/EBT/

[Anonymous No.9511693]

So, I'm shopping at price rite because I fucking buy my own food because I work and am responsible human being and i dont like getting ripped off on milk and produce. Instead of just making my trip around the outside of the store, i have to navigate these literal trains of carts overflowing with processed garbage foods pushed by these subhuman, filthy, worthless, literal dregs of society.

Why should these unproductive wastes of life have access to the same foods that you and I, paying customers, also have access to? I'm sure there's grade B foods that they can live off of or some type of generic foods for them to eat and shit out and give to their fucking awful snot nosed brown babies to then shit out.

Does it enrage you to see people getting $500 in free food when you are footing the bills for their obesity and lethargy?

Food stamps/EBT should only include fresh vegetables or canned goods and not include shit like soda, chips, candy, and hot fuckin pockets.

Right there with you brother. I haven't had steak or shellfish in years. I could afford it but I'd rather spend that money on more important things. You don't have to worry about how you spend your money when you're a worthless piece of shit on welfare.

I worked at grocery stores for a few years and while there are definitely people who abuse ebt it's not like all these people are living large. If its a choice between giving out welfare or letting people and kids go hungry I'd rather just let them have their welfare. Also I'm pretty sure the average payout is like 100 dollars not.
And despite what you think most of these people aren't brown either, though of course blacks make up a bigger percentage by population.

I'm originally from the deep south and near the start of every month when the government checks go out I'd see all the local markets packed with blacks filling their carts with junk food. Seriously. I'm one of those cynical mother fuckers who judges everyone else by what's in their cart. I don't recall ever seeing a single vegetable--fresh, frozen, or canned--in any of their carts. Very few meats either. It was all junk food like Doritos and sugar water. It was so sad to watch the kids who were with their mothers (no fathers, of course) and know they had the beetus knocking on their doors.

Food stamps exist to subsidize farmers, giving food to the poor is a secondary benefit.
The farmer doesn't care if his produce gets served farm fresh or if it gets rendered into junkfood by factory robots, what matters to him is that he managed to sell all of his crops.

Though i also agree that there should be far more intensive to buy healthier, more balanced groceries. I use to work a t a luxury grocery store in NY called Stew Leonards, nice store, but everything was crazy overpiced, and keep in mind it was right next to a costco, so it wasnt like there were any more adorable options in the area, we had tons of EBT come though, and the worst offendors were always Asians. You would see Hispanics come through with rice, and vegetables, and meat, looked like they would cook up something great. most black people would come through and buy stupid expensive steaks, but hey at least they were eating meat, and not complete garbage, pretty much the same thing with most white people, although they tended to have more sugar water and junk food. But Asian's, fucking Asian's man. None of them spoke English, and they were all over fucking 70, usually had to have there fucking grand children translate for them, and they were just as fucking disrespectful, entitled assholes "ooooh this expensive, price to high" "you go lower, i give you five dorra" then the mother fuckers just pay with EBT, and get mad when it doesn't cover liquor and certain taxes, fucking maddening man.

Here's the thing with poor people: they went to school in poor places, so their education is shit. Part of why their poor has nothing to do with laziness. It has to do with never learning how not to be poor. Never realizing there are options open to them. Never learning basic stuff like it's a bad idea to eat like shit.

I think it must be a case of correlation as opposed to causality.

I have a MS and I'm working on my pHd right now. Not once during my "education" was I ever taught about food or nutrition, except for one tiny section of a mandatory high school course that covered general "health" topics, including drugs, alcohol, "sex ed", and so on. I was told the usual: eat a balanced diet, follow the "food pyramid". Nothing useful regarding food or nutrition was taught.

Were I *did* learn about food was from my upbringing,. My parents. They taught me how to cook. They set the example by never eating fast food and cooking from scratch nearly every day.

The problem, IMHO, is not in what is normally implied by "Education" (i.e. "School"). But instead how people are raised at home.

And by the way, I know plenty of highly intelligent people with advanced degrees who eat god-awful diets, just as I know doctors who smoke.

Take into account that statistically most born into poverty are going to come from younger and less educated parents. This stacks generation by generation as less skills are handed down. Simply put, it is the result of kids raising kids, who are prone to making short term decisions and realizing that the heavily processed foods are more instantly appealing taste wise and tend to be more filling per dollar with the least amount of work. If you fully think out the process you can save more by actually cooking but if these individuals were to that stage of thinking they could begin escaping their life situation...of which many who reach this level do start to rise out of poverty generationally.

Exactly. But that's a class thing. I grew up middle class, too, and my mother cooked nearly all of the meals we ate from scratch as well. So I learned it was normal to do the same. But imagine not growing up like that. Imagine making it to adulthood where the only fresh vegetables you've seen are the lettuce and tomato on the sandwiches you get from fast food places.

It's a constant battle because the industry (and graduate school) demand more technical education, whereas the government insists on loading down schedules with "humanities", Phys Ed, and so on. I'm not saying all these things aren't important--clearly they all are--but we have to draw a line somewhere.

>>at least they'll know they exist
I think everyone, no matter how bad or financially "poor" their upbringing was knows that it's possible to cook food, and that healthier options than fast food exist.

Heck, the people I know who were honestly poor growing up are some of the best cooks. Because when you're honestly, really, truly, poor you can't afford to eat fast food. You have no choice but to scavenge what you can and cook.

>I say we ship MRE's (reduce calorie, because military MRE's are ~3700 calories each)

First off, MREs are nowhere near 3700 caloires each. Where on earth did you get that in your head? Google it. They all have nutrition information posted. Average per meal is about 1300 calories.

Second, MREs are amazingly fucking expensive. You could give people lobster and steak and still save money.

>> EBT being accepted at liquor stores and fast food ...
EBT has never been accepted at those places. There is, however, a black market in which people sell their EBT for a reduced amount of cash, and then can freely spend that cash on whatever they want. Another option is to buy well-known staples with like diapers, or baby formula and then resell that for cash (or barter it for whatever).

True, but class values are strongly reinforced within that social class. It's like the Eddie Murphy bit anut the McDonald's hamburger. To a poor person being able to eat McDonald's is a prestige thing, because they know people who can't afford that. The same way rich people favor places with proper waitstaff, because they're more comfortable sitting at a table and having food brought to them than they are waiting in line and bussing their own trays. And what of working class people? They'll ruthlessly break each other's balls if one of their own kind is eating something too "fancy", and you know it.

Education can help bust some of this negative class stuff about food. It won't eliminate it, but it can help. I know people who work in programs like this. It's an uphill battle, but it's something.

So forcing them to eat better and cheaper does them a service. I'd just drastically cut back the food stamps and give out weekly food boxes.

What do personal preferences about where you eat have anything to do with what your financial situation dictates?

I was raised upper middle class. I am used to, and I enjoy, eating out at nice restaurants. I don't give a shit about having to bus my own tray or not (I would gladly do so), I just like the better food. That said, I don't make anywhere near enough money to afford blasting it off eating out every day, so I learned to cook for myself.

In fact, my motivation was purely selfish. I was in college, wishing I had enough money for more recreational expenses. I was reviewing my budget and I thought to myself: Damn, I spend a lot of money on fast food. And frankly the food sucks. So I started doing simple shit like buying jarred pasta sauce and a box of pasta, or buying deli meats & making sandwiches. The whole point was to free up money for silly recreational expenses (modding my car, weed, booze, etc.)

My question is your motivation for this. Trying to add stigma to being poor because you are not poor and the idea of poor people getting something for nothing rankles you is a shitty place to be coming from when the purpose of a program is to help people. I like the food boxes idea, because a lot of the markets in places where poor people live don't even stock much in the way of fresh food, so it isn't even an option for them. But being spiteful toward the lower socioeconomic classes when you were lucky enough not to be born into them strikes me as incredibly petty and mean spirited.

Military here. Yeah, anon has the number wrong, but it actually varies between each MRE. Some are around 1.3k. I've seen a few that added up to 2k.

The highest I've ever seen was about 1500, but I started working on the program around 2005 and I stopped around 2012 so there certainly could have been some that were higher before or after that. But I know well that 1300 was average during the aforementioned time period.

There were different meals known by other names than MREs which might have had a different caloric content. I know there was the "first strike ration", UGRs, and the "humanitarian aid" meals. Probably others too. I didn't work on those so I'm not sure what their caloric values were but I know damn well the normal MRE was nowhere near 3k.

I used to work as a cashier and I'll tell you right now that this image is both correct and retarded. Having free money to spend on food is easily really helpful but the same people that use EBT live in awful conditions and have a ton of kids.

EBT does buy a lot of food, but the people who buy with EBT tend to go to the grocery store on a term basis that allows them to buy the things they need for the week. I think it's really disgusting that people actually cry about poor people buying food for their weekly lives when the alternative is some dystopian universe shit. If you work a minimum wage job and you can't afford groceries, GUESS WHAT, you can get help getting groceries, be it through EBT or fucking food banks.

If you live in the united states and you're hungry you have options and I think it's disgusting that people in the working and middle class will outright cry about how unfair it is for people to feed themselves through government assistance. For a country that's underlying values are judeo-christian it has a really lax sense of charity, and an even worse value for human lives.

I'm not adding stigma ... I am taking away luxury. If they cared about how society perceived them most of them wouldn't be on welfare in the first place, stigma is a non issue.

Also I I failed at life and work minimum wage in a country with near infinite possibility, I hate the rich and those poorer than me alike because I project my self hatred.

That's not why I want to take away luxury from welfare though. It's a matter of fairness, the original poor houses were created with the mindset that the welfare takers should live worse than the poorest self sufficient labourers. That sentiment is as valid today as it ever was. Government should create the conditions for full employment, with workfare if necessary, those who chose not to work regardless will have to give up luxuries in return. You still get a lot more free time.

Do you sincerely think that a stipend for groceries is enough to buy you smoked salmon and foie gras? It's just a supplement for people to buy weekly groceries that you and I would buy. I grew up in a household where everything was home cooked and in my experience the biggest issue with people who use EBT is that they don't buy ingredients but microwaveable meals, which are obviously unhealthier and less cost effective. I think people who use EBT and even normal people should learn to cook for themselves. Luxury is just not the case. I'm sorry if you're eating lentils every day of the month, but if it's really come to that then you probably qualify for assistance.

He literally talks about how shitty people are for taking advantage of government programs and how it affects the image of immigrants now but his life at the time was severely affected by his inability to grow as a human being because he was a teenager who had to have a full time job to provide for himself and his family.

Government assistance like EBT and welfare aren't terrible for people who are hungry and poor because the people who tend to need assiatance the most are the hungry and poor, and even then people who are riding that fine line. Nobody wants to get handouts, I'm sure everyone who is on welfare would much rather be in your shoes but it doesn't make the strife of day to day life any less negligible simply because you think the stigma and the stereotype are evidence enough of a human beings failure to survive.

Your dad's experience isn't uncommon; first generation works hard, especially with zero education and minimal work. 2nd generation (you) has computers, money, education, a car, and an opportunity to grow up.

Their kids went to medical school or accounting or law whatever where they still work a lot but make 10-50x the money their parents did. Thats all without welfare and snap or whatever.

He says there are plenty of people getting a lot of money like that and it seems fairly arbitrary. He's a bleeding heart liberal too in case you want to ignore the post with a strawman.

Nothing drives me more insane than lazy fuckers mooching programs like EBT. I get wanting to grab some soda or some candy on the side, but people who just buy nothing but junk and get sicker make it harder for those of us who actually need this shit to be taken seriously.

It's people rightfully pissed off that people are abusing the system to buy junk, and then whining they sick or some shit and can't work.

Nobody sane's going to complain about a single mother who lost their husband using EBT.

People have every right to complain about somebody with 7 kids not closing their legs buying nothing but chips/pop and other garbage on it.

SO KEEP GRINDIN FOR DEM GAINZ. Shame and self-esteem aren't gained by having to work when you're a child. I've met 13 year olds who have to work with fake documents to send money back to their home country instead of going to school, and guess what, THEY STILL GET GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE. Being poor now and being poor in the 80s is incredibly different. I challenge you to live within the means of a poor person from the 80s and manage to grow business.

You're living a pipe dream if you think poverty is a sincere form of encouragment to better yourselves. If that were the case then why don't the majority of poor people ever pull out of their poverty? Because MUH PROGRAMZ is just too comfy? Being poor isn't comfortable and neither is having to work a shitty job and still not coming up with enough money to provide for yourself in your family.

So how does welfare work? The rich Nike wearing urBAN minoroty walks into the welfare office slaps his dick onto to welfare office desk and goes LEMEE ASKYU SUMMIN HOW BOUT DEM MONIES FOR DEM LOBSTAS.

That's exactly why most stay poor. That and having no Fucking clue how to save a dime when they get a bit of money.

Let me put it this way, if you're a lazy cunt would you rather bust your Ass at a slight chance to better yourself and your family, or stay of food stamps and buy pitted shit to entertain yourself?

One is slow and profitable and the other is instant gratification. For someone who has no plans for the future, why wait tomorrow when you can enjoy today?

From 2006-2008 I was on SNAP because my (ex)wife abandoned me and our special-needs son because she found a junkie on Facebook to fuck (who, incidentally, had another kid with her and she abandoned both of them too). But anyway, I lost my job because I had no car. We had no money. She stole everything small and valuable when she left. I couldn't even afford to initiate a divorce for 1.5 years. There was a 4 year uphill battle after that, and thanks to SNAP, I now live in middle Tennessee in a nice house with a nice car with my son.

SNAP paid ~$200 a month for food for 2 people, plus medicaid. When I called to cancel our SNAP, the woman at DHS laughed at me because because apparently the concept of someone voluntarily getting off the program was unheard of.

Thank everyone here who pays taxes and helped me get my family back on its feet. But, having been a cashier for 2 years as a teen, I strongly believe that the people who actually NEED food stamps are viciously outnumbered by wastes of space and the program needs a serious overhaul. I suggest converting it to a series of warehouses and delivery trucks that supply food the government chooses. One way or another, the government should be making the choice of food. They could make quite a few jobs by manufacturing/packaging it themselves. You'd only need about 30 different items, tops.

She paid on and off. Mostly off. She got called into court 3 times for non-payment. Right now, her parents actually pay the child support for her just to keep her out of jail. I only hear from her once a year. I don't know what exactly she's doing. But, it's nothing constructive.

People who get EBT or welfare generally work and use government programs to supplement their income or food spending. When I worked in a grocery store the people who worked there bought groceries with EBT. These were people who worked shitty jobs all of their lives or through some circumstance were unlucky enough to qualify for assistance. The myth of welfare queens is seriously so fucking asinine when you get to know people who rely on government assistance while maintaining full time jobs. And yes people do take advantage of government programs but it's not to the extent that people who rely on them should feel a sense of shame because they need help making sure they have enough food to eat or they're able to buy simple home goods or say to say needs without being homeless.

You'll retract that statement real quick once your not in a comfy environment, hiding from the facts that are plainly visible. I know various shitskins who have kids from different bitches, married to none with multiple cars, actual jobs, and expensive shit all because they get government AID. One of them has a charger, some new truck, 2 motorcycles, and 2 apartments to put this into perspective. He's probably selling drugs on top of this shit desu. He also pays child support. How the fuck is this possible? Because Uncle Sam loves taking from the struggling white man and giving to the cheating nigger.
