SNAP, EBT outages reported across the country

Have to see some reaction videos of the dems pets not getting their free stuff immediately.

If it’s anything like the bears in Yellowstone when you run out of food, it’s not a pretty sight.

 

[Moonglow]

Maybe it’s not so bad for them to go to bed a little hungry, and have a HINT of what it would be like in another country where OTHER people don‘t provide you with free food.

God gives us free food all the time.

I understand it came back up in Massachusetts at 1800.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

There are dozens of FB posts in the same vein just in my local FB feed.....I guess so many are on the dole now nobody pays it any mind till the system shits the bed.

"Imagine being a parent and going to get your kids food and the only money you have for the week doesn't work. Yea this is so funny so I guess save the children is off the table now

pathetic"

I have imagined it. That’s why I worked my ass off so it never happened.

It was explained at the time that any meats or frozen items would be tossed.

Bonus to the dumpster divers.

 

[Riff Raff]

Possibly an overload of San Salvadorans, Ecuadorans, Guatemalans, Mexicans, Haitians, Africans and other moochers Democrats invited.

LMAO. Life is sooooo much better when the government feeds you.

This is just the dying throes of a capitalistic economic system.
It is now easier to survive in a rigged system by not working, because the low wages being offered these people no longer pays the bills.
Capitalism depends upon a servant class willing to work for the lowest wages corporations and businesses can get away with paying.
And people used to be able to live a semi "happy" life with these wages. They were able (if they were willing to work hard and save....and maybe sacrifice a bit for a little while) the "American dream" could still be theirs, complete with a home mortgage, automobile, and the means to raise a family.
Heck, it was even possible ( sometimes) to put children through college on those wages.
But not anymore. There are people working two and three jobs and still living below the poverty line; unable to afford rent, transportation, child care, utilities, and still be able to eat. Many hard working people in the U.S. still qualify for assistance.
Don't blame the victims. If you have to blame anyone blame the wealthy who have stacked the deck in their own favor and who have gotten righ off the sweat and labor of the working poor who are now squealing like stuck pigs because workers don't want to be slaves to wages that don't even pay the bills.
This situation is textbook end stage capitalism.
So was the situation we saw at the beginning of the pandemic.

After two straight years of the orange babboon mouthing off non-stop about how "GREAT" and "prosperous" he had made America the shit huts the fan and within a month most Americans needed federal stimulus money to survive because they couldn't work.
That doesn't seem very "prosperous" to me.
So then the question naturally comes up....
WHO the hell was he talkung about?
WHO was enjoying this imagined "prosperity."
It wasn't MOST of America....who were obviously, we found out, living pretty much hand to mouth.
SURPRISE!
The wealthiest 1% of the U.S.
They were making out like bandits!
And again....that's a sure sign of dying capitalism. All the money in the system has been siphoned (trickled?) upwards into the hands of a few while the majority can't even afford to feed itself.

See, capitalism depends upon constant growth....expansion. Forever.
It only works when the economy is "expanding."
We know from nature that nothing can grow (expand) forever.
Eventually it slows down, contracts, and ultimately dies.

It's like the late, great Edward Abbey once said;
Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.

Nah...they dont think like that.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

Go to your local FB feed, I'm sure there are a lot of comments on it now.....Read them to see just how fucked we are as a country.

Here's what happened the last time "The Big One" hit 17 states back in 2013.

​

I worked at a Walmart for a couple years and actually the number of carts looks like a typical day after Christmas when people would return items. Fortunately, 'items' can be resold, Most food can not. That's alot of waste.

While some do actually need gov assistance the vast majority are just lazy ***** who dont want to work.
They need to get rid of EBT cards and set up food distribution points where the poor can come and collect their box of food once a week.
If they dont like it **** em they can starve.

 

[Anathema]

If only we could make those programs permanently “Out of Order”.

I’m with you 100%. American made/grown food. Nutritionally balanced diets. NO foreign cultural diets.

 

[Muhammed]

this is what will start the real zombie apocalypse,,

Go to YouTube and search for Kensington Philidelphia and click on a few of those videos.

The zombie apocalypse is already here!

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

As much as possible, everyone given enough space to grow a significant amount of their own food.

I am just about ready to start a program that will help young needy families learn to grow their own food. It's exciting!

Wonderful idea in areas where people have space and the capability to do so. Most urban/suburban environments don’t necessarily off that type of space.

I've seen one of those. It was hard to believe!

They'd just go out and steal more shit.

I think a social safety net is necessary in a civilized society such as ours. Especially with regards to nutrition.

The food box bullshit to replace the food stamp program is a horrible idea. As someone who was a professional personal trainer and nutritionist, I think it's a really bad idea to let the horribly corrupt government decide what people should eat.

Get real dude, and take that Bolshevik horseshit somewhere else. Nobody's buying what you're selling.

Marxist countries like South Africa and Venezuela are not "failed" capitalist states. And yet they have far more poverty, hunger, crime, violence and corruption.
