More specifically, why are fast food prices artificially increased because they're being subsidized by your tax money?
If they don't pay for one thing they'll pay for something else and then you'll complain that the price of that other thing is too high as a result
>>538964602>If they don't pay for one thingYou mean like basic necessities like vegetables EBT was designed for?Moron.
>>538964512lobbyists write the laws.
>>538964512Blacks are always greedy, always taking more than they put in, and always quick to assume others are as rotten as they are.
satanic miggers hate when people are well fed
>>538964715Sure, or anything else>But these vegetables were on a hamburger and that's unacceptableI'd ask why but there's no point, you'll just keep complaining no matter the situation
>>538964512>Why is EBT allowed to pay for fast food?it's not.
>>538964812>this lettuce was on a Big Mac so it should be EBT eligible Kill yourself retard.
>>538964844You are grossly uneducated. EBT is eligible on all fast food.
>>538964922Maybe it depends on the state, but I have never ever seen that.
>>538964512>why are fast food prices artificially increasedI mean that's simply not true kek. Otherwise you would find that fast food in the US is much more expensive than in other countries, yet it is not. Your healthcare on the other hand is kek.EBT is spread among thousands of products thus the effect on price is negligible in most cases
>>538965111>higher demand doesn't increase pricesLet me guess, you failed econ101 3 times?
>>538964512because ur country is raped by corporations
>>538964715They shouldn't be getting any money. Give them canned beans and uncooked rice, and require them sign up for the army or to kill themselves.
>>538964512A lot of the people who get it are really disabled. cooking isn't easy for them
>>538964922only nine states participate in SNAP's RMP program you absolute nigger faggot
>>538965158To be fair, unironically on stuff like food, if EBT didn't exist, a LOT of food would be thrown away. I actually work at a grocery store and many people use EBT. At the end of the month, there's NO ONE. I even mark down apples or cucumbers to 50 cents each/per pound some times, and we still end up having to throw so much of it away.It doesn't help either that much of produce already arrives rotten in some cases.
>>538965387All 50 states participate in SNAP and use it to pay for fast food you stupid retard.
>>538964512>1.67 oh, no!!I dont really fucking care, if it lets kids eat.
>>538964512I really don't give a fuck because we're all slaves to capital and this shit is all fake. Let them buy drugs and guns with EBT
>>538965158>>538965411But if NO ONE buys the product, then the store loses business and is less efficient, which actually RAISES prices because we have to cover so many losses.
>>538965445Texas does not participate in the USDA Restaurant Meals Program, so SNAP EBT benefits generally cannot be used to buy hot, prepared meals at fast food restaurants
>>538964745you just described everyone with poop colored skin. they're all like that
>>538965445Lol. I have NEVER seen that. You can't even buy a rotisserie chicken in my state with it, so definitely not McDonald's...
>>538964715>vegetableslol, you're showing your historical illiteracy againVegetables and fruits were always the lowest priority for subsidized food for those needing welfare.
>>538965582Pic related
>>538964512It is modern free grain doles for plebs so they don't burn down the Coliseum. But they still do. kek
>>538965158Where's the empirical proof EBT has raised prices of fast food in the US? It should be simple to prove given you can get the prices of US fast food relative to purchase parity and compare them to countries without EBT.The point is simple, the increase in demand is negligible thus basically imperceptible to the consumer in price level. It's quite easy to understand, if 100 people start demanding more fast-food that wont make US fast food prices go up because the effect is negligible. Hope you can make it to econ 102 some day
>>538965606That was top tier cheese, people on welfare were eating better than I was as a kid.
>>538965546>I don't go outside therefore it's not happening You're peak retard
>>538964922not here, dildoface
>>538965867Only in select states, not in most states
>>538965023here in CA we have embrings in all the boomers treating their grandkids on the weekends
>>538965908The program also has strict requirements. You basically have to be disabled or homeless, the idea being they can't easily prepare their own meals
>>538964512
>>538965908Who cares? You're paying for it to be subsidized through your taxes, which is raising prices in all states. Why are you defending this shit?
>>538965023It's a relatively new thing.There's also this weird thing that I only discovered not too long ago, where some places will sell you a pizza, then charge you $2 to cook it. I was on a motorcycle trip through the middle of nowhere in michigan, called ahead so it would be ready by the time I got there, and then encountered that bullshit.>it's policy that we don't cook this until the cooking fee is paid.
>>538966096>Why are you defending this shit?1. If you want to win an argument, you can't be disingenuous.2. Most people on EBT work, so they are essentially just receiving a bit of their taxes back3. Even so, the American government gives businesses many goodies, much more than what Shaniqua even gets. You should be angry at the Musks, the Bezos that got rich from government subsidies
>>538966295>2. Most people on EBT workHahahaha holy fucking shit >About 28% of SNAP (EBT/food stamps) households had earned income from work in FY 2023 (latest detailed USDA data).
>>538966336>In FY 2023, adults aged 18–59 made up the largest share of SNAP participants (42 percent), followed by children (about 39 percent) and adults aged 60 and older (19 percent).
>>538966437Idk what liberal propaganda shithole you get your numbers from but mine is from the usda
Has any place ever tried a version of EBT that ONLY can be used at restaurants?
>>538964512Fake and Gay.McDonalds sells bags of ice that can be purchased with EBT. Look at the receipt, it's 1.69.
>>538966705>Same sourceIt says that only 42% of the recipients are working age
>>538967112Your source says nothing about working income. You already lost this argument and you don't even know it.
>>538964512Amazon accepts ebt
>>538965506Produce, bakery, deli and sometimes seafood are loss leaders in grocery stores. They exist to get customers in the store and hungry to buy other food.You don't raise your price to cover losses. If you actually look at your department you likely make 2% or less of the entire store's weekly profit. Bakery typically is the next lowest or sometimes lower. They have a lot of waste too but it needs more people staffed at more hours than produce needs to run.
>>538964512The only people that should be able to pay for fast food are homeless people with no way to actually prepare food. It's called the 'Hot Meals' Program.But case workers are fucking retarded so they give regular assholes that by mistake.
As someone who works full time and cooks at home at least 5 days a week I would be stoked to have EBT. I had it briefly and it was rad. I was working from home in 2022 so I offered to take help care of my Grandfather and signed up for a govt program called IHSS (In Home Support Services) they allotted my grandfather 38 hours per week to have me help him with daily household tasks like cleaning and feeding him and administering his prescriptions. The state paid me minimum wage which I didn't really need but I used that money to take him out to eat and buy him stuff from the pharmacy and Target and shit like that. Tried to make his final lonely days a little more comfortable. If you are part of the IHSS program you are automatically approved for EBT and basic health care. I only took advantage of it for a couple of months but never once considered using EBT at a fast food restaurant. That sounds so niggerish to me. Anyways, if you ever get stuck taking care of an aging boomer I recommend signing up for IHSS. Would you rather that money go to a Spic? Coon? Jeet? Or Armo?
>stop spending Israel's money on fast food!If miggers really wanted to save money for taxpayers, they'd have used coat hangers to tear their mulatto grandchildren from their daughters' wombs before they could become a burden on society.
>>538964922>>538964922https://youtu.be/xLTTX35LNJo>>538964512Rainbow on Labrea, you can buy you some clothes.Which liquor store take the EBT card?It's FREE, SWIPE YO EBT!
>>538964715ghetto people don't cook vegetables though, they just want to eat goyslop and look at their phones
>>538964512Back to Facebook, grandpa
>>538967627We used to actually sell a lot of produce. Now it gets all thrown away practically. It's been like that for the past few months, a weird change.
>>538964745you think the black are writing the laws? dummy.
>>538965734Econ deez nuts.You don't even know if that faggot is right or wrong.Shut the fuck up retard. No one cares about college courses. This is the internet bitch.Captured markets always force price hiking, when the funding comes from Federal sources.If you went to college, you'd fucking understand that, retard, as soon as you go to buy a fucking textbook.
>>538964512>>538964602>fast food? why not a grocery store?>frozen entrées? why not canned food?>canned beans? why not dry beans?>dry beans? why cant we just give them 1 bean and let them grow the rest themselves?
>>538964512some EBT people also get a cash amount on their card, id assume it has something to do with that>t. sells nigs black and milds via ebt cash
>>538964745>always taking more than they put inimplying asians and whites actually contribute anything meaningful at their office jobs
>>538967912What's an Armo?
>>538964844>>538964922>>538965023It's the Ready Meals Program. Here in California, I'm pretty sure you have to be homeless to qualify. Otherwise - they figure you have a kitchen and can cook your own damn food. I had EBT for 3 months but wasn't homeless and could not use it for fast food.I faintly remember people using EBT back around 2011 to buy alcohol - because you were able to withdraw cash against your EBT balance.
>>538965516And even if your state has Restaurant Meals Program - there's certain qualifications. As I mentioned - some states require you are homeless.
>>538964512Humans should be forced to grow, hunt their own food. Grocery stores & restaurants should be illegal.
>>538969290yeah why don't people grow their own food anymore?>lol I'm gonna live in a concrete wasteland and be dependent on handouts XD
>>538964512Everything subsidized by the government gets an increase in price. Everything. There's a reason your great grandparents could work a part time job and pay for their college tuition, buy a house, a car or two, and afford a family on a single income and you'll never pull that off. Government kept getting more and more involved in all of those areas.
>>538965734Fast food prices vary across the world due to numerous factors, we can't just make straight up comparisons and attribute it to one factor. Basic economics says any demand will contribute. EBT may be a drop in the bucket, but every drop counts towards the total. https://www.supermarketnews.com/finance/food-stamp-expansion-linked-to-15-spike-in-grocery-prices
Why shouldn't they be?It's food. That's what EBT is for.
>>538964512more interestingly, why does EBT even exist when the 13th amendment effectively bans it.
>>538969779The role of government in these areas is to prevent collapses of status quo, which in turn prevents fundamental problems from being solved. Student loan debt is a fantastic example. It could all be fixed by just nuking the federal student loan programs and nuking direct federal funding of universities/colleges, forcing them back into charging affordable tuitions for decent educations by refusing to paper over the gap between what students can afford and what colleges charge. But that fix would require;>Many years, possibly a decade of recalibration as the market adjusts>At least one lost generation as kids get lost in the shuffle>Many institutions die forever, unpredictable which ones, randomly taking with them decades/centuries of institutional knowledge>College towns also unpredictably collapse along with their colleges>Cultural expectations have to adjust to not include college as a life milestone and not blame the kids for not going (harder than it sounds)A politician in a democratic republic is going to be real uneasy about attaching his name to that process, no matter how good it would be long term, and no matter how unbearable the duct-tape solution is.And no I don't think you could do it slowly, it'd be hard enough to do it quickly. That's a Prohibition level culture change and you can only really do that by blitzkrieg, writing it in a way that no one can easily repeal it in time to prevent change.
>>538965334Ask me how I know you're Jewish and not because of the food take
>>538964512because salt, fat and sugar are part of the nigger food pyramid. educate yoself bigot
>>538970295I'll throw in another hurdle; the universities are full of unnecessary admin staff. A few years back they took a look at Stanford. There was one person on staff for every student. That's how bloated the government jobs program is in our university system. Look at the shit fit they threw when DOGE tried to cut government jobs. It would be even worse if they went straight at 'academia'.
>>538969378Every single restaurant is overloaded with whites same goes with many other essentials down to mechanics, to see a black person is like an event rarer than possibly a hurricane. Every fucking trucker is basically white, shut the fuck up nigger
>>538969299That cash is child support.Both SNAP (FOOD) and Child Support go on EBT cards.
>>538969290Accelerate
>>538969530>because you were able to withdraw cash against your EBT balance.LOL, I wonder how long that lasted.
>>538965756MFW when no Gov Cheese especially since Canada has defacto Dairy Cartel. Were Kraft Singles even similar?
>>538966336I've had to use a food bank once, and I was thankful but felt so much guilt I donated more in cash than I was given in food. Pass it on is what was going through my head.Now I know how reality actually is. it sucks. Leeches suck. Brown people suck.
>>538969529Armodillo??I hate those niggers so I hope it's that
>>538964512Because white american patriots set out on a new frontier in a undeveloped and fertile land hundreds of years ago for a single god given mission. >To stuff fried chicken and fast food down spic and niggers throats until they are too fat to walk, where we will give them heroic medical care until they gracelessly expireYes, that's right. Whites invented the locomotive, the refrigerator, the automobile, the oven, the microwave, and anything else you could probably think of, for the sole purpose to shove slop down shitskin maws until they die.
>>538972094I'm reminded of seeing the vids of jeets raiding all of the food banks and they didn't even need the food. Non-Whites were a mistake. As much good as our ancestors did, I'm a bit disappointed they didn't eliminate this garbage after colonizing them.
