EBT Payment Shutdown Thread

[potato in mah painus]

just remember the following:
if you say you didnt vote for this, but absolutely voted for turnip in the election and would vote for him on a 3rd term in 2028, then you absolutely did vote for this

Voted for, getting what was promised, and getting plenty of bonuses I never thought he would touch. I couldn't be happier with what Trump has delivered.

b) A small room within a concrete building with just enough space for a single bed, a sink, a bar of soap, a single outlet and a small box for belongings.
c) A key for said room.
d) The simplest smartphone possible with limited call time and data.
e) Two daily portions of tasteless nutriloaf that has enough calories and nutrients to sustain someone.

Back when I was nearing the end of my college years, I also toyed with this idea, because I was a bit anxious about entering the workforce and a fully independent life. I thought, it would be so nice to have such a safety net you can fall back on, if shit doesn't work out for you. After I started working, I realized, the existence of such safety net would completely destroy society as we know it. The reason behind that is simple: most people would completely stop actively working. They would just do a few gigs occasionally, to get enough money, to upgrade their rathole with some creature comforts and they would rot there for the rest of their lives. You would think they would be motivated to work, so they could get better food, better clothes, a car, a house, a family, etc., but sadly that is NOT the case. Most people would simply choose to complain about not getting these goodies by default and demand the expansion of benefits. The only reason why the majority of people get up in the morning, to go to work is, because it is a necessity for survival (everything else is just extra). Who would support all the infrastructure you described? Obviously, those few who would actually bother to work. Would they be happy, that most of the money they make goes to support good for nothing lazy leeches? I believe, a system like this would lead to even worse inequality we face today. I have come to the conlusion, my idea and any form UBI, is just communism reinvented, steal from the "rich" to feed the "poor".
Sure, we have billions of people on this planet and I am aware, it is crazy to believe, that every adult really needs to work to sustain civilization. But if we admit, that only a fraction of us needs to work, we face the problem, that we need to decide who actually does the stuff, that still needs to be done, to keep running things. Not enough people would sign up voluntarily, so we would need to classify a group of people, who would be condemned to do all the work, while everyone else just enjoys free life and self-realisation. Who would decide, who belongs to these castes?
As much as I hate the current, shitty dog and pony show, I prefer it over any of the dystopian alternatives.

as much as the potential suffering of lazy ass niggers gives me the biggest schadenfreude-boner I've ever gotten -

the problem with this is that due to how fucked the job market is half the people who do want to work cant even get a job at fucking mcdonalds.

And I gotta ask a question to the people saying "just get a job" - does it really seem like the US has tons of jobs open at the moment?

^this is a legitimately good point. After applying for almost 2 years, only NOW have I - a professional with 5 years of experience in my field - landed a higher-paying job. And I can't keep track of how many jobs I've applied to and interviewed for before finally landing one.

Because the government told them, in very plain and simple terms, "more babies more money." And that's all they heard.

And like every retard ever, each one of them suddenly had a very clever idea no one will ever have thought of before.

I believe you can put the poor into two neat groups.

The moochers- dysfunctional parents that have too many kids and expect the government to take care of them for it. Tweakers and drug/alcohol addicts. The “mentally ill” who are perfectly physically capable of working, but don’t because they’re “too sensitive”. You know what I mean.

The vagabonds- People that live deep in the foothills or off grid. Up to entirely self sustaining communities down to small groups or individuals that actively stay away from populated areas and hunt, fish, and sleep in the woods and bother no one.

We have WAY more moochers in America, cause it’s ‘easier’ to do

There would be plenty of jobs for Americans if we stopped being dependent on other countries for all our goods and removed the non-Americans working here. The welfare state goes hand-in-hand with that bullshit.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

I know yanks like to make fun of the British for having beans on toast as our go-to cheap/quick meal but you could honestly do a lot worse.

So long as you butter the toast, whenever i see unbuttered beans on toast on the internet i feel violated. I think its just a psyop to shit on british food.

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

It's a shame that this is happening, some people are honest and hard working, but still need to rely on this shit, but you won't hear about that, you'll just hear from the usual suspects.

I know people in my family that do rely on food stamps. They work and also hustle. Sucks to see it when hard working people and parasites that’ll make it all about them is all we will hear from.

I didn’t vote for Trump, hell I’ve never even voted, but I truly do hope that as many illegal immigrants as possible are removed before his term ends. I’ve never understood why liberals get so got-dang whiney about this stuff.
If they have such a problem they should look at the policies in place, instead of screaming orange man is the devil. But stupid individuals find it easy to blame one guy instead of the countless more that keep the checks and balances in place.

Less illegals crowding up the job market is great news in my eyes.

I feel like a lot of problems would be solved if SNAP was replaced by the government just giving out bulk staple food and canned goods to needy families. Shaniqua might not be so obese if she wasn't given a steady diet of free hot chips and sugar drinks and junkies won't be trading EBT steaks for drugs

Bring back government cheese. Empty out those cheese caverns. That shit made excellent grilled cheese sandwiches by the way, which went well with the canned tomato soup with white labels. When I was a kid people quit making fun of the welfare kids for being on welfare once they got a taste of those.

I would go over and have one of these lunch after lunches after school with my welfare bro every other day.

I fucking do, i paid him money and he sent me a coin.

Which one of you is Black Pigeon Speaks.

Oh this is gonna be quite the shitshow. The amount of people learning niggertry will understand the fatigue and why people liked Epic Beard Man in the first place. He subconsciously tapped into nigger fatigue.

Reuploading this since for obvious reasons, got Shoa'd off of youtube. Stay strapped and remember. Its better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

Neggers believing the hype, they are the physically superior race. I have know some real tough guys. There was a reason Rampage Jackson was respectful of Danny Henderson.

I do know one person that has EBT actually, though really that's cause they live in a liberal state with a high cost of living. If personally given the choice to get EBT benefits, assuming my life got fucked up, I'd be split between being ashamed to need it and just wanting to milk the government system while it's still there. Would probably help that I'm basically fine eating the same thing every day for every meal if needed. My fucking cat does it, why shouldn't I?

The real issue with EBT now is its use has expanded to ridiculous levels, to the point where fucking McDonald's takes EBT now. I cannot think of more inefficient use of someone's food money than buying current year fast food goyslop and the fact that tax payer money is going towards it is fucking infuriating.

I have a retarded idea: implement UBI, but instead of Universal Basic Income it's Universal Basil sustenance.

Want a better place to live? Get a job. Just holding even the most mundane of jobs would give you the right to better accommodation. Otherwise, you're staying in the niggercube.

Good behavior, voluntary work and showing responsibility would be rewarded with wholesome leisure materials of their choice. Arts and crafts, sportsballs, books, gym weights, etc.

Want to buy junk food or useless shit? Get a job and pay for it out of your own pocket.

Broke or Defaced your government-issued stuff? Too bad, it's going to stay broken because that's all you get. If you want a new one, get a job and pay for it.

If a libshit commie whines about this being inhumane, you point out that this is literally everything they have ever wanted, and 50 times better than the living conditions in the Soviet Union. Then you beat them to death with a rock because they're commies.

Maybe include mandatory reversible sterilization. The issue with all these open ended welfare schemes is that the people on them reproduce like crazy, since they don't have a lot else to do and there's no cost to them to have children (see all of Africa for the last 60 years), so if the population isn't controlled it'll just explode until the people actually working can't support it.

Bread is awesome and easy to make. Its suppose to be calorie dense because you are suppose to work it off in the fields.

Making bread from regular (wheat) flour isn't significantly cheaper or more nutritious than just buying pasta made from plain flour.

You bake because you enjoy it and want a customized bread,not to save money.

edit: Ideal solution. Make EBT users who aren't working take a fucking cooking class to learn how to make their own meals.

The reason people food-stamp recipients buy soda and candy isn't because they don't know how to cook lentils,it's because they're lazy,lack self-discipline and have an entitlement mentality.

Also Trump 1.0 idea of pre-packed food boxes instead of giving them gibs to buy their own.

An actuall good idea;standardized,affordable and nutritious food boxes instead of food stamps that you'll use to increase your BMI and decrease your insulin reponse to burden public healthcare.

Governor Youngkin, a Republican in VA, has announced the state will pay for SNAP out of pocket using the budget surplus he created in his time as governor. Despite putting the state in a position to be able to pay for nigger gibs and setting up this program, the retards of that state are still likely to put a dem in the governor seat in two weeks.

I dunno man, the promise of gibs might swing the nigger vote since that's the only thing Democrats have. LBJ's strategy to secure the minority vote forever was exactly that and it worked swimmingly.

It has always been like this. I think some companies advertise non-existent jobs and others have a preferred candidate so waste everyone else's time with pointless interviews.
