The entire economy is propped up by the government. First through infinite money printing by the zionist international central banking cartel. Then by government gibsmedat programs, like SNAP. I just read that a third of grocery store revenue (Kroger, Randall's, HEB, Winn-Dixie, Ralph's, Walmart, Albertson's, Safeway, Aldi, and many others) comes from SNAP.
The only hope anyone can have is scrape together some measily savings and invest it in appreciating assets because the Fed can turn on the money printer and debase the currency at a moment's notice.
USA will be South Africa in 20 years.
The food benefits all get used on high margin processed trash. No surprise it boosts profitsX
Yeah, I call total bullshit on the kids starving when you go into a convenience store and see them walking out with $35 of sodas and junk food on their EBT card. I mean they can't even be bothered to attempt to stretch their gibs, and that's how I know they aren't actually starving. If that money was their difference between eating and dying of starvation, they'd be at the grocery store buying the generic foods that are even below the store brand.
I've been seeing a lot of women crying that all the sugary shit being EBT-eligible isn't a big deal, that "poor people deserve a treat too!"
No. No, they don't.
They need a little suffering and eat nothing but rice and beans so they get off the gibs as soon as possible. They can have their fucking treat when they buy it with their own hard-earned money as a reward.
Leeches should be grateful we're not gassing them all with pesticide. That's their "treat."
While I agree with you even if they did deserve a treat, they can have the cheap $2-3 tubs of ice cream or whatever from the grocery store. The government and the taxpayer do not owe you 7-11 Ben and Jerrys.
Rice, beans, and vegetables isn't even suffering. It's actually much better for you. Also there's nothing stopping them from using non-EBT money to buy cookies if they really want to.
You can buy flour, eggs, butter, and even raw sugar with it, at least around here. Make your own damn pity party cake.
