Day 2: nobody's starved

[fncceo]

SNAP benefits "aka the gravy train" came to an end yesterday (at least, the federally funded benefits did). States have had to step up and perhaps - will even have to eliminate a bit of their bureaucracy in order to keep payments flowing.

As best I can tell:
1. Nobody has starved yet (despite doom and gloom predicted from the democrats)

2. Chuck Schumer is still responsible for this government shutdown.

However, sales of Grape Soda and Extreme Nacho Doritos have plummeted to record lows.

Orange dank futures have hit rock bottom.

It is in our kitchen and has been for about 50 years.

Wife has two, one that was passed down and a much newer one from an estate sale.

If that is what you got from my post, you really REALLY need to join a lot of your comrades here in a good remedial reading comprehension course. Hope you're having a really lovely day though.

Yup. I think that I got it right. I don;t need help with reading comprehension, You need help with critical thinking and honesty. All that you've done here is minimize and deny what is happening to people who can't afford enough food without help. You should be ashamed but I suspect that you lack the self awareness or empathy to understand why,

Now you talk with logic. You show no concern for the slaves who build products for us overseas yet show militant compassion for the illegals who come here. Without orders we would convert to being those slaves at a much lower standard of living.

NOW you're concerned about offshoring?

Welcome to the party kid.

You're kinda late....

Evolution is a harsh mistress.

Get rid of SNAP.

But then Crackle and Pop would be lonely!

Get rid of SNAP.

You're wanting to get rid of snap...thats a very "rice-ist" thing to say!

Snap has been holding them back.

Hopefully states will start beefing up their emergency funds because I believe this kind of dumb-fuckery by the vile dems will be the norm as long as Trump is in office.

Or, just say **** it and return it to the producers of their state instead of having to spend 214M a month on deadbeats (like Virginia is doing) till Schumer and the vile dems pull their heads out their ass.

I'd not mind my share of Virginia's 5 billion rainy day fund.

I wonder if the states (like Virginia) that kept SNAP whole during the vile dem/Schumer shutdown will have to sue to get their money back?

Why do you all pretend to care about spending?! Trump has done nothing but balloon the debt. You can’t support him and also act like you care about gov spending. It’s not believable

That was my mom who learned to cook during the Depression. She could come to my house or that of another family member and we would think we needed to go to the store to get something to prepare for dinner. She would say let me look in the kitchen. And she would invariably find plenty--a sleeve of soda crackers, canned veggies, a couple of slices of bacon or whatever--and the next thing we knew it was all repurposed into a delicious hot meal on the table.

Blessed are those who can manage brilliantly with very little.

My mom too, God Bless her.

Nobody starves in 2 days, kid.

If they made better decisions in life it wouldn't be a concern.

Conservatives have been doing this for years well before Trump even came along.

People that get 2K a month in EBT should have a stockpile that lasts several months. No rxcuse.

In California its a $950 limit. How someone shoplifts that much is beyond me. Unless they make multiple trips or have big-ass pockets.

They should make it a thousand dollars
easier to loot it, steal it, return it.
And then deduct it from your income taxes.

Soon it will be a waste of time to Loot
Just thousand dollars worth of shtiff.

Inefficient mob looting should be a crime.

True, and they should still be confronted about it

Your hatred of poor people is most impressive. Jesus would be proud.

I celebrated the end of SNAP benefits by eating a large pizza last evening.

What kind?

Sad.
