EBT Payment Shutdown Thread

[Particle Bored]

the thing that pissed me off is when i read about how the newer models of john deere farming equipment are so filled with electronics that you cannot even fix them on your own you have to take them to a licensed repair place and are just fucked till then. oh and if you try to fix it yourself you can get fined because its somehow illegal.

I met a guy at work a couple months ago that worked servicing farm equipment. I asked him if he can hack them so they don't need their updates or software licenses or whatever. He just smiled and said "no comment."

Trump really didn't have a choice. If he appealed, Democrats would be playing that loop for the midterms. The saving grace is they're only getting half of what they'd get.

so all these farmers who people claim are crazy rich more often than not are spending most of the money they make from crops on machines they might not even fully own. the only actually rich farmers are the ones who sell their businesses to large companies and thats usually only a thing for meat like chickens and cattle.

its not like the old days of farming where you can just grow some fruits and veggies and sell them and rake in the money the amount of regulations are psychotic to a degree that feels almost like they want less farmers so they can replace them with lab grown food or some other slop.

Too bad trump is a corpo dick rider, cause the FTC should be making rules to stop that kind of shit.

This is the kind of shit i am with Louis Rossmann on, the fact that you can purposely make your product impossible for third-parties to repair is insane.

They totally know how to hack that shit lol, they just dont want to advertise the fact that they do, or theyd get served with papers the next week.

They can. Louis Rossmann has done a bunch of videos on specifically John Deere and their illegal, anticompetitive practices.

Checking in, how's everyone doing since they paused EBT? If your state hasnt gone through a loophole.

If you can’t make eggplants tasty, that’s a skill issue for you.

No it isn't. They just suck.

Look at any eggplant recipe. Now take out the eggplant and replace it with literally anything else. Instant improvement.

I stopped qualifying months ago anyways.

I'm not gonna nig out about it, my financial situation isn't fantastic but considering the sort of characters who abuse the shit out of it to buy Yellow #3 goyslop makes it easier to distance from faint association.

Slight powerlevel but yeah thing's are fine. I originally took them on as taxation is theft and it's my money anyway so when it got yoinked right on back for whatever reason...I understand it's all in the game. It's helpful for sure but like, its not the end of the world.

problem is the dems refuse to agree to anything that is anything less that giving them everything they want. they have nothing to lose at this point until 2028 and in classic democrat fashion they will use the poors as weapons as long as possible while claiming its the right that made them do it. i do agree with you that it is the job of the GOP to renegotiate however its a rather hard task to negotiate with people who have no reason to appeal to any form of common decency or decorum because they know they can just use the media to spin everything into "wow those 4 years sure were awful and thats why we need a blue wave and even more immigrants and if you dont agree you are hitler"

You wouldn't be insinuating that politicians are playing politics are you?

What we are dealing with here is food and while there is good reason to squarely point the finger at the Dems, it's also important to highlight a catered Great Gatsby party, a new $200 Million Ballroom, A new Whitehouse Bathroom.

Politics aside (regardless of whether you agree with food stamps or not) kids are the one's that are going to be sent to school hungry.

No change, have never gotten SNAP or EBT in my life.

Took a quick stop at the nearby Walmart on my break. Full disclosure, my area has far more NASCAR-Americans than Basketball-Americans. Also I understand we're potentially in the early stages of this. But still.

Nothing happened.

If anything will happen, I was expecting at least a week or two before we start seeing issues. People will probably try to stretch things out (payday loans, credit cards, etc.) to help stem the bleeding, but that's going to dry out too.

At no point in human history did family farms "rake in the money". They got by.

i went to wally world today and there were no nigger riots or militiamen guarding the facility. did /pol/ lie to me?

Too cold out for nigger rioting in most of the country. If you look at the past million nigger riots, they take place exclusively between mid April and mid October.

Monkeys don't tolerate climate outside of their natural habitat.

Paid my mortgage on time, have a fridge and pantry full of groceries, and all of my utilities running just fine. Because I'm a productive human being and not a simian that needs to be taken care of by the taxpayers.

I also live in an area where EBT usage is pretty much non-existent.

Not to mention the nine-figure “donation” by an “””anonymous party””” to pay military wages, which, even if that check was stamped all over with “FOR FOOD FOR ARMED SERVICES FAMILIES ONLY” and co-signed by the twelve Apostles, I wouldn’t believe that’s where it went

So they will fund it but uh…

Delayed payments​

Though the USDA will provide guidance on the partial payments to states on Monday, the agency noted that recipients in some states may not see their November benefits for weeks – or even months, Patrick Penn, the USDA official, told the court.
The partial payments will require states to reprogram their systems to adjust for the reduced allotments, which could prove complicated.

“Given the variation among State systems, some of which are decades old, it is unclear how many States will complete the changes in an automated manner with minimal disruption versus manual overrides or computations that could lead to payment errors and significant delays,” Penn said.

thing about that is that many schools as far as i am aware have meal programs not connected to food stamps at all that provide kids with free or reduced price lunch and breakfast. many schools also allow parents to prepay for lunches and considering how the most basic school lunch usually costs about 1.75 (at least in my experience) its not really hard to feed children if they are going to school. now during summer and winter break? yeah that could be an issue but again most states have some type of program to assure those children get fed during the times school is out.

Regardless of what you think of the Dems and GOP, this shit is image poison for the GOP. Right now, more voters are blaming the GOP (52%) than the Dems (42%). It doesn't matter to voters that what is going on with the White House is privately funded (and on a different scale, the entire renovation could fund food stamps for maybe a day or two).

It's terrible optics. Building a $200M ballroom at the same time that food stamps are being cut (for the record, they should be cut, food stamps are an antiquated relic from the Depression and have no business being used today) is going to be a big, big, BIG weapon for the Dems to use for the midterms in one year. It literally does not matter whether it really is or is not the Dem's or GOP's fault. What matters is that voters are seeing it as the GOP's fault, and the GOP being so wildly opulent during a time that shit is being shut down and cut is going to be bite really bad in the upcoming midterms. That basically makes the Dem platform right there.

They could much easier get away with this by focusing on the deficit (something curiously gone completely unmentioned since the DOGE implosion) but no, they're spending their time renovating the White House into a presidential palace. They're giving the Dems a noose and putting their neck in it unnecessarily. Just put it on hold until the budget gets passed.

It'll be forgotten in a week, maybe 2. It's performative outrage from a bunch of retarded niggers.

Every single thing is actually the end for trump, for real this time, in the mind of the far left faggot. Remember Iran? Nobody does.
