Isn't this how we got Hitler? All the centrist got pushed out leaving only the radicals? Or is it more like Stalin?

You know I do not really know.

And I'm serious here. Who would benefit from the Democratic Party going even more to the Left?

Well not the Dems, they would get slaughtered in the midterms and 2028. American's are done with progressivism and socialist shit I think. At least that's what Rassies polls show, Dem voters are moving more centrist.

Ok so...who does benefit? Cuz I don't know. I mean sure it really helps the GoP out but they don't have the power to make the MSM flip on a dime like this and would have done so long ago if they could have. The Old Guard Mo-Dem's don't, they are the target and lack both the cash and sway needed and they are the ones the MSM is pushing to be replaced by AoC and Hakim. The Progressives? Fuck no, they have neither the power, the money or the influence to make this kind of shit happen or they would have done it and fucked over Harris for Bernie. So they're out too.

So who then? And why?

Beats the fuck out of me and even though I love to see the Left in flames this shit be weird. To see the Shill Machine turn on the Dem's literally overnight is fucking creepy. It takes a lot of either money or influence to pull off such a 180 so quickly.

These new marching orders are coming from someone but who?
 
soda's cheap enough that even the laziest niggers can find a twenty for a few cases of pepsi.
Anecdote time: Occasionally I like to drink Jack D with ginger ale and a few maraschino cherries. Today was one of those days. I went to a major chain grocery store. A two liter bottle of Canada Dry ginger ale was $4.00. Is this absurdly expensive, or is this normal? I honestly have no idea.
 
You can tell who has never interacted with the hood in their entire life nor even read up on it in the thread based on "But you CAN'T buy those things on EBT!"
You sound like a dirty DOUBLE NIGGER who didn't even use an established AI to tell you what to think about the topic, and instead gave me a detailed list of cases in how the system can be gamed. How can I possibly take you seriously?
3) You can just buck the system by entering items differently or punching them as other things or groupings of things especially if it's a "Fuck it I get paid either way" mindset or area which makes sense as there is an element of "Fuck the man" to it. Similar to the classic "X pounds of bananas at the self check out" but enabled by the owners. You got a pint of henny? Looks like a gallon of milk and a frozen pizza to me my guy. Nudge wink. Just product entry "Close enough" value things. If you go over you're skimming for "helping them out" anyway. It's hustling.
Somebody waaaay way way way back in the thread (I'm talking weeks ago) had mentioned this exact scenario in regards to a bodega they used to hit up. They'd described how some new owners were worried business was bad and they'd been scammed out of taking the shop up, but that they'd told the owners to wait for all the EBT stuff with the state to get settled up (apparently this takes a while; something to do with ATF and booze tying it up in red tape) and business would start coming back. Sure enough, it gets cleared up, and all the nignogs come back to blow EBT on things like "Totally Not Crack Pipe" glassware and such. Really wishing I could find that post now. Search in this thread by 'bodega' and you're bound to find it.

Ironically, it was @Dumbledore's Onlyfans , who I'm now convinced stole this story since it's wildly inconsistent with his current stance on abusing gibs (his current tirade being that you can't do it).
Steaks and crab aren't where the EBT money is going. Or rather, if you see someone piling up their cart with steaks and crab, then paying for it with EBT, they're trading the steaks and crab for drugs, not eating them.

The biggest waste of EBT money happens in bodegas and small liquor stores that also sell food. The EBT recipients sell their EBT for 50 cents on the dollar in cash, and the store owner just swipes through different groceries until the card is empty and puts the groceries back on the shelf.

Some of the bodegas keep a box of products behind the counter specifically for this purpose. A lot of these bodegas run numbers or other gambling games out of their stores as well. Some sell single cigarettes and illegally packaged food such as jerky, popcorn, candy, and peanuts in the shell, bought in bulk and repackaged in small plastic sandwich bags. They rarely sell drugs out of the store, because if they lose their liquor license the game is over. Some of them will refer druggies for a finder's fee from the dealer and return EBT business from the druggie.

I know this because I used to live next door to a bodega and also bought single cigarettes, candy, jerky, and peanuts from under the counter. I had relatively friendly relations with the store owners as well (as friendly as one can get with a predator). I also got questioned by the cops the night the bodega got robbed for their gambling winnings, which they kept in cash in a floor safe. I had noticed lights left on in the store at night, but didn't know about the gambling before this point. The cops visited us pretty regularly about problems at the bodega, and that's why we kept our doors locked and drove nails the window sills so they could only be opened a few inches.
Alright this might not have been the one I'm thinking of (lacks the bit about the pipes), but it's probably floating around that discussion somewhere. I can't be bothered.

For the funny I just used a burner to ask the chinese robot an inquiry just "creatively worded" and this is the best laugh I've had today. :story:

Bodega tales sleuthing
The effort is appreciated at least even if you're not for certain the specifics. Some shit just gets lost due to thread moves and trims too. Some of my earliest posts are long gone into the ether as well.

yep it shows.

I've circled around the barrio in california and other places.

So the arab running the corner shops are an ammusing bunch. smoke and liquor are the staples. also walmart is a bus ride up the street. The EBT system in california you have to apply for the machine.

One arab guy I know told me about working a place where a black dude was asking to get cash back at 50% on the dollar. The black dude was a cop and the store lost its EBT machine.

That was me, you fucking dumbass, because unlike you, I actually know something about the subjects that I talk about before I start dumping my hot takes all over the place. I also don't get butthurt like the gayest fucking liberal when presented with facts that don't align with my preconceived notions about the world, I take it under advisement and actually LOOK IT UP to see if maybe, just maybe, I was wrong or there's more to be learned about the subject at hand.

A basic AI search would have informed you that "No, you cannot typically use Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, formerly known as food stamps, to purchase laundry detergent, soap, hygiene products, or baby supplies, as these are considered non-food items."
No further commentary needed. :story:
 
nigger i lived through that shit. Our food went from being made in house by the nice old lunch ladies and it was actually GOOD to being trucked in Sysco prison tier shit that smelled bad and was colored wrong. the only way that decreased obesity was by being too disgusting to eat at all.
I'll second this. School-prepared lunch was blitheringly awful. I lack the words to describe it but I went to a nice upper class middle school and the food still tasted like it was made of plastic.

I struggle to describe it with words but stuff like this pic is what I saw every day. It resulted in me just bringing my own lunch from middle school onwards:

@Dumbledore's Onlyfans do you think that before Michelle Obama was VP, kids were eating seven helpings of McDonald's fries for lunch or something? Defund the DOE.

Soda is actual literal goyslop that rots your teeth, makes you fat as fuck, and lowers testosterone.

I'm very disappointed that so many self proclaimed conservatives are shilling it.
you can take my coca cola from my cold dead hands faggot

Le drumpf is executing costco leadership to force them to lower prices
View attachment 7125241
There's a few explanations/guesses for this, assuming you want to avoid saying "Trump Economy is better than Biden Economy."

Could be that the prices are lower due to stores wanting to flush out excess stores of products that have ingredients that may be restricted in future, like dyes or HFCS. Or if those products are made outside the US, they are being sold as is, with a loss, to avoid the risk of further tariffs in future, which would be worse than that assumed loss. This assumes the policies are the cause, but another decent guess could simply be that they may have seen a decrease in spending in some markets due to the raising prices and the very present talking point of prices on things, and are dropping them to try and remove product that would otherwise never get sold. Better a 40% percentage loss, than a 100% loss, plus whatever cost it may cause your partners to rid themselves of that product.

This could even tie back into the policy discussion, and be that since the tariff stuff started, some portion of buyers are being more penny-pinching, as they predict a rough time ahead, and this again leads to these companies trying to salvage whatever they can of stock already purchased/created/etc.

But tbh it's probably Trump burying people alive in the desert.

No one is taking your soda unless you are too fucking poor anyways, now I don’t hate soda but I also realize it’s basically the same thing as smoking a ciggy, a thing that negatively impacts your health for pleasure. Poor people by in large should be decentivised from being fat ass or walking chimneys because it puts a strain on our hospital systems and gives excuses for insurance companies to raise rates to pay for poor choices( not counting those that just cost the government more because they are on government insurance for being poorer then dirt) removing soda from benefits just makes sense the more expensive habit forming products are to get into the less amount of retards will get into it.

The IRS might be about to turn over all the data they collected on Illegal Immigrants. Which is significant amounts of data, because we've known where the fucking illegals are for decades thanks to tax documents but have never been allowed to do shit because the Uniparty wants us to normalize the idea of being an economic zone instead of a country.

Sorry, let me correct that.

A federal judge is about to issue a restraining order saying Trump isn't allowed to have the data from the IRS because Illegals had an expectation of privacy when breaking the law and besides the president has no authority to do something a judge doesn't want him to do and also to use data the government collected against them is unsporting and besides Trump isn't a real president and we're not allowed to throw people out of our country and besides it's clearly written in Das Kapital that...

Another example of wouldn’t it be based, but rule ethics niggers can’t comprehend have a sturdy but flexible morality system so we have to cave to infinity bad actors.

Is this the post you are talking about?
The guys next door were from Lebanon and were fairly concerned about their liquor license going bye-bye, so they were very careful about not ringing up any alcohol, tobacco, or lottery tickets during the scam. Idk about the various objects they sold, like knives, lighters, energy shots, weird herbal dick pills, condoms, singke doses of over-the-counter drugs, and "single roses in a glass tube" that looked suspiciously like meth pipes. They also carded for cigarettes and other tobacco products religiously. Afaik getting popped by the ATF was the only thing that would lose their liquor license. All the other stuff, they might go to jail for it, but they'd have another sand nigger in there to replace them the very next day.

I remember when they first took over the store and licenses, one of the guys complained to me about poor turnout and wondered if they'd been cheated on the store. I told him as soon as they had EBT and Lotto back, their business would triple. The liquor license and tobacco license had to transfer before they could reopen the store after the sale, but EBT and Lotto took a little while longer. That guy gave me free cokes for months after that, because they'd been thinking about selling for cheap because they thought the business was dying. Guess he talked to other sand nigger liquor store owners to figure out all the other scams, these dudes were still pretty fresh off the boat.
