Well, but that's another thing, no? I'm asking genuinely, mind. I'm not telling burgers that they should accept European ways (though I do think it's better). Like, exactly - if you blow your money on shit, then no money for you. Starve.
But if you are genuinely in need, gov't will not let you eat dirt, so it has to be a conscious decision to be a nigger (or fall through the cracks).

It might work, but honestly I feel like a good 80% of the niggers and useless eaters would piss their welfare money away and have nothing to show for it; then turn around and bitch that either someone should have stopped them or somebody needs to give them more money. Plus, wouldn't that fuck with inflation even more? Printing yet more money to hand out to people too lazy to work?

All EBT payments stop by November 1st. This thread is intended to serve as containment for related news articles, chimpouts, and relevant commentary.

At least 25 states plan to end the program. These include states with a high nigger population (Arkansas and Mississippi) and states in deep financial trouble (California and New Jersey).

Since neither article listed the states involved, here is a list I found:
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

picrel is inclusive of sadbird's longer list and Politico's shorter list (Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi).

Assuming each state is proportionally represented in the ~42 million SNAP recipients (they assuredly aren't but I'm not going to go through the trouble of getting the complete state-by-state numbers for this post), then 34.55 million (82.27%) recipients are inclusive on the list of states ending the benefits. Reducing the number of recipients to about 7.45 million. Or a reduction from 12.25% of Americans (and "Americans") receiving SNAP benefits to 2.17% in the short list of states not ending the benefits (as of right now anyway).

Nigger, I'm not a communist. I just think what you're going on about is fucking stupid, edgy, and insaaanely narrow-sighted.

Two things can be true. Niggers deserve to be cut from EBT, and you're a fucking mong.

If you argue pro state intervention in production and demand on uncovered debt, socializing risk on somebody else in the future, for you individually to profit now, you are communist. Plane and simple.

I would agree with the rice, but substitute beans. Also why are you doing kilograms nigga are you even a burger? Do all the rice and beans at once, spice them up a little. Portion them out into Tupperware in meal-sized portions, freeze. Get the first chicken thighs you find on sale in a 10 pound bag or the like, maybe some ground beef too. Similarly, spice them up a little, portion them out.

For fruit, bananas.

It's not actually a terrible idea to use one of those sugary breakfast cereals for vitamins, but those cheap ass giant bags are probably better. Milk is going to be an issue. That shit can get pretty pricey lately.

Anyway, there you have your basic meals. Any time you can pick up some cheap produce on the last chance drawer, you can add some variety to the basic rice and beans dish.

This is not going to come to $25, even $50 would be optimistic (at least in current year), but hey, splurge, get some hot sauce, look for things like cheap chorizo, other meats, save enough to buy a cheap steak and cut it to strips for a minor treat.

And figure out lots of ways of eating potatoes. Luckily there are about a million. You can also chop them up and fry them and add them to the vaguely Mexislop rice and beans dishes.

Finally consider buying dried fruit in bulk, they are cheap and very high in certain nutrients that you’ll currently be missing.

And they'd also satisfy this dude's apparent sweet tooth in a more healthy way.

It’s just not like Europe. The people abusing it vastly outweigh those who need it. Btw the people who DO need it usually get less then 300$ a month because they penalize you for Trying to get off gibs

Damn, my state isn't listed. And here I was hoping I could be a spectator for some prime chimpouts.

Canned goods and grains in my experience hold up alot better with less room for error .

Frozen produce sometimes has more intact vitamins than fresh. It's frozen very soon after picking. Meanwhile, "fresh" is shipped for days to the stores and many of the vitamins in produce degrade over time.

This is especially true of broccoli for some reason. Frozen broccoli is significantly more nutritious than "fresh". But carrots, onions and sweet potatoes are better fresh.

I genuinely do not give a shit how you classify me, nor how I come across in your eyes.
All I need is a confirmation that you understand how fucking retarded you sound.

I'll just take the next dumbass thing you say as confirmation and a concession to keep from detailing the thread.
 
I don't know how anyone can live on public assistance *alone*, without doing something illegal.
I became disabled in my 40s, and was on welfare/food stamps for 2 1/2 years while waiting for my disability case to wind its way through the system. I got a rent allowance of $300-something, which got me a furnished room (I live in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, so there was no way in hell I could rent an apartment on my own.). There was a cash benefit, amount I can't remember, but it wasn't as large as the rent allowance. Food stamps amount was actually pretty generous for a single person, I thought, but I don't eat snacks very much, and rarely drink soda, so I almost never spent the whole amount in a month. The deli I frequently shopped at would let me order sandwiches (pre-made food usually not eligible), which was a blessing because I was too sick to cook, most of the time.

I didn't know people "sold" food stamps (being a white middle-class femoid), but a friend of mine told me that if one knew the "right" people, one could get 50-70 cents on the dollar in cash. Ain't gonna lie, I did that a few times to cover shortfalls.

Before I got sick, I worked at a professional job with a good salary, and had been employed continuously since I was 18, other than a couple of stay-at-home mommy years, so my SSDI, when it came, was enough to live on, if frugally. I also got a check for back benefits for the 2 1/2 years between my application and my award, which enabled me to put a security deposit on an apartment.

(SSDI converts to regular Social Security retirement benefits when you hit Full Retirement Age, so now I'm just a retiree LOL.)

Fair enough. I come from a country where welfare simply doesn't exist. I'm genuinely grateful that now I'm in a different country that would actually support me if I'm being honest, so my opinion is a bit biased. Eh.
