The freeze on foodstamps isn't what gets me. Because they'll probably resume benefits eventually. What gets me is the ABAWD rule that's about to go into effect. Basically everybody without kids is getting cut off from Nov 1st on.Is there a way for me to get around this?
>>33878495Revolt
>>33878495Bro ATC is going insane rn. It'll end soon enough. Just hold on.
>>33878495There's no sense in banking on relying on this government to do anything good. They'd rather break and piss all over anything the government actually does that's good so that we can send more money to israel and bankroll welfare queen vets who get 40k a year because of hemorrhoids and hay fever.Your best bet is to make good connections at your food bank and a local Food Not Bombs chapter, but private charities will never be able to close the gap completely, especially since they'll be overwhelmed by all the changes cutting people off.
>>33878495No. Some states are stepping in, so check for yours. Otherwise, gotta go to the foodbank or church pantry
>>33878552You forgot the biggest expense: tax cuts for billionaires.
>>33878495Rape?
>>33879398That's any admin though tbf.Well, so is israel bucks and Veteran snowflake gibs.Damn, we're always fucked huh?
>>33878495Stop being poor
>>33878495>Is there a way for me to get around this?Support Democrat candidates
>>33879398The biggest expense is actually the interest payments we make on our national debt. We're about to hit one trillion a year for the interest alone, and with the massive increase in federal spending we've seen this year despite all the cuts. Well. We're cooked.You could take all the assets from every billionaire in the nation and it wouldn't get us close to being out of debt.
>>33880044there's no debt when we have tomahawk missiles loaded with nuclear warhead pointed at every capitol city and every head of state at all times
>>33879853Awesome, I'll keep voting Republican so this keeps happening
50lb bag of rice25lb bag of beans39 bucks total or 13% of one month of snap funds How many cases of hot pockets and soda did you waste yours on, dipshit?The people that are having trouble with this are fucking brainless retards
>>33878552I recognise you from another thread. The fact is, the point of contention between the parties is reinstatement of funding for all the USAID money laundering operations. It's extremely important to Schumer that he keeps getting his "consulting fees" to pay off his new boat.
>>33880179For the people that actually need snap the most (homeless people) rice and beans isn't an option because they don't have anywhere to cook it. Unironically store brand cookies, pop-tarts, and soda are some of the best $/calorie deals you can find. It's definitely not healthy but if you are trying to survive on $8/day without a refrigerator or a stove/microwave this is about the best you can hope for to compliment your peanut butter sandwiches.t. homeless guy who has applied for 113 jobs in the past month
>>33880179>>33880460It's always nice for people that don't know what poverty is like offering so called helpful advice as an excuse to talk down to you.My foodstamps are used for payment for me to have a toolshed to sleep in. The food I eat I fend for myself
>>33880460Sugar and bread does not keep your family alive. You need nutrients. You can't afford the medical care, so you need to ensure they have something that prevents them from getting there.Also poptarts are not cost effective compared to rice. Also if you have either a stove or an electrical outlet you can make rice. A rice maker is like 15 bucks. A big pot to boil water in is like 4 bucks.
>>33880549>$15>no income>outlet>sleeping on the sidewalkYou really are braindead.No income means $0. Not the same as "poor people" supplementing with food stamps. I am talking about people who have LITERALLY no money.
>>33878495The Big Beautiful Bill made changes to SNAP that almost exclusively impact white men between the ages of 50-65. While congressmen scream about the proverbial NEET playing video games while eating Doritos purchased by food stamps, who they really were targeting were late middle age men who have been divorce raped and now live with family, doing minimal random jobs with just enough income to cover basic necessities. The government is very angry these men are no longer in the workforce and wants to starve them out and back onto the taxpayer rolls. They need to have mortgages, car loans, and taking middle age women out for fancy dinners. Peacefully sitting at home, selling a few things on ebay or doing random odd jobs in the neighborhood doesn't keep the economy going. Younger men are seeing their example and adopting this behavior. That's their real crime.
>>33880556I don't have the luxury of living with family. Those guys way better off than me. Losing foodstamps hits me very hard.
>>33880556Literally every single fact you posted is hysterically incorrect.
>>33880559Same bro. I've been walking 10 miles (fueled by sugar) to find food pantries just to be able to live off peanut butter sandwiches. Stealing doordash orders off shelves in restaurants. Begging for day labor work in front of home depot. Filling out applications non stop with all my free time at the library. Haven't showered in months. This entitled retard has no idea what he is talking about.
>>33878495get a job. Not even being an ass. You have no money and the shadow money you did is blocked. get a 9-5
>>33880569Do you know a way to fake work hours or volunteer hours in order to not get cut off?
>>33878495>Ppl losing benefits>Lets run to 4chan for adviceThese are the ppl crying about not being able to take away from your paychecks.
>>33880583Idk bro. My state used to have a work requirement back in the day, but they would accept "proof" that you were looking for work which was basically just a list of 5-10 businesses you (allegedly) applied to every week or so. I don't really know what to expect with the new requirements. I would work if I could, but the economy is a lie and I cant even get a job scrubbing shit in a fast food restaurant.Maybe consider some kind of independent contracting like self employed, cash jobs shoveling snow, even doordash I think doesnt report your hours because they put the burden on you to do it. Not sure how all that shakes out come tax time though.
>>33880605>These are the ppl crying about not being able to take away from your paychecks.They take away from your paychecks either way. When your neighbor becomes hungry and desperate they turn to crime which, in turn, you pay exponentially more for. Prisons, judges, attorneys, post-release supervision etc., Poor people are sicker, therefore take up more Medicaid and disability, which you pay for. Letting people in your community become impoverished and hungry costs 10x more than the food stamp program, compounded over the course of generations. Of course, the conservative ethos being "Fuck you, I've got mine" I understand why you've never considered any of what I'm saying before. Immediate cruelty over long-term benefit, always.
>>33878495In high school I had no money and no job, literal broke other than the $20 a week my folks gave me. Some weeks I made that $20 last 5 days. Yall are stupid as fuck, instead of eating and living light, you morons blew through all your shit with fast food and dumb things like booze and weed and games. You live within your means. When I lost my job last year I instantly stopped all bullshit that didnt help me because EDD was paying out 900 a month and I have bills and yet I'm hearing of SNAP benefits paying more than that and ppl still cant hack it? Truly sad.
>>33880621Lol short-term thinking retards at work. They think the only argument is "Oh think of the humanity, don't these people deserve a fair chance at life and food and healthcare?" But they are too fucking stupid to realize that the alternative costs them even more.
>>33880620These are what the upcoming requirements are supposed to be. You see aa way to work around this?https://www.propel.app/snap/snap-work-requirements-full-guide/
>>33880633Idk wtf you are even talking about. snap doesnt pay for fast food, booze, weed, or video games. Yes, career welfare moms making $5k/mo are your enemy. Me getting $290/mo in food is about the cheapest possible solution for the tax payer. See my earlier comments about surviving on $8/day.
>>33880621I am a perfect example of this. I would work if I could. Nobody will hire me. If I can't afford to eat, my next best option is to steal food. When they hire more security and have the cops stand guard outside, i'm going to start breaking into cars and houses to find shit I can sell for food money. Ok then crack down on crime says the conservative? Great, how much do you pay those cops? How much does it cost to keep me in jail? Where does that money come from? All that could've been avoided and you don't even have to be a bleeding heart liberal. You can actually think of it from a selfish perspective. Which one costs you more? It's the easiest calculation of all time.Similar to tax dollars paying for roads and education. What is the cost to you of that compared to living in a society where everyone around you is a fucking retard and everything goes back to the speed of horse and carriage? It's not hard to figure out which is the better deal.
>>33880253>mistakes me loathing migger desire to burn everything to the ground as an endorsement of democrat fortune seekersBrainwashed chimpanzee
>>33880727Consider suicide
>>33880684You gotta remember that the conservative ethos is based on a strict regimentation of society, not any actual tangible benefit. Being compassionate may cost less money but its the compassion part they take issue with, not the money. Seeing as how right-wing politicians and talking heads have beaten the meritocracy myth into their voters heads they've all been convinced they're temporarily embarrassed millionaires - that food and money and housing are rewards for being a good person and homelessness, mental illness and drug abuse are punishments for being a bad person. Only GOOD people deserve to have food and live in houses and anybody who doesn't have those things must be BAD. Its the perfect corporate mechanism to get people to actively destroy their own communities so that they can feel superior to their poor neighbor. It convinces anxious rural white folk who make 25k a year to buy Trump shoes and cologne and Alex Jones tactical supplements.
>>33880044>muh national debtDumbass, that’s a tribute system. It’s not intended to be paid back. The entire basis of most economies is USD as fiat, which is backed by the US military’s capacity to glass the planet several times over. You should be much more concerned with this admin’s insistence on ushering in a century of humiliation by gutting our soft power and social safety programs instead of “muh debt.” That’s what will ultimately kill the economy. See what >>33880053 said.
>>33880684They're never going to understand. They were born into lives were everything was given to them. Like Trump. They think because they had it easy that life is easy for everybody else. They have no conception of what real struggle is. And they think because they spent their allowance on beer and ate rice for a week cooking it in an apartment their parents are paying their rent for that they know what it's like. And they think "just buy rice" is some mindblowing revelation secret cheat code to make it through poverty.
>>33878495Maybe try getting a fucking job
>>33880646Details are probably gonna vary on a state by state basis. But getting exempt is probably the way a lot of people are going to go. Some states are pretty lax with the qualifying disabilities, including depression and stress.But I would also keep an eye on the "areas with high unemployment". That could be pretty common depending on how they measure unemployment. And even more so when even more people lose their jobs to AI in the near future.
>>33880774>They're never going to understand. They were born into lives were everything was given to them. Like Trump.I disagree. A lot of rural communities who have been abandoned by their economy and government were born with nothing - they were just convinced by billionaires to blame their problems on minorities instead of the corporations that left them to rot. Its a consolation prize for being economically and socially destitute - I may be poor and living in an abandoned rust belt hellhole but at least I'm WHITE and CHRISTIAN and so long as there's a class of people below me I get to bully around I won't turn my attention to the oligarchs that are bullying me.
>>33880605I would rather my taxes be spent feeding people (don’t even care what they eat) than a single cent going to Israel or a guy whose ass hurts from sitting at his desk on the army base for 5 years.
>>33880783>>33880633>>33880605>>33880580>>33879800Here is my inbox for the account I made 1 month ago specifically for applying for jobs and nothing else. Any other ideas?
>>33880737Why? I’m not poor. I’ve got enough food on my plate. I’ve got a nice apartment and gf. And I’m not some bitter brainwashed faggot sucking off israel and willing to throw the baby out with the bath water to destroy anything even slightly good the government does because I’m scared the “wrong people” might skim off the top.
>>33880787I don't think so. Those people are on foodstamps as well and they don't vote. It's the people that come from middle and upper class backgrounds that kick down the hardest.
>>33880816Fuck actually 2 months ago
>>33880817Kill yourself
>>33880825Pass
>>33880817Who said I support Israel? lol
>>33880834Whether or not you think that in your micro political climate you support Israel, if you’re in favor of eroding social programs under the current conditions, you are doing legwork for Israeli lobbies.
>>33880860I'll gladly do legwork for Israeli lobbies if they want to gut all social funding
>>33880870Case in point
>>33880860>if you don't want gibsmedats you're a jewlol
>>33880870
>>33880860Get a fucking job nigger
>>33880883Read the thread retard. I am an intelligent white man who up until recently was paying taxes and productively contributing to the economy. You're not hurting niggers because snap isn't fucking shit compared to welfare which NOBODY IS TOUCHING, not to mention they have no problem robbing you to get their gibs. All you are doing is turning people like me into people like them. Is that the goal? So fucking stupid.
>>33880883Not a Jew. Just a useful idiot who thinks because the “wrong people” get food gibs there should be no safety net and all that money will instead go to Israel and VA welfare queens.>>33880892I’m not on food stamps and have a job. Other people are not so lucky.
>>33880900>You're not hurting niggers because snap isn't fucking shit compared to welfare which NOBODY IS TOUCHINGThe snap budget is much bigger than aid to Israel you dumb niggerNeither should exist
>>33880911Snap budget goes directly back into the US economy. 100% of it. What do we get from the jews again?
uh oh melty
>>33880911Post your address. I will come show you exactly why snap is a good idea.
>>33880821>Those people are on foodstamps as well and they don't vote.They vote Republican like clockwork. Rural white people without college education are the largest population of Republican voters in the country.
>>33880911>SNAP is spent on US goods and businesses>SNAP allows US laborers and children to receive additional food and nutrition>Israel bucks subsidize their own social safety net and permit them to bomb random browns 24/7
>>33878495
>>33880787>>33880821And you may be wondering why rural counties are so organised to be anti welfare. It's the boomers. They're a silver spoon generation and are now retired with multiple pension. And there is a slice of these populations that are middle and upper class that are against welfare the same as boomers.Poor rural white people aren't against welfare if they can get on it. Times like now are when they're targeted to get cut off. And they're not voting anyway. They're suspicious that the government is targeting them to deny benefits and they're right. They have a suspicion that the government wants welfare benefits to go to minorities and not to them.
>>33880929>Kick out all the mexicans>Starve all the people willing to clean toilets and wash dishes>Muh 1st world
>>33880749I don't understand how you can say this when we're spending more on repaying these debts than we are on our military
>>33880953What do you think would happen if the US defaulted on the national debt
>>33880923You just want to attack poor white people. I told you're they're not voting. The boomers that are well off come out to vote in huge numbers. The age of the average voter in America is 58. The age skews even higher in rural communities
>>33880556>>33880559Reminder that the Big Beautiful Bill made significant changes to SNAP, almost all aimed at men 50-65 who don't have children at home. Men in that age band should be at their peak taxpaying. Many have been divorce raped, have adult children that were turned against them by their mothers (or no children at all), and have been brow beaten out of their profession by HR karens and swams of immigrants turning everything into ethnic hives. So those men have started checking out.This angers the establishment. Those men are relied on to run businesses and pay taxes. They meant to keep things running competently. The many roadblocks that have been put in front of them simply don't factor into this demand for them the maintain the burden of responsibility for keeping society going.That they've reduced themselves into a lower energy level where they're buying very little and making very little for the government and society to "reallocate" is seen as an existential threat. It's also why Eglin is working overtime with the food stamp threads, trying to convince everyone it's about 19 year old black girls selling their EBT cards for crack and not about trying to stave late middle age men back onto the plantation.
>>33878495I feel like if you're a grown man or woman and you can't even do the basic job of feeding yourself, maybe you don't deserve to live.
>>33880995What if you went broke supporting an abusive narcissist and had to become homeless as a last ditch effort to escape with your life?
Time to put fries in the bag bro
>>33881007What if you lost your job in a round of lay-offs due to "restructuring" caused by AI and are now competing with thousands of other people in the same position for an even smaller amount of jobs?
>>33880961>>33880923And I'm one these people and I've known thousands. Poor white people from poor backgrounds under the age of 65 do not vote. I've not known a single that meets these qualifiers that votes. It's only when they're boomers that they vote or think they're middle class.They're so disillusioned that the government is going to do anything to help them that is thought of voting is a joke. These are some of the most powerless and disenfranchised people in America and you want to blame them.
>>33881029Don’t forget you’re also competing with thousands of dramatically laid off federal employees.
>>33881025I applied to 8 different local fast food restaurants and haven't had a single reply from any of them.All these retards living in their parents basement and getting their news from the tv have no idea what the actual state of the economy is
>>33881033I applied to a dunkin donuts that had a sign in the lobby saying they were hiring. I spoke with the manager and she said "No no hire". Whole building was full of fucking pajeets. Not sure if hiring sign was a scam or that bitch was just racist against whites. Either way get them the fuck out of here.
>>33881060File an EOCC complaint against these business. and say you were racially discriminated in hiring and don't state your race on the form.It'll be a huge headache for those street shiiters
>>33881007>>33881029>>33881031If you absolutely 100% need money now or you'll starve need a job, the Checkers down the road in my city pays daily. I don't understand the problem; I have to work for my food, why shouldn't you?
>>33881163Where do you live
>>33881163>I can't read and I am totally out of touch with reality
>>33881188New Orleans>>33881277The retard two houses down from where I live literally works there. Are you less capable?
>>33881163Mother fucker you act like I never worked before. I paid taxes for 20 fucking years. And now that I expect to get a return on that investment in my time of need due to the government failing to sort the fucking economy out, I get told to get fucked? Fuck America. Seriously. How do I join the Houthis?
>>33881322Yeah and walmart employs 80 year olds, motherfuckers with one eye and one arm, fat cunts that take 30 mins to waddle across the store, and literal fucking retards. What the fuck does that have to do with the fact that their HR dept wont even acknowledge my application?
>>33881326So have I. Only difference is I always knew no one gave a fuck and wasn't coming to save me. When I lost my job last year, I spent every single day busting my ass on apps and living light cause I knew EDD and everyone else doesn't give fuck when bills are due. You can call it luck but I didn't sit on my ass on a vacation or a woe is me or even on some mental illness horseshit, even with a slight pay cut I still give myself more credit than you idiots who are now upset that the leopard is eating your face. Never once in my goddamn life did I want govt assistance, shits embarrassing especially if you're a man like you claim
>>33881341Please kill yourself.>>33880816
>>33881341>it’s embarrassing to want an ROI on the social safety net you personally paid in toIt’s much more embarrassing to willingly bend over and get fucked in the ass each year by the tax collector and NOT exploit every single government benefit you qualify for. Deeply deeply Buckbroken.
>>33881326You worked 20 years and don't have any savings? Sounds like your problem, champ. I'm not paying to keep you afloat.>>33881331>I've applied literally everywhere and no one will hire meI simply don't believe you. And frankly if you're that undesirable, you don't have anyone who will support you, and you don't have any ways to make money by yourself, I don't think you deserve to live.
>>33881391>>33881007This is me btw. I had six figures in the bank and stocks. I had 800 credit. I had a business plan to leverage that money. Some fucking cunt took advantage of me and destroyed my life. You can say that was my fault for letting it happen but that would just prove you know nothing about abusive relationships. Sometimes shit happens to people. That's the fucking point of these programs.I'm not asking for your money. I'm asking for MY money. You being in fucking denial because "I don't believe you" doesn't change the fucking reality of the economy in this country. And it's only going to get worse.
>>33881391>I'm not paying to keep you afloat.>Implying the government won't keep taxing you the same amount whether or not they are paying out snapWhat is it like to be this big of a cuck?
>>33881472ikr. >i would much rather have the tax surplus go to govt salaries and foreign nations instead
>>33881391It’s one of the worst times in living memory to be a job seeker.
Pay $100bn to feed niggers, neets, and homelessorPay multiples of that for cops and military to keep them from looting your white suburban supermarkets and keeping them imprisoned where you will still have to pay to feed them anyway.This is why math skills are so important. Honestly. The political brainwashing has you guys acting like complete retards. It's not hard to figure out.
>>33881472Lol>>33881521Feels like you people say that every year. I just got a new job this year.
>>33881537Guess it's not really that hard of a choice if you can just decide to not pay the military though. Seems like they thought of everything.
>>33881545>my experiences are universal Low IQ. I also got a job this year. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna call everyone else crazy and ignore the writing on the wall.
>>33881030>Poor white people from poor backgrounds under the age of 65 do not vote. I've not known a single that meets these qualifiers that votesThat's a great opinion but all exit polls and voting data shows the opposite.>These are some of the most powerless and disenfranchised people in America and you want to blame them.If you read and comprehended anything I wrote you would know I blame politicians and corporations for manipulating poor populations into blaming their problems on each other.
>>33881577Poor white guy under the age of 65 here who doesn't vote because he is smart enough to understand that Democrats and Republicans are a sham diversion and the Amazons Walmarts Exxons Boeings Pfeizers and Citadels etc are the real powers that be.
>>33881595>Poor white guy under the age of 65 hereSure. Exit polls and voting data still shows that middle aged white adults without college degrees overwhelmingly vote Republican. The assertion that this population doesn't vote is factually incorrect.
>>33881577Rural counties skew elderly. Elderly are the largest voting demographic by far, therefore exit polls skew their direction. It's not difficult to understand this. If a district is 70% boomer the exit polls are going to go the way boomers vote
>>33881604>middle aged white adults without college degrees overwhelmingly vote RepublicanThese are boomersPoor white people are not voting at all. Not for R, D, o else. They are not voting at all, and are not even registered to vote
