Yes it is.

As a man, being able to provide, and accomplish things without help is a flex. And as a taxpayer, threads like these annoy me.

Why does it annoy u that the politicians who bribe their kids through from prep school to Yale with those tax dollars of urs are legally obligated to give a miniscule pittance of that back to u should God forbid anything happen to u where u can no longer work and provide for ur family?

U really comfortable with them keeping the whole pot while ur wife has to take a SECOND second job so yall can buy ur kids sneakers for back to school from forman mills? Should they keep all they snatch from her as well when she is too old or sick to work anymore? What yall gone do then

Come on breh, u too old and too smart to be fallin for the divide and conquer scape goat deflections. As a tax payer u should be enraged that these people we elect to serve us are snorting pure uncut white girl off a black woman's asscheek with a hundred dollar bill, ALL of which came from those "tax" dollars u are so damn annoyed ur brother was unfortunate yet humble enough to apply for. All the while breh, u, God forbid, potentially one a$$hole drunk driver on a slippery road away from that county assistance office just like the rest of us.

And the fukked up thing is while they crys poppin it up on OUR dime, between those 12 days a month they actually clock in to their "jobs", when push come to shove u will be eating ramen noodle and grill cheese to keep the lights on for YEARS while they decide if they gone be benevolent enough to even give u the major benefits. Which even if they do, u are STILL gone be way below the poverty level. And as if they havent shyt in ur mouth and told u its raining pudding thoroughly enough, when its time for that vote to whether or not they should all get a raise for their "hard work", its gone take all of five minutes for THAT to be approved. But then, that cant be too surprising. After all, they the ones who get to vote on it.

So i guess the moral to this story is disabled folk dont have the integrity to decide if they should be allowed to use a safety net funded by themselves so they can live in abject squalor opposed to starving to death in an alley with their family, but a politician of all people are completely trustworthy to decide if they deserve another zero at the end of THEIR handout?

But i guess who can blame them for fleecing us when we are happy to just hand them the clippers and assume the position. But we got all this smoke for each other though

Is this thread about a safety net, or getting free stuff?? As a man, you should always want to provide for yourself. Being dependent on the government ain’t it.

Nothing is free under God's yellow sun breh. Dying is a small fortune, hell the very air we breath is rife with poisons taxing our lungs and hearts.

You think that safety net coming out of these millionaire grifter's and they billionaire sponsor's pockets man?Its the other way around. They the ones U, I and the true taxpayers are supporting. The peanuts they throw us after they worked us half to death dont even scratch the surface. And if 99% of them had it their way we wouldnt even get that. But u think any of them would dare ever come out and frame it like that? That isnt how a grift works and witty and wise as u are u damn well know that. And even the dimmer bulbs in the pack are hip to it. Man they just did such a number on us with the scapegoating and propaganda we almost willfully blind to it. Cause the alternative rocks our relatively comfortable existence. Easier to shake our fist from afar at the welfare fraud boogeyman than to rise up and hold those in power accountable.

Think about it man; the maximum snap benefit in my state is 250(and they ONLY raised it to that after the pandemic hit. Before that it was just under 200 dollars. I myself only get 112, and thats up from 97 pre-pandemic. That is a 15 dollar a month raise. Ballpark that is like a 15 maybe 16% increase.

Now lets look at some food items. A lb of premium turkey breast was 9-10 dollars at shoprite pre pandemic. As of today that same brand is 16.99 a lb. That is a damn near 70+ percent increase. Breh i legit run up at least 3 times what these billionaire corporations pet policymakers give me (back from the 40% of my lifes paychecks) in one damn shopping trip and not even top off the cart And that may last a minute but sooner or later that month im gone run through most of that and need to go back. And thats not considering stuff like milk, bread, lunch meat etc that has a short shelf life. Now i gave u the figures. 40% my lifes earnings, taken weekly, and the return on my investment is a monthly allotment of less than a third of what i invested in the first week, give or take.

U do the math breh, crunch the numbers and te me who gaming who. And that is without even getting into shyt like bribes they euphemistically refer to as "lobbying", which successfully ensured literally everything has steadily gone up except for (our)wages.(remember, we dont get a vote like they do for our raises).

And this is just the basic surface fukkery. It gets murkier the deeper we go. But this post is already way too long and i think get my point. Yes a man damn well should be able to support himself. And most of us do that quite well considering we have have politicians to feed with cheap values and expensive taste.(dont ask me how)

I’m just saying this is nothing to flaunt, or flex. We’re celebrating qualifying for government assistance. There are people who genuinely need it, and people who don’t aspire to do better, because they are getting benefits from the state. I’d never vote Republican, because I don’t believe the benefits should be cut, but I do believe it creates dependence.

Just don’t publicize it.

Well this is all facts, though i got a sneaking suspicion OP might have been trolling. He is a squirrel. Naturally we can expect all kinds of nutty shyt out of him.


Its a good discussion though. There is no shortage of people who believe in the welfare queen myth that think the majority of their tax dollars are funding luxury lifestyles for lazy, hapless scammers. And they usually have a pretty specific image in mind when it comes to those people Naturally, This is by design. And of course there are always going to be people out there who fit the bill. But the overwhelming majority of FS recipients are by no means experiencing any type of luxury. And given the choice i strongly believe most would rather be out making even a comfortable living wage, settling for mediocrity even if they never achieve luxury. Very very few are content to just scrape by the rest of their lives on the crumbs that fall from the plate of the true down low socialists living high on the hog on our tax dollars.

And those who are i would find it difficult to argue that they at the very least do qualify for those benefits, cause u gotta have some kinda debilitating mental illness to be content spending the rest of ur life like that.

And while OP is very likely just trolling, i dont like the shaming energy a lot of folks have when they see someone buying luxury items with an ebt card. First, its no ones business what is in the next mans cart, and even less so what his finances are.

And i dont see the issue anyway, as everything OP mentioned are legit food items covered by ebt. They have very clear guidelines, and even prohibit purchases of prepared foods, which i feel is kinda overstepping, but logical from a nutritional standard at least. And shyt is so high right now anyway...hell, a pack of chicken wings is just as much (and sometimes more) as some crab legs or filet mignon. So we lowkey at the point where eating itself is becoming a luxury.

That is far more concerning to me than anything. And there is more to it than the "supply chain" and oil prices, im sure of it.

But just like the scape goating, those are just distractions and misdirection.
