I once saw a woman use her card to purchase a single grape, so that then she could get to the "Cash Back" menu and drain the card, probably to go buy drugs.
I've also seen folks using the card to buy lobster tails. What. the. fuck.
Then do what the rest of us did. Advance in the job you have or work to get a better job. You're not supposed to be able to support yourself flipping burgers or stocking shelves.
That's not what he is saying. He is saying you need to remain eager to grow. Take the stocker job. Develop skills to be the team lead. Then the manager. Or go to the behind the scenes side and work in the logistics. Be uncontent with your current station and keep fighting your way up. Might take 15 years but eventually you'll know every job in a store, that's when you are in charge. Very few people come from the background you are imagining.
That, and having a currency that keeps it's value is important.
That's the defeatist attitude that made this country. No one owes you shit. You sound just like any black that thinks the man is keeping him down. Don't be a loser and fight for your future, no one else ever will.
I'll tell you what the fuck is wrong with me. I've struggled to feed my family in my life. Never have I taken a handout from anybody. I worked harder and took care of buisness. And no some jobs are not meant to support yourself with. They are for young people to get started in the workforce and learn some ethics.
Yeah. Inflation called. It said nuh-uh. Sorry but a 2 bedroom apartment costs like 2000 dollars, and the houses where all the jobs are at all cost <400,000 dollars and they're built like shit. All the jobs pay about 20 an hour. Do the math and go fuck yourself.
Papa Murphy's take home and bake pizza chain exists to take these payments. Fulled cooked and prepared food vs cold prepped food are treated differently. Restarted yes, but it is what it is
The SNAP "food stamp" program is not a social services program. It is under the department of agriculture included on the Farm Bill.
The reason people are allowed to use food stamps on junk food is because the farmers growing the potatoes that make potato chips and the farmers growing sugar that make candy, and the farmers growing wheat that is turned into flour to make cookies all deserve to sell their products to buyers at the same rate that the farmers and ranchers who sell onions, chicken, and fish do.
It's not a reward program for the people who spend the food stamps as much as it is a subsidy program for farmers to keep growing stuff.
Not only that, but the food stamps being spent today were already paid for in full two years ago.
On average only about 52% of the benefits that are already earmarked for the SNAP program each year are used. That means 48% is not used and from what I have been told is that it rolls over to foreign aid.
You pay taxes. Your money is set aside for SNAP benefits which is the bulk of the Farm Bill. Whatever is not given back to the public to be spent in America is sent to foreign countries.
I say that if you qualify for SNAP benefits please get them and please use them. Keep our money in the US. It's your money. People say that they don't like to "suck the government teet" but nobody has a problem spending their tax returns because they accept that it is their money. The money in the SNAP program is your money too.

What does one have to do with the other? There's no way to sell potatoes unless they're in chips? And we have to subsidize this shit because a few factory farmers who don't take care of the land want to ramp profits up to the maximum?
If growing a potato is hard, then getting a chicken to market is a nightmare, and the guy doing it probably deserves more for his effort than the spud chucker.

Good!! I'm sick and tired of watching these people put up bags and bags of Doritos, 10 2 liter soda's and boxes of snack cakes on the belt, and then it all gets zeroed out at the end!
Meanwhile people like I and my family who don't get food stamps are struggling to purchase fresh fruits and veggies, fresh meat and eggs.
It angers me every time I see some morbidly obese woman waddling with her obese children squabbling and screaming over cookies and candies put loads of sugar and carbs on the checkout counter, then she picks up an extra mountain dew at the end just for good measure, and she doesn't have to pay one red cent. Then I put my food on the counter and the total ends up being near $200 for basic things like meat and vegetables! Infuriating!
Hey thanks Fren! I was just looking u up to tell you , I got my 1000 bucks back and I haven’t sent Bible back yet ! I just called my credit card company to see what was going on and to tell them that I did some of my own investigating and it’s pretty much a scam , I’ve read what other people have said about it on line . fake copied signature blah blah and he said don’t worry your accounts already been credited the thousand dollars ! I said yes , but once you guys investigate and that company says that they did send the Bible and it’s legit,? Youll put the charge back on my account and he said, no ma’am it says here that the Bible company already paid the thousand dollars to us when we disputed it . , so Lee Greenwood company already paid it knowing that the damn signature was fake. I mean a kid could see it’s a copy ! Anyway that’s what this guy said and I hope it stays that way! Thank you for all your help and advice I was on it ;)
I know you were right , I educated myself on all the stuff you sent so I was prepared ! I also called like you said , I’m so happy , honestly , not only is the signature a copy , I don’t think it’s his ( DJT) I just saw his signature again today for the ringing of the Bell . . His signature is long . The one I got is a midget copy only half the size of his usual signings ! Greenwall stealing off of patriots, what a dick ! I’m a bit screwy to pay 1000 for a Bible , but I’m so proud of my patriot son I wanted it for him . He was excited when i told him i bought it and it would be in our safe . Anyway Sure glad Justice was served ! Thank you again !
Maybe my family is just super unlucky but the two times my parents lost their jobs and we were given food stamps, we only got less than $150 a month. I don’t know who these people are that can afford the kind of stuff you’re talking about on food stamps.
There are no more food stamps. They're given a debit card that is loaded every 2 weeks. They're given a hell of a lot more than $150 a month now. More like $400. Back in the day, food stamps were only good for essential and nutritious foods. Now the list is pages long what they cover that includes candy, soda, snack food. They just recently removed food services like Door Dash. It's insane.
Yes, they’re no longer literal stamps and they’re digital.
I’m just saying we were given that amount. About $130 something for a month. At a time when it costs us $250 a week at the store and a package of hamburger is $15.
Yes it covers dumb stuff like candy, but at least in my state, as far as I can tell, it does not cover fast food.
Back in the 70s, I took my toddler son and left my abusive husband.
My son and I lived on $200/month from which I had to pay rent, utilities, food, etc. I qualified for the WIC (Women with Dependent Children?) program. The food I could buy was very limited and no junk food was allowed. That was fine with me because we didn't eat it anyway except once a month when I took him for pizza and dollar night at the movies. He was allowed a candy bar. Took all month to save the less than $15 it cost but those are some good memories!
Bring back healthy food for families on food stamps!
I see the fraud all the time. Cases of pop sold for cash to arab who owns corner store. Junk food. Steak. Lobster. Crab legs. Shrimp. Buying $80 birthday cakes. The ridiculousness has no shortage of examples. Meanwhile their kids starve and we the taxpayer have to pay twice to fund school lunch programs that feed these kids three meals a day. End the fucking program. Direct each county to open a food bank and hand out the food to needy families. Could help more families better and the .gov spend less doing so. It would also ensure families are getting proper food to eat. Don't like it? Get a fucking job.
Absolutely, people abuse this system horrifically. And yes, those people need to get a job since they’re otherwise healthy and fine to work.
I do not want a government that’s already ridiculously cold and unfair to the good people that don’t screw over the system and have paid into it for literally 50 years to police what kind of food people buy.
Rather than punishing the consumer, go after these corrupt assholes that made junk food so junky in the first place.
There should be a "501k" for working people. As you work the value of this facility grows. If you find yourself in a temporary problem with no job you can borrow against this, interest free, up to the limit defined by your previous tax returns. You can use the money however you want. Sort of like an immediate "social security" lending program.
Otherwise EBT should be for defective people who can never hold a job and choose to just be part of the permanently fucked class. The ones who won't work, don't want to work, and screw things up if you try to make them work.
Absolutely. That includes red pop, chips, sugary cereals, candy, cigarettes and other tobacco products. No fast food, including Micky D and KFC, Popeyes, Burger King.
Get rid of the cards and go back to vouchers for specific products. Don't like it? Get a fucking job.
I once saw a woman use her card to purchase a single grape, so that then she could get to the "Cash Back" menu and drain the card, probably to go buy drugs.
I've also seen folks using the card to buy lobster tails. What. the. fuck.
Make no mistake their lives are full of strife and misery brought to them by their own hand.
I was the child the of these people.
Their homes are not peaceful. Their minds are always uneasy, and their families will deteriorate.
I understand that, or at least I recognize that from outside of it.
But it really bothers me that taxpayers are providing this money to them, and they spend it like this.
Then do what the rest of us did. Advance in the job you have or work to get a better job. You're not supposed to be able to support yourself flipping burgers or stocking shelves.

Lots of trade jobs that pay well. Sorry, not sorry.
Cards also work at fast food restaurants.
Papa Murphy's take home and bake pizza chain exists to take these payments. Fulled cooked and prepared food vs cold prepped food are treated differently. Restarted yes, but it is what it is
Yessss this is new!! I've seen huge signs outside the McDonalds and Taco Bell in our city: "EBT accepted here!"
I say this repeatedly:
Farming is grueling thankless work.
The SNAP "food stamp" program is not a social services program. It is under the department of agriculture included on the Farm Bill.

I bring this up to my son often: growing even 1 bowl of rice is NOT EASY.
Farmers work very hard to bring that rice to us. It's very, very easy to take it for granted because it looks so plentiful.
Some examples:
Time-lapse of growing rice (turn on subtitles)
Evangelion - this is "work?"
A Better Tomorrow 2 - "rice is just like my mother and father. don't f with my family"
What does one have to do with the other? There's no way to sell potatoes unless they're in chips? And we have to subsidize this shit because a few factory farmers who don't take care of the land want to ramp profits up to the maximum?
If growing a potato is hard, then getting a chicken to market is a nightmare, and the guy doing it probably deserves more for his effort than the spud chucker.
So.. how about.. we just fix this?

The hopsital doesn't care because her fat ass gets medicare and they get to buy a new elephant sized MRI machine for their "bariatric" patients.
There's no "ultimate penalty" for these retards, other than a shortened life span, which they're too dumb to feel confronted by.
I see those EBT signs all over for fast food , even Amazon accepts it ! Wthdoes EBT stand for ! Need to look that up !
Electronic benefits transfer.

Even better: end taxation.
No more "free shit" for anyone.

women infants and children
Thank you! My old brain is not what it once was.
It's time to end food stamps, period. End all handouts, and let family take care of their own. No family, no problem, get a job.

Okay. I don’t like this.
Absolutely, people abuse this system horrifically. And yes, those people need to get a job since they’re otherwise healthy and fine to work.

It's time to end taxpayer funded food stamps
More importantly, make sugar the least healthy ingredient allowed in any food again.
Fixed it for her.
People should be able to buy what they want. You don’t get to dip into their lives just because they need a hand up.
They can buy what they want. The taxpayers should not have to pay for anything beyond basic nutrition and calories to keep body and soul together.
If it's not your money, you don't get to decide what to spend it on.
Came out of my taxes
If you're on welfare or any other assistance, there should be guidelines and rules as to what you can buy where.
No different than when you lived with your parents, they support you so you have to live by their rules.
Don't want to live by their rules, then support yourself.
If you have legitimate health issues then you go on SSDI.
SSDI is not welfare.
But, there should be organizations out there to assist people with disabilities.
And if taxes weren't so insane, there would be many more of these types of organizations.
Studies have proven over and over that as taxes increase, people's charitable contributions decline.
