EBT

Who else here /ebt/? I just got my card today. I bought some carne asada, some eye of round steaks, chuck roast, raspberries blueberries and black berries, some bratwurst, thick cut boars head bacon, and some jello cups and pickles. All in all it cost me (lol or I guess the taxpayers) about $85. I still have $210 left as well. I'm going to make some beef bourginon with the chuck roast and some mixed berry pie. I felt kinda gross when I went to the social service office to pick it because I was the only person there who wasn't fat or trashy or obviously addicted to crack but whatever, it's free money. What should I buy with the rest of my ebt?

Stock up on basics that last a long time. Seasonings, flour, stock cubes, rice, oil. Then next month you will be free to spend on whatever else you want. Slippery slope user, I've been down that path. It goes quicker than you think.

I tried to get EBT but after about 30 minutes on the phone with the idiot at social services I found out I was only eligible for $15 a month.
Fuck that.

>poorfags

Nigger I live in a 3 million dollar house in the Hollywood hills. Im just a neet so I technically qualify for ebt, and this is my way of paying my family back. Actually Its more like wagecucks like you are paying :)

>have 2k rolled over on my card because I applied while still living at my parent's house and rarely used it

I spend around $120 a month in groceries, so I won't have to pay for food for quite a while

Obviously you are the nigger.

You don't live in a good house. You're a faggot liar posting on Veeky Forums.

Also ya EBT is nice. A lot of farmers markets are accepting it now which is great.

buy as much chicken, grease, flour and watermelon as you can, nigger.
>free money
>free

Salt of the goddamn earth.

>I live in a 3 million dollar house in the Hollywood hills

Society suffers under stupid greed, on every level. Buy fruit and nut trees ( can be bought with foodstamps) and plant them everywhere. Stock on canned goods now before your non working status gets you no right to social security (which is dying as a possibility anyway)... and the inevitable reform or culling of social programs like ebt. In three years your vast stores mean you can sell a portion of any incoming ebt to put to retirement. Sell some food from the trees to the equally poor, and eat it yourself . Maybe then you wont have to dumpster dive regularly.

It would be sad to see a old man leathered skin from hardship arthritic slant in the fingers and a shaking there in themotion pull a rotting prime rib from a dumpster cry. To be shoulder to him and say "ooh nice find".

Your first mistake is assuming someone on food stamps has land to grow fruit and nut trees.

Your mistake is assuming that they have to own property in order to plant a tree. You can plant trees anywhere.

I know you trolling OP but EBT users make me wanna murder someone i live in a dog shit apartment make dog shit money etc etc etc im the definition of poverty right now and im still not pathetic enough to get on EBT

I can't wait for the welfare system to collapse, and people like you starve to death on the streets. And no, no one here buys you having rich parents.

Get a job you fucking lazy nigger

Middle class guy tries to feel superior even though every years his species is thinner and his chidren are "the poor"

Its easy to imagine your on higer ground if you close your eyes tight and dont see how flat the horizon is.

this
I make shit money but i dont use welfare because im not a filthy society destroying nigger

How many jobs did you apply for today OP?

Yeah why don't you take that money and give it back so wagefags like me don't have to have our paychecks destroyed by lazy niggers like you gaming the system.

dont hate the player hate the game lmao faggot normie btfo

We do hate the game, but filthy parasites and immigrants keep voting FOR the game.

kys

>Hate the game
>Still playing the game

Will the wagies ever learn?

it has to do with something called dignity and respect.
The only reason you still have gibs is because of 80 IQ brown people that leftists ship into our country because it gives them free votes.

And this is how and why classical liberal libertarians like me turned to pick related.
Kys faggot nigger

Unless he's disabled or has kids, he can only stay on EBT for 3 months without a job.

Do you expect that to get better or worse? You just have to row harder to keep up

so y'all take a picture of a card and someone's story at face value?

hah

>All in all it cost me (lol or I guess the taxpayers) about $85. I still have $210 left as well.

OP is trolling because single individuals only gets like $20/month and that's it. Unless you have five negroid babies.

Now now. Let's keep this cooking related.
youtu.be/c7YQQRxiVXg

Yeah, the maximum monthly allotment that is even possible for a household of one is $194 and you would have be disabled and poor as shit to get anywhere close to that.

Not true in California.

>thinking your impotent identification with a political theory is meaningful in any way
get fucked ideologue

>"i'm too GOOD for FREE MONEY"
>"i qualify for financial assistance but id rather STRUGGLE than recieve money for FOOD"

keep em coming

on an individual basis, you’re right, it means nothing. But that user’s sentiments mirror what is happening on a grander scale. Go read stirner you massive faggot.
>”i’m too GOOD to STEAL”
>”i’d rather WORK than LEECH TAXPAYER DOLLARS”
Get fucked parasite. If society was made entirely of people like you, there would be no society at all.

>parasite

oh boy you better not use roads or sidewalks then. you're just a parasite abusing the free road system.
get the stick out of your ass lmao nerd

You pay for roads with taxes you numpty

>muh roads
did you just discover Veeky Forums yesterday?

The difference between roads and welfare is that we all use roads you fucking neanderthal.

I do agree that adults who don’t pay taxes shouldn’t be allowed to use roads.

>this
I didnt want to slide authoritarian. Society is forcing me to.
Feels bad man.

Thinks I will listen to anyone who posts a picture of cokehead pole who is a shit tier pseudo philosopher.

Since were on the subject. Im from Florida and theyre handing out EBT cards loaded from $700-1000 for everyone since the hurricane hit. People are standing in line for hours just to get one then they sell it on craigslist or letgo.
>mfw

Am I having a stroke?

>making morality appeals to 'society'

you /pol/ dilettantes really are profoundly stupid.

What is prorated Alex.

>22 years old and lost my job because untenured and young

>Land job for much lower pay but I'm poor now.

>Go to the office. Nothing but fat, dirty-looking minorities or illegals.
>Talk to a lady for 45 minutes just to find out that I'm nearly over the "pay limit" despite all my bills. I only qualify for $75 bucks or something.

How poor and destitute do I have to be exactly? I want a little weight off my shoulders so I can pay off my dues and work towards a better life but I'm slowly starting to realize that most people who are on EBT are more than content to live like a cockroach if it means they can use up other people's money and never improve themselves.

Yeah, like governments are World renowned at saving cash... rather the citizens get the money and trickle it into the economy than giving Apple another grant to develop a toy robot that will be built in China...

>tfw too intelligent to argue with profoundly stupid dilettante

so you agree universal welfare wouldn't be out of the question then :^)?

sounds a little SOCIALIST mate

Divide and conquer... there will always be people better and worse than you. Funny how you yourself went for aid, but now are bitter twords others that you perceive to get more than you... live your life and let them live theirs... .

what argument? that disaffected losers on Veeky Forums disproportionately claim to hold far right wing political ideas? there's no argument there

do you honestly believe 'hitler did nothing wrong, day of the rope' politics are rising in any measurable way? do actually believe
>/pol/ memed Donald Trump into the white house

>do actually believe

>tfw I actually expected you to try to muddle out a response
you know why it doesn't even give me pause when I see the dumb /pol/ shit you fuckers spew all over this godforsaken website? because it is so easy to verbally whip you into speechlessness within a few posts.

Is that how you justify sucking uncle sam's tit?

So when you pay your taxes, you don't take any of the standard deductions...

We are not fucking socialist.
Does the state own the means of production? No they fucking don't. We're a capitalist country with a social safety net. That net is being stretched to the breaking point by the way, so fuck off we are full.

>but now are bitter twords others that you perceive to get more than you

Not that user but I'm sorry, "perceive"? It's a fact that there are people out there that will never work as hard, or not at all, but get more handed to them anyway. It's not bitter to be fucking angry about that. It's called reality and it's unfair. Makes no sense how we base virtually everything else (education, jobs, possessions) around meritocracy but somehow whiteknights like you pop up to defend the exception when it comes to food assistance. As if someone who refuses to work with three kids deserves help any more than someone who does work with a single child who struggles to get by. Like fucking opposite day. The US food assistance programs are rigged bullshit.

you're conflating idealized communism with socialism. I left you a hint in that post but clearly it went over your head.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model

But you act like these people would be productive members of society without such a program. They would just be criminals and you're going to pay one way or the other--that's reality.

>That net is being stretched to the breaking point by the way, so fuck off we are full.
sounds like a perfect time to raise taxes and start universal basic income

>But you act like these people would be productive members of society without such a program.
Many of them would be.

Why? That would only make the problem worse.

[citation needed]
and no, a Rothbard quotation won't cut it. Drop some research or fuck off.

Lol, no they wouldn't.

why? because you're puppetmasters have convinced you that taxes are wrong? enlighten me

Deductions I earn by being responsible for others. How have you earned your free food? By not being able to provide it for yourself? Pathetic.

Well hate to tell you, but those are social welfare programs... ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa!

>But you act like these people would be productive members of society without such a program.

Where are your comparable stats to prove that they wouldn't be? It's a well-known fact that politicians like to keep uneducated poor people on welfare so that they can control them with the vote.
They're just as unproductive now, except government feeds them too and encourages them to breed. Then tells them they have more of a right to do so than anyone else. Fuck that.

>I can't come up with an empirical evidence in 5 minutes so my interpretation must be right!
burden of proof faggot. and no, appeals to 'common sense' don't cut it.

My stats are the ever reducing school funding... turning out dumber and dumber Americans. Yet we expect them to excel, how stupid, hun?

>get literally blown and called out after taking a picture of a book who's title he can't even pronounce
>i have le verbally whipped you into speechlessness with my rick and morty level intellofgints

>gets (literally?) blown out after namedropping an obscure philosopher he's clearly never even read about let alone directly
>I don't have to actually come up with an articulated response because you've made a typo on a Swahili fingerpainting discussion board.

And then he can reapply and get it all over again my half brother shoots up heroin for a living and sells his 300$ a month in EBT to feed his habbit

You're the one who got BTFO, faglord.

>Where are your comparable stats to prove that they wouldn't be?
I don't have statistics. But I do know a few people who leech off the system deliberately purely because it's practical. None of them are criminals, they are just happy to suck the gov't teat when they can. If their funds were suddenly cut off they would get jobs. It's happened before.

School funding is incredibly high. The US spends more per student than most countries. The problem is that it gets wasted by inefficient bureaucracy and little of the money actually goes where it counts.

Wow, you're upset.
>RESEARCH EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE NOW FAGGOT OR IM RIGHT AND YER WRONGGGGG AND NO I WONT BE POSTING MY EVIDENCE EITHER REEEEEEEEEE!
Go figure the person whiteknighting lazy food stamp people acts just as entitled and self-important. This isn't high school debate class, it's Veeky Forums.

>school funding
>having anything to do with food stamp assistance
Yep, but other people are stupid and extrapolating their opinions.
>hun
Am I arguing with a bitch? Sorry princess, did I strike a nerve telling you that your ilk are lazy cunts who can work?

I haven't made a single post about anybody on foodstamps this entire thread moron. You're arguing with 2 different people. Perhaps the anonymous nature of this discussion is a little over you head.

You can spew your ideology in fits of impotent frustration all you want about those damned lazy blacks and those useless politicians. SNAP isn't going away. This board is for the discussion of food and cooking, and this topic has to do with neither. You want to talk politics? go back to /pol/.

School funding has everything to do with it.

(Life pro tip: It's not honor students collecting benefits...).

Funny how I said nothing about blacks.
A little racist, aren't you? Hunny bun?

>d-d-disagree with me you p-p-pol baka ;____;
I fucking hate that board and hysterical bitches like you who think anyone who doesn't praise how food assistance is distributed means we want to lynch black people and let poor people die. Seriously, just leave.

Why are you samefagging?

Nice damage control, retard.

I don't agree with food assistance programs in this country either, and again, I've made no claims otherwise. The difference is I don't air my grievances on the fucking Veeky Forums food board.

what damage control? that politics are fucking boring and nothing meaningful is ever said about them?

hurr durr I don't understand Veeky Forums

>MS Paint
Nice try, fuckwit.
Lurk Moar.

wow it's almost like we're all anonymous and samefagging is almost as stupid as calling out 'samefag' like it's 2006.

if you want persistent handles to talk to instead of anons, might I suggest reddit?

Thread is so funny. Fuck you mad poorfags.

Enjoy your EBT food, OP.

>Reddit
Epic comeback.
You really showed him with that witty repartee.
Is your name Noel Coward by any chance?

"I will work harder!" said Boxer the horse

Even though we make almost 3000 a month I still get $475 in foodstanps because there's nothing leftover after bills. I try to help out other people a lot though. Donating to can drives, baking for people, casseroles for grieving people, entertaining guests. We don't buy things like doritos and mountain dew. Lots of fruit, rice, chicken, every once in a while a lobster or good brie. It's especially helpful for condiments which can get expensive.

33% of my community is on food stamps. Any attempt at ending it would end in riots and continuing it results in non workers eating better than those who do work. What a system!

So quit your job and go get it... nothing like putting your money where your mouth is; or shut the fuck up and stop being a winney little cunt like your dad.

Haha okay buddy
I'm supposed to get 194 but I applied in the middle of the month so I got half a month added on.
I applied for a job at spectrum cable. Usually what happens when I get an interview is I feel too tired to go so I just end up smoking weed instead.

Honestly I don't get why you guys are so angry. I've held jobs before and payed taxes. The way I see it im just recouping my money.

nigger

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laffer_curve

I work and get about $95 a month in EBT. It really makes the difference.

Thanks for 100% confirming you're just trolling, OP.

I'm glad I got approved for EBT. I used to spend about $200 a month on groceries but now I get over $700 a month. I'm able to make a lot of dishes that I could never afford before.

>pay taxes all of your life
>don't use the programs that your tax dollars pay for when you need it
That's just moronic.

>lives in a household of 5 or more
So how many kids do you have exactly?

None, I take care of my parents and siblings.

is this supposed to mean anything? do you actually think we're over the apogee of taxation in the US?

here's another solution: rich people/corporations actually start paying their taxes instead of hiring lawyers to weasel their way out of every cent

Fuck off you poor piece of shit.

>technically in the income bracket that qualifies me for EBT
>still make enough to spend roughly 75-100 bucks a week on groceries and not have it hurt too bad so I don't bother with EBT
We're all gonna make it bros.
