After the chimpouts could we be looking at some sort of EBT reform where eligibility is better scrutinized and more at-risk get a little bit more?

It should be temporary and done when you are not employed. As for Kids, it should be tied to school breakfast, lunch and a take home dinner if they are truly that hard up. Maybe look at setting up a public canteen in every county that serves bog standard military rations where you get a protein, a veg, a starch, a cookie and all the water/soda you can drink.

You can swipe an EBT card at the door. Three swipes a day. Any funding goes directly to the canteen based on how many swipes they get.

I dont want people to starve either, but I also dont want to keep giving people free money and pay then not to work.

Can you afford to live on $10/hr without EBT? If the answer's no, you're choosing to avoid higher paid work that would support you, then your choice is essentially "I'm going to sponge off the taxpayer".

Half of the incorrect economic attitudes and ideas people have is because of this tendency to look at dollar amounts, and the movements of this decoupled measure of productivity back-and-forth and imagine (incorrectly) that the black and red numbers in two columns must absolutely correspond to an equivalent action-reaction of a product or service in real terms, when that is not necessarily the case.

There is no other wealth for the nation than the product of the labor of its citizens, and there is no form of spendable tax income for the state other than that which represents directly or indirectly the labor that was done by a person. There is a certain amount of food production, entertainment, manufacturing, policing, road construction etc. which a population is able to perform in a given year, and which cannot be increased by any dollar amount of taxes that could be raised by printing, borrowing or, say, raiding every billionaire's personal wealth.

If you needed to build a new national highway system, you need a workforce willing to do it, and you need to tax the labor of farmers and service providers to compensate that workforce. This is done with dollars as a convenient medium of exchange. But the dollars themselves are meaningless, and only the labor and products of it are meaningful. You could raise a gazillion gigatrillions of fake jewdollars, and it would not create one mile of extra road unless it can represent the food and other necessities produced by some citizen that you can tax.

I see too many people fall in this trap of "billionaire paid a million in taxes, that good, teacher got her salary from taxes, that bad". We can't afford for a majority in this country to have a 12-year-old's understanding of economics anymore.

Neither is being unemployed. I do understand the argument of "I'm more likely to get a good job if I can spend all my time and energy on complicated applications", but everyone in full time work is able to manage job applications. A fresh grad can get a job in a fast food restaurant to cover their bills (the main point of any job) and then after their shift spend a few hours putting in applications for the jobs they want to pursue as a career. It is not part of the social contract that you get to graduate and then are paid to spend 6 months to a year staying at home focusing on really specific roles.

Even in the UK, you get 1 month of unemployment benefit to focus your search on your desired sector and then it becomes "the warehouse down the road is hiring, have you applied there yet? Why not? If you don't start applying to any job, we're going to stop paying you"

In practice the system is heavily gamed, but this is how the system is supposed to work. Yes, it sucks working in a shop when you're qualified for a cool interesting job in tech. But till you've got that tech career, there's a floor to be mopped.

For the past ~15 years, immigration to first world countries went from something you earned to something we do as a charity for those poorer than us. Canada did this, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, a fuckload of countries all at once decided that we need infinite third worlders rather than people who earned it.

Because the birth rate declined all over the globe in 1st world countries as the familial unit and gender roles were destroyed, women's "empowerment" doubled the available work force driving down the demand (read: wages) for employees, it also removed them from the home meaning they were less likely to have children, and generally the quality of life plummeted in terms of amount worked vs what you gained as corporations went unchecked because of lobbying. The only places that weren't experiencing said decline are third world counties, because they have nothing better to do than fuck all day and gender roles are intact.

The government sees the importing of these immigrants as a quick solution to their birth rate issues. Which obviously they didn't actually think the fuck through because even they hadn't imported a bunch of low IQ retards with no work ethic or drive, and they were all the good kind of immigrant...you are still expanding the work force at a rate that drives down wages which exacerbates the previous stated issues that lead to this AND it doesn't fix the issue of women not wanting to be mothers, or that the family unit is non-existent anymore.

But they did import low IQ retards with no work ethic or drive, so it's just made everything exponentially worse. The system is strained to it's max, people have to work harder to get less and to now fund said Immigrants, and the birth rate is still declining because no one can afford to have children...except for people on government gibs who don't work...because they have nothing better to do than fuck all day and the government pays them more per kid anyway.

The amount of Kiwis in this thread without long term food supplies is concerning i work a shitty warehouse job and have consistently managed to squirrel away 6 months of beans, rice ect for emergencies. I understand that some people are genuinely disabled but there was nothing stopping them from doing the same thing on ebt to build prep stores from. The people who i particularly feel bad for are the who skirt the line and make to much to apply for assistance as a lot of the aid networks they would normally utilize are probably going to become over utilized by the leeches who no longer have a free meal ticket only to have them throw half of the shit out in the food pantry's parking lot dumpster.
 
Call me Nostradamus because I predict hwhities ordering their groceries on Amazon and various food delivery apps, and niggers stealing/attacking the delivery drivers to steal the foods. Screenshot this, it's gonna happen.

I can get how working fast food can be beneath someone even after 20$/h. If I had a choice between making assholes fat for 20$/h and making old ladies and their cats happy for 10$/h, the choice is obvious.

the only job that should ever be "beneath" you is stealing and prostitution. yes, that includes online. a job is a job. if you think you deserve a better one, then get a better one. people who think service work is beneath them, yet sit at home on unemployment are scum and i wish them killed.

the delivery drivers are 3rd party its more likely that you just will never get your groceries as they will fail to be delivered / organized fraud

You can also thank government bullshit for this. My wife and I are looking at daycares in our area (the high end of MCOL, but we're not talking NYC, Bay Area, or Boston here). $2,400/mo/child. That's not even the most expensive either, just the closest one to us. I've seen it hit $4,000/mo/child. A combination of American fascination with precociousness and government smearing their faeces over everything means daycare workers now have master's degrees (I'm not talking shit about higher ed, I did 9 years of uni myself, but this is ridiculous) and they've maxed the child:staff ratio to 3:1.

I don't know about you, but I don't recall learning 4 different languages, going to the opera, having personalized tutoring, or multiple professional childhood development coaches at daycare or preschool. You were given blocks and toy cars to play with. You're now forced by the government to pay for, what is effectively, a nanny with a master's degree for your kid as the bare minimum. Parents that can afford this government forced minimum standard are all convinced their kid will be the next Einstein so every daycare now offers their own version of Little Genius Academy you pay out the nose for. Don't like it? Tough titties. Most daycares don't even supply anything either. You also have to pony up money for diapers, lunch, snacks, toys, wipes, extra clothes, etc... You're only paying for the staff and the building in the "tuition", everything else you provide.
 
US government is helping put together a spooky atmosphere for halloween.

I have been consistently told that prepping is for crazy people and Mormons. You will never need to have a food supply for a shortage they said, you're a sperg they said. Well, now we're here, and the preppers fucking won with their stockpile of canned chili and boxes of ammo. Lol.

It was originally to keep them on the Democratic plantation and voting blue. It became a form of riot control after the Rodney King riots.

I mean canned goods have been pretty cheap even in the past few years all things considered. Its not hard to horde cans of soup. It just takes time and a little space.
