two articles arguing that not only (diet) Coca-cola is not unhealthy, claiming so is equaled to health-shaming.

Can I Just Enjoy This Damn Diet Coke Without Being Health-Shamed? https://skillet.lifehacker.com/can-i-just-enjoy-this-damn-diet-coke-without-being-heal-1797073517
Am I paranoid with Covid-19 induced hallucinations, or have I spotted Senior Editor being possibly paid by one of the largest corporations in the world to use Woke Capitalist strategy to push for an unhealthy product under the rubric of activism, emancipation, feminism, and free to do to anything-ism?
UPDATE: If my assertion is correct and Coca-cola's marketing geniuses want to exploit the cultural power of the Woke movement, there must be other articles and I am committed to find them and write about it.
