EBT Payment Shutdown Thread

[Evan Kor]

I've been saying that if you give it a long enough timeline it will escalate. A couple of stores being out of a bunch of stuff during covid is completely different than cutting off the money tap for welfare queens.
I expect one side to capitulate before we go full EEK EEK, but I definitely think before this is over we should see some small pockets of chimping out in blue cities.

It would be interesting if something ended up happening. If some cops stopped people from feeding the poor, then I could see a riot starting. An unofficial soup kitchen might have shady things going on behind the scenes that would result in police shutting it down. Of course, its all how the cops would handle the situation that would decide if that turns into a riot. One big issue with SNAP is that it kept the poor from congregating with other poor in soup kitchens. A bunch of people dealing with each other all of a sudden could lead to friction especially if everyone involved is in a vulnerable, insecure, position. And people organizing such charity locations probably aren't experienced with dealing with large crowds of prideful - yet insecure - people.

Events could follow this course of events:
1) Food stamps run out.
2) Food banks get swamped.
3) Volunteer food banks or soup kitchens are formed. Soup is easy and cheap to produce in large amounts which makes it very useful for feeding a lot of people as cheaply as possible.
4) Interpersonal conflicts and drug deals end up occurring at these locations.
5) Volunteers don't know how to handle it. Some may even be using the place to sell drugs. Obviously they lack whatever permits they'd need.
6) Police get involved and fuck everything up(as they tend to). They'd be pressured by the local bluebloods who like using the poor as pawns but don't like dealing with them.
7) Radicals and the media fan the flames.

This might get interesting.

Apparently my Aunt is telling me that the grocery stores in her state are offering dinners for $3 or $4 dollars Monday through Friday and kids eat free. I don't think much is going to come of this other than emboldening both sides of the bases and proving to people that if corporate grocery stores are taking care of people better than the government, it just shows how unnecessary most of the government is.
Reckon we're on day 32 or 33 of no government? I haven't felt a fucking THING. My life hasn't changed at all since the shutdown.

"Per capita" The call of the retard.

"According to USDA data from 2024, white people made up around 35% of recipients, while African American people accounted for less than 26% and Hispanic people less than 16%."

shameful display

can anyone confirm the so callled cages being put up in dollar tree? (those weird things with the holes that limit the number of people who can grab stuff)

It's too easy in this forum. We're not exactly dealing with the internets high IQ 'per capita' population.

When there's a giant cake for the entire office to share, and it's cut into 100 slices for the 100 workers, the negroes are each taking two slices without checking with anyone else and about two fifths of the whities are passing on cake altogether. I can see no justification for this violation of the social contract beyond this being the "forty acres and a mule" your great, great, great grandfather was promised, extracted out from The Man over the course of time.

Per Capita is a very relevant statistic, even if it shows some inconvenient truths that you'd like to gloss over. We can discuss how corporate welfare and bailouts are so much more damaging (and thus more pressing to deal with), and that is the appropriate rebuttal to people complaining about drains on our economy. But at some point we are going to ask why that specific community is disproportionately affected by speed bumps in entitlement programs.

Interesting. Non conspiracy take: Its a marketing expense, trying to get rid of perishable stock, which is cheaper than to pay for disposal, having at least some positive cashflow and bolstering brand loyalty.

Spoiler: Conspiracy Take

Its Plan Lolbert in action, the government and political sphere are getting slowly phased out, with the end goal of fusing private economic institutions and political institutions, with the first stage being corporate entities getting the opportunity to show that they are better at organizing food supply and distribution to the poor and stupid than an epistemic community of octogonarians that write top down policy regulations, try to coerce private economic actors with a monopoly on violence and emitting endless uncovered debt liquidity to their cronies

white people made up around 35% of recipients

35% isn't a majority, as has been explained to you far too many times already. Therefore the claim you were applauding and supporting, namely that white people are "the overwhelming majority of recipients" is false. In short, you are an idiot.

The majority of people do not know the difference between majority and plurality.

NPR had a black woman on complaining her kid is going to school to eat the breakfast and lunch at school.

NPR is (well...was?) state-funded propaganda and needs to die

"According to USDA data from 2024, white people made up around 35% of recipients, while African American people accounted for less than 26% and Hispanic people less than 16%."

Whites make up 62% of the US population, so them making up 35% of recipients means whites are underrepresented, while blacks are 13% of the population, but double that in SNAP recipients, and Hispanics make up around 17% of the population, making them a direct match with the demographics of SNAP users.

IDK what you thought your statistics proved, but it just ends up confirming that niggers use welfare more than anyone else, whites pay for it and use it the least, and mexicans are in the middle.

I already tried this with them.

They're still mad their "superior white genes" haven't kicked in yet.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

So if EBT is being paid at half rates and niggers aren't dying in droves, couldn't the government basically go "ok that's the new EBT rates" and save 60 billion a year?

Imagine actually flagrantly displaying what a low IQ you have by being completely incapable of understanding basic math. Where do these tards come from? How do they even operate a computer? Or a phone, I suppose that's more likely.

I'm confused, the math you are quoting seems correct?

We need to frame this or something, per capita is like AP trig to some people my word.

I think it was poor-form quoting (agreeing with the quote without outright saying it by shitting on smoothbrains that think "DIS NUMBAH BIGGA"). @AnOminous is typically based and I give him the benefit of the doubt.
