A lot of food stamp fraud is facilitated by those other than the card holder.

If someone is getting their hair and nails did instead of feeding their children with those benefits? It's because the salon is accepting SNAP as payment, which they are absolutely not allowed to do.

Who is more at fault, the idiot with an EBT card using it to buy non-food things, or the vendor accepting the EBT card for non-food goods and services?

Perhaps this will flush out a lot of shady business owners.

Healthcare can't be a human right because triage is a thing. There are only so many doctors and medical supplies to go around and if too many people need attention at once some are going to need to be denied even if their life is in jeopardy.

If we get rid of all the people that shouldn't be here and have a sane population, this won't be a problem except in cases of natural disaster, terrorism, some black swan event. I know for a fact that when my local hospital said you aren't going to get RX opioids in the ER, it cleared absolutely out.
 
We are now 3 Hours past the start of AGPinochet's irrelevant and nonsensical (because Nothing Will Happen) 72 hour countdown timer. If 69 hours from now the SNAP situation isn't resolved things will start to get really bad between angry negroes, libtard hysteria and the general effect of no EBT trading hands that fuels a not insignificant portion of the criminal underworld (in particular the drug trade) But that's all Irrelevant, because Nothing is going to happen.

Right, it is absolute corruption. Going back to healthcare, why are customer service surveys a thing in health care? Because a lot of practices were bought out by corporations that don't give a shit about patient care, rather profit. Oh Dr. X got a good rating because he said some drug addicted autogynophile should get unnecessary plastic surgery conveniently in our network of hospitals. Or some whale came in and was pleased that we didn't weigh her 700lb ass because it made her feel good and will recommend this branch of our corporate practices to her other fat whale friends. Money is money, social cost be damned.

Are you even trying at this point? The one ultimately at fault is the socialist congress (Rinos and dems) that legislated that shit

Corpocratic. Either party serves purely the interests of the upper class that funds them, State and People be damned.

Reposting this here not just because I think the wording is a funny faux pas but also, apparently, there's work being done to fund SNAP and other programs without a continuing resolution.

Figured it's relevant. If anyone knows what the particulars are of how this looks, regarding a timeline to funding SNAP, input would be appreciated.

Seems likely that they would figure out some way to continue the bread and circuses. They really don't have a good alternative.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think MREs are actually all that cost effective of a way to feed people. They are for situations where you need to guarantee calorie intake for people that can't be reached by the supply chain for whatever reason.

Anyway, people who do not do any kind of productive work for society should not be fed from the products of the labor of others, and that goes for absolutely anyone. If you absolutely, positively want to keep someone alive who does not contribute to society, then you feed them yourself. You can do so by MREs or a grain dole or a monthly box of corn starch for all I care.

they dont need to be exactly the same as military MREs and if you want to make it even less of a burden you could even find a way to get the people who actually do want to work to work at the MRE manufacturing facility packing and shipping them off wherever we are needed. the whole reason im thinking of MREs in the first place is because my grandparents used to tell me stories of how the poor would often get military surplus rations.

if the complaint is that those who get SNAP often waste it on candy and junk food or sell it for drugs or even buy non food items when they are not allowed then the logical way to solve that is to let the government choose exactly what they eat and how much doing so in the form of an MRE just makes it easier while also adding in some jobs for the people who actually do want to be useful.

that being said this entire issue would not be happening if each state just had their own program. like SNAP to deal with things how they see fit. that way anyone who wants free gibs on taxpayer money can just go swarm the cities and make them worse while the other areas who are against it can focus more on other things.

It is very clear that they either thought the GOP was going to fold or their intention was to fuck with various elections by shutting down the government and the gibs.

the more i read about the entire shutdown the more i think the goal is to push the GOP into being what the far left claims they are. they want the filibuster to be removed entirely by republican hands so that come election time they can fearmonger harder than ever to get control back. which then they will proceed to go crazy passing everything they can until the economy explodes. but hey its not their fault they can just say the republicans did it like they always do.

Anyone visited the stores days before EBT shutdown? Was there a flood of blacks doing their last minute gibs?

Went to Costco and the commissary yesterday, Saw business as usual.

An observation. Have seen dozens of these SNAP-related videos on YT. Most of them star the same dozen or so trolls, of all races, taunting us with the lavish benefits they receive, saying they don't want to work, they want the government to provide for them and their crotch fruit, etc. Have also seen these trolls, of all races, start to bitch, complain, and whine when these benefits are taken away or jeopardized. Yet only the black people consistently threaten to carry out crimes to get food; have never seen anyone of any other race saying such things, and it is always Walmart these people designate as a target, never any other stores. Area I live in is heavily Hispanic, and the local Walmart has done nothing special in the way of security.

The conclusion that can be drawn is if you don't live in an area with a heavily black population, and/or don't go to Walmart, chances are you won't know anything happened, IF anything happens, which I doubt, unless you read the news.

I'll believe it when I see it, there's no way in hell the dems won't just slap all their poison pills into an EBT stopgap appropriation, that'd be letting one of their major sources of leverage go. Shit would have to get politically bad for them before they'd consider it, at which point they might as well admit defeat and just take the barebones CR instead anyway to avoid getting slapped with two defeats.

If and when trump pulls this off, then suddenly the dems have quite literally nothing to stand on. This would not only be a rug pull bigger than all of crypto combined but in political history it would knee cap them for a long time.
 
My dad said that there was a sizable protest in my town (around a few dozen) protesting their gibs being taken away yesterday. There's only a few thousand people and is 95% white.

this probably belongs in a philosophical thread about gibs but I'll put it here: I agree that most women will freely choose to prioritize the domestic sphere over paid work. But there is an obvious consequence of this; financial dependency on one man can easily turn into financial dependency on the community.

This thread is full of angry yapping about how people need to just get off their lazy butts and get jobs. I think many people here are capable of simultaneously holding the two beliefs 1) able bodied adults have no excuse for not working 2) women should care for children and the home and not consider the obvious implications because you all simply don't really think about women and our lives and the realities of not earning your own money in the same context as you think about, well, real people.

Women having to combine fulltime paid work with small children is very hard but what is also extremely unfortunate is middleaged women having to do lowstatus lowpaid work because their husband died, got sick, is no good, etc etc etc, and no amount of years in the home mean anything in public life. It's not just a personal issue, either, women who have raised children who must now earn their own living are now less available to their own families and their communities.

I expect I'll get a lot of responses that those women's children should support them. I don't want to make this comment too long so I'm not going to sperg about how that's not a sufficient answer, I just want to point out that if society is telling me I have to work or I'm garbage that is going to make me very very wary of taking time off work to have children.

This used to be prevented by women staying with their parents until married and the parents having a real input on judging potential husbands. Good parents would prevent those girls from marrying and breeding with trash.

But now we've been solving the problem with EBT, and enjoying the fruits of that (lack of) labor.
