I can account that alot of stores are cutting hours in preparation for the loss of revenue. Safeway, fredmeyer, etc are trimming hard

I love Asians but I’m slightly disturbed by their tendency to conform. If black people tend towards violence and sloppiness, Asians tend towards conformity. I think I’d go crazy living in Asia, even though I have no issues with Asian friends or co workers.

My friend had her honeymoon in Japan and she said that it was actually depressing af when she went precisely because of the intense culture of conformity. She said it actually made her miss all the disgusting blue haired walmart people back home. Singapore struck me as pretty pleasant when I went, I would imagine largely because the cosmopolitanism allows for little pockets of different subcultures. I think when you combine asian conformity with nationalistic/anti-immigration attitudes you end up with just an incredibly claustrophobic and homogenous culture.

What people spend on snap (vs non snap), not as bad as I thought tbh

Not great but not terrible, obviously though the avg. american diet is shit, so we are kind of just comparing two kinda bad shits.
in the other thread someone criticized the data, which is fair, but that's all we have. I'm sorry but "I saw a black lady buy shrimp with ebt" isn't something we can do real world analysis on lol.
I'm also certain the "loudest/proudest" users of EBT (you know who) are the ones really skewing this data.

Soda is cheaper is why Americans buy so much more soda tbh. Instead of subsidizing corn farmers, subsidize meat and dairy farms. You'll find Americans getting healthier in no time.

Sweetened beverages get a deposit so you can buy them dump them and return them for the deposit, this thread has plenty of examples of that being done. The meat one is good, but there's no guarantee that they aren't turning around and selling the meat for money for drugs.

This happens, but is it 1%, 5%, 25%, 50%,95% of EBT users doing it? there is going to be fraud, but how much is too much.
I know in some places (I think it was a problem in a city in Cali) drug users will buy packs of water for ~4$, drain all the bottles and recycle them for 1$ to buy drugs.
Abusers of the system should be stopped, but I really don't think a large percentage of EBT users is pawning items off for drugs. Would they need to? someone is already paying for their food, so they would already have the extra income for drugs? the REAL AF take is that this is why we should drug test people on EBT.

please don't bully the corn, you are making it cry
 
I am of the firm belief that nothing ever happens, but I can't deny that I am watching the count down like I did for Christmas when I was a kid because on the off chance that if something does happen I think it will be funny.

LMAO, dude, you're not going to believe this, but we already do. To a lesser extent than corn albeit, but still a lot.
 
There is a news article tha talks abou the Bay Area giving free food to SNAP recipients.


Frankly, right-wingers and libertarians would see this and say 'Mission accomplished.' If the government gets out of charity, then the private sector would provide these rvices themselves in a generally higher
quality without jacking up public debt, let alon enabling corruption from the money and influence these taxes and government-run charities invite.

This bitch has way bigger problems than EBT. Jesus. It's unclear if she's pregnant now or if a past pregnancy caused her to allegedly become disabled, but if she's pregnant now, she should be jailed. I have no sympathy for people who continue to breed despite being totally incapable of normal adult functioning. It should be prosecuted as what it is: felony child cruelty.

No matter what happens next, Dems have lost the fight. It's only a matter of how badly they've lost, depending on what happens over the next few weeks.

They might not have though. The nignogs appear to be too stupid to figure out Trump had literally nothing to do with this. It's literally a 1980 interpretation of an 1870 law that requires these shutdowns that have occurred in every administration since then.

It's usually the minority party that does it, and in this case, the Democrats have done it because they adamantly insist on healthcare for illegals and similar insane bullshit. The nignogs? They don't understand this, it's a little above their heads. After all, they did have breakfast this morning.

Confucian thought works well for stability and long term planning. It can not handle chaos and tries to keep great men down plus does not do innovation well.
 
They’re flooding “what’s happening in city, state” local groups to beg the plebs for gibs. An Atlanta organization also called on the plebs to pay tithes to the poor and stock the food bank. I guess the taxes they take stop impacting our paychecks if they’re not being distributed to the more deserving, so we should do more. We need to DO 👏 BETTER. 👏

I’ve seen a couple like this and they all get big mad when you ask where the father is, is he working too? I can’t believe how many retards take offense at such a practical question, they gunt guarded hard for this one. This one in particular didn’t respond to any of the numerous food bank/charity/church suggestions but took less than a minute to message some idiot who offered to meet her at Kroger.
 
Going hungry isn't the end of the world. Amerilards could stand to lose a few pounds tbh. Just make sure you're drinking your water.
