food-stamp americans about to be nuked from orbit. thoughts?
>>519796964Food Stamps was meant for those who needed it, then it got turned into contracts by third parties. Then you had selective approval process that gave it solely to single mother, then the DEI Standards came in and it got overwhelmed.Food Stamps was meant to help and be temporary, but it grew. My only issue is that this is a moral dilemma. Same as with Crack Babies and Mandatory Minimums. The government will not change anything on their end and keep sending Billons to Isreal and their foreign interest. As much as it hurts me to say this it’s just less that citizens will get. Yes Ofc the majority were African Americans but Caucasians did get help. Too many fools fail to see elderly and poor workers relied upon it too.
>>519797552wouldn't soup kitchens solve the same issue and be cheaper? i doubt anybody is going to starve in america any time soon though
I got injured once and my job, and while my job gave me medical leave so I wasn't unemployed, the short term disability that I'd been paying into for nearly a decade refused to cover the time I was hospitalized because theoretically, I could've worked remotely from my hospital bed. The situation crippled my finances for a few months and I actually had to go on emergency EBT for a month.It was humiliating, but it did mean that my family - who I'm the sole provider for - was able to eat. It gave me a renewed appreciation for the fact that even if it is largely a scam, it really is a safety net for people who might just be in temporary crisis.Oh, and the employer was Wells Fargo and the insurance company that fucked me was Lincoln Financial.
>>519797835Yeah but you can't gloat over buying lobster tails then
>>519796964Not going to happen
>>519798177Lobster tails are so overrated. You shouldn't be eating that shit anyway if you're a Christian.

>>519797552Typical pay check to pay check amerimutt
>>519798186can they keep food stamps going without approving a new US government budget for 2026?
>>519796964About time.EBT is a shackle, designed to encourage government dependence.The leeches will starve, and the dependents will be forced to unchain themselves.
>>519798341>but Trump will pussy out.does it depend on Trump? i thought it was a government shutdown thing, and it can't be stop unless they approve a new budget
>>519798491Prior to Trump 2.0 that's how Constitutional Law would've worked yeah. But Trump now has Legislative power and could quite literally Executive Order a new budget tomorrow if he wanted to.
>>519798491But they have always baccked down, (so far) going back years.One day this will happen, but only when the entire system is irreparable, nowhere near that yet. They can bring it for me, I'd love to watch the vids.
>>519796964i'll probably give my dad some extra grocery money. luckily we live in the middle of nowhere so retard riots probably won't reach us
