Well, shit they're still broke outside the damn food stamps. That's why they qualify. If anything, we should be expanding the program since Elon is trying to replace the bachelor's degree holders with Indians and the cushy fed jobs are being slashed.
Having a disposable income should disqualify you from public assistance in the first place. Your premise is false so any conclusions drawn from it can be discarded.

Money is fungible. Begin your education there by learning what that means.

You really shouldn't be comfortable living on public assistance. It should absolutely suck dick. Thereby incentivizing you to get off of it.

Prior to Food Stamps you got your allotment of government cheese, flour, and so on. Just enough so you could survive. If you have disposable income to go to the bar and enjoy luxuries you shouldn't be on assistance.
 
on the EBT thing, I had regular Food Stamp style EBT card in Florida on-and-off through bad work circumstances a few times
the way it worked was it paid for not-hot food, that's all it checked for, was the item not-taxed per food, and was it not hot
so a COLD pile of tendies from Publix deli (same price as hot) was kosher, as was fresh sushi
stuff that wasn't food like paper towels or booze would automatically not get paid for, so if I had a stack of regular stuff and a pack of paper towels in the mix there would be two bucks left for me to pay automatically figured out by the machine
this is set up at the inventory level and not really a thing random clerk can influence the outcome of to any great degree
iirc Target machines were absolute mongoloids about figuring this out. they would try and have a seizure each time, otherwise most places didn't have any issues or would just say "no you have to do them seperate"
there was some asian groceries though that had EVERYTHING in the story inventoried as "grocery"
I was getting some odds and ends like fish sauce, and threw in, I forget, a keychain or some chopsticks or some crap, and I figured it would just auto-do it but they just rang up the whole thing

so yeah you're not going to pull that off at Wal-Mart so much but there are certainly shithole enough places that do it either actively or out of ignorance
 
This will make me sound like a shill and I don't particularly care for spending EBT on coke but most of those food stamp recipients are wage earners and taxpayers. That actually is their own money they're spending.
Oh OK, well I earn wages and pay taxes too. Where's my free Dr. Pepper?

Maybe if they get extra money from their taxes (and mine) they shouldn't be able to spend that on shit which makes them unheathier, which then causes the medical costs which are paid for with their taxes (and mine) to go up.

Every state is different. The rules can even vary county by county. Even that's irrelevant if there's no supervision or enforcement of those rules and there has never been an incentive to do that, only trouble.

As someone who has been homeless and used food stamps before, I was shocked to learn that things like energy drinks and candy were completely viable to purchase with food stamps. There is literally no nutritional value to any of those things, yet if I wanted to I could have spent the 300~ dollars on spicy chips and Gatorade. About a month or so of being EBT I finally got a job and they still sent me the benefits, so I didn't have to worry about food for a while, which helped me save money, but only because I bought ingredients to make things that last multiple days. If I had just bought a lunch of frozen dinners and other junk, that 300 wouldn't even last the entire month.
 
Since the McMartin preschool and Finders shit was brought up I feel obligated to post and archive Ted Gunderson's (LA FBI Director that worked the McMartin preschool case) old presentation about the CIA and Satanism in which he discusses the case and what he found there fairly in depth. I'm sure most people that frequent this thread are very well aware of this video and Ted Gunderson lol but I figured there's probably someone here who hasn't heard of this and might be interested to check it out. I'm sure there are flashier and more zoomer friendly videos about the case but I like the old actually real deal stuff from the horse's mouth that gets straight to the point. It's crazy shit and it's easy to see why so many people dismissed it as lunacy back then but it hits differently when watched today and I think it's extremely poignant.

He starts discussing the McMartin case at 26:45

Gunderson was batshit insane and got sued by Art Bell for claiming Bell molested his son. He ended up settling out of court. Also IIRC the children said such things like a clown sodomized them with butcher knifes, and so did Chuck Norris, also the chief accuser said that Raymond Buckey could fly.

re food stamp sperging the reason why you can buy all this sugary shit on EBT is, again, because of the USDA gibsmedats for farmers. It's covered by all of that because the USDA's primary function is to give money to prop up the American agricultural industry, and EBT is part of that.

yeah that's why I clarified what state I'm talking about
and I'm pretty sure Florida is standardized state-wide

but yeah that's basically my point is that your real chains won't pull that bullshit because it's all part of the automatic inventory stuff and how they do taxes and whatnot, so fucking with that would ruin lots of downstream shit
the little owner-operated craphole however will be able to get away with a lot

If you're broke and on public assistance then your life sucks enough already. We left that whole bare minimum assistance behind for the reason that it doesn't actually improve your chances to ascend poverty if you're constantly thinking of how much you hate it.

Did you try applying?

That's good. SNAP was meant for people like you and people like you deserve options. That's partly why it's worth giving the assorted scum and villainy of this earth their leeway.
 
"We have to keep giving them free shit or they'll get violent" should last just long enough for you to find a big enough rock.
its crazy how AI autists are going crazy over Rogu's Basilisk when Tyrone's Basilisk has been ruining this country for almost a century now
I would wager to say that RFK Jr.
RFK would literally rather die than force niggers to do anything they don't want to do. do people not realize the sort of shit he was saying on the campaign? literally in favor of reparations and wanted to triple the food stamp budget. what the fuck do you think niggers would have spent that on?
and lowers testosterone.
then why did REN say it actually increases ball size?
Well not the Dems, they would get slaughtered in the midterms and 2028
you don't know that. people back in 2013 said the GOP would be retarded to go even further right wing in the midterms or 2016.
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...
Trump is such a fucking pussy
 
Of course she was born a hundred years ago. Can you fuck off with this gimmick and just hit up a retirement home already if you're that hard up? You might as well be a furry or a discord tranny where I can't get through a single post of yours without being reminded that, yes, you want to fuck grandmas.
@The Last Stand can't get those women anyway because those women hate niggers. It is a real separate-but-equal pickle he's in.
 
Would it help if EBT was paid out weekly instead of monthly? Then instead of one massive payment they get multiple smaller ones that encourages them to at least plan one week at a time?
we're talking about niggers. You might as well say "but what if we taught dogs consent, would they stop trying to hump each other and our legs?" like as cute as it is to think of them as human beings with a level of understanding and rationality, they just aren't
 
EBT should just be rations and not choice. It should be the bare minimum to keep them alive until they can earn there own money, and should be just enough to keep them almost, but not quit full. EBT should not be comfortable enough to sit on your ass and keep fucking to have babies. It should be an absolute miserable experience to motivate you to get off and get working. I'd almost say get rid of EBT entirely, and have the local school cafeterias open twice a day for qualified participants to eat school lunch slop after the school kids lunch periods are over. Purchase in bulk savings, nutritional values can be ensured, and fraud can be radically eliminated. Although I will miss my cash-only steaks from the crack head with 2 starving children at 50 cents on the dollar down at the Pig.
