Welfare cards need to refresh on Mondays

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Why should I have to be subjected to this on a day I don't have to work?These fuckers can go tomorrow.

I'm just saying that I know I have to work so 50 percent of the country can stay home somehow, I just wish they would refill their electronic benefits on a Monday if it would otherwise be the first day of the month on a weekend.

That way I don't have to see it first hand. I could barely get through an aisle. Not to mention all the checkers had to work today.

The problem is Mexicans. If there were no Mexicans, there would be no Produce Sections, so stores would have more square feet to spread out the real groceries. Then all us sleeveless honkies would have elbow room to show off our freckly biceps.

About 150M of 320M are employed.

If there are 320 million of us, why is the labor force only 157 million? Do they only count the ones on some list? Seems like a real low number.

SNAP benefits renew on the day of the month that corresponds to the last number of a recipients' Social Security number, so you'll be rubbing elbows with "these fuckers" through next weekend.

bullshit. Show proof that Nevada doesn't renew on the first.

That is how it works in Oregon.

Nope. Not in Nevada. It's a fukn madhouse in Winco today.

It took forever to find the answer, I read multiple times where nobody will know you're using it before I found this page that told me when they are released.

And it ain't Mexicans. I saw more mullets on kids today than when I was in High School in the early 90s.

I found that too. It only took me a couple minutes

google when do Nevada snap benefits refresh, or when do Nevada welfare cards reload and it doesn't just pop up.

I wish they would do what Oregon does at the least. We made the mistake of getting up early and going hiking on the Amargosa Trail by my house. Henderson has amazing parks and trails. We should have gone grocery shopping first, if you get there before 10 it isn't a zoo like it is when the people who don't work finally roll out of bed and get their free shit.

I love how when people debate this they get defensive about people buying fruit loops and frozen burritos but I see it with my own eyes every time. If they did it everywhere like they do here maybe more people would see the truth.

I like how I get to see 2 skinny white chicks with neck tattoos shopping with a baby in the cart. The oldest one is usually about 35 and you see her grandchild we are all feeding. Awesome.

It was the 7th one down when I googled: "when do snap benefits renew nevada"

 

[donkiez]

Or just adjust your shopping habits so you dont have to be there on the 1st. There are 29 other options

Cause obama!

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Did that change in Oregon? I used to work for winco while In college and it would be a madhouse on the 1st with people and their ebt cards. We would also be told that they replenished on the first and basically all checkers would have to work that day if it was on a weekend

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Also, yeah I'd just try to go shopping a different day. I know I get pissed at these people. Some of them buy the best meats and blow through the Oregon trail money on the first, then complain about how cheap the state is in giving them food stamps by the 20th because all they can afford is top ramen.

Also hate seeing a cart full of soda, chips, candy, sugar cereal, and cheese crackers , then they whip out the food stamps card. There should be a nutritional guideline like WIC

Don't swallow Republican talking points. Most of those people are either too old, too young, or too disabled to work.

 

[dviss1]

Yep.... Let's start a whole thread to rant about poor people.

Newsflash: in the time it took to write your post complaining about the poor schlub who bought a Snickers with his Oregon Trail Card, GE just stole about 9K from us....

That's straight up bullshit. The GOP can suck my dick. They're 90 percent responsible for this crap.

I'm the type of sucker they love, if I voted. They'll pander to people who think like me the whole time they are taking money from giant corporations that fleece us all.

To anyone who says avoid shopping during that time, we do. With Halloween and eating a bit worse we decided to get up and climb the mountains behind our house. Didn't dawn on us until it was too late. If we'd have just went shopping before 9 or so we'd have missed them because they sleep in.

I just want it like Oregon at least where they spread it out. I still prefer they do it on a Monday so I can feel free to use one of my hopefully two days off to get some errands done.

Hey, at least the suckers buying pizza pockets and chips and soda don't have to work. They're the smart ones I suppose.

I noticed one woman buying raw foods while we were there. If you don't guess Hispanic you're not paying attention.

The corporations are smart, they give them free money and then sell them gruel packaged as premade food and get the money right back.

Have you ever stopped eating processed foods and then tried to eat a Hot Pocket? I have and it's amazing what you realize when you do.

You don't really know what you talking about. Most people that get food stamps work. Those that don't are either children or old people. People that get welfare are eligible. Not the lazy "welfare queens" that Reagan created.

No offense, but your opinion on the matter is no more truer than Bodyman's. Ha ha ha . . . I love how you call him full of shit and then pronounce to the board that you know absolutely what people on food stamps do, but use words like "most", while attributing things to Reagan, LOL.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I've seen first hand what food stamps looks like as a cashier at a grocery store for a few years. It's definitely eye opening

I never said this... these are your words...

Reagan is the one who coined the word "Welfare Queen". This is what I'm talking about. Welfare fraud is basically nonexistent.

And, it's true. Most people on food stamps have jobs. See Wal-Mart employees.

http://www.hungercoalition.org/food-stamp-myths


Myth #1: People who get SNAP don’t work.
FACT: The overwhelming majority of SNAP recipients who can work do so. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, "Among SNAP households with at least one working-age, non-disabled adult, more than half work while receiving SNAP—and more than 80 percent work in the year prior to or the year after receiving SNAP. The rates are even higher for families with children—more than 60 percent work while receiving SNAP, and almost 90 percent work in the prior or subsequent year."

What's more, many SNAP participants aren't physically able to work. About 20 percent of SNAP participants are elderly or have a disability, according to the USDA.

Myth #2: SNAP is a drain on taxpayers.
FACT: Every $1 in SNAP benefits generates $1.73 in economic activity, according to Moody's economist Mark Zandi. SNAP not only helps low-income people buy groceries, it frees up cash for other expenses, such as medical care, clothing, home repairs and childcare. That benefits local businesses and their employees, which boosts the economy as a whole.

Myth #3: SNAP is rife with fraud and abuse.
FACT: “SNAP has one of the most rigorous quality control systems of any public benefit program,” according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. SNAP fraud has actually been cut by three-quarters over the past 15 years, and the program’s error rate is at an all-time low of less than 3 percent. The introduction of EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) cards has dramatically reduced consumer fraud. According to the USDA, the small amount of fraud that continues is usually on the part of retailers, not consumers.

Myth #4: SNAP benefits go to undocumented immigrants.
FACT: Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for SNAP. Documented immigrants can only get food stamps if they've lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with exceptions for refugees, asylees and children). In fact, immigrants are far less likely to apply for food stamps because they worry about jeopardizing their immigration status and because the application process is especially daunting for non-English speakers.

Important: SNAP is a nutrition program run by the USDA and is not considered a welfare program. Receiving SNAP benefits will not affect a documented immigrant’s immigration status or any effort to gain U.S. citizenship.

Myth #5: Hunger isn't a problem in my community.
FACT: More than 658,000 people in the five-county region get SNAP, a 56 percent increase since the start of the recession. See the most recent figures on SNAP participation in Pennsylvania.

Myth #6: SNAP leads to unhealthy eating habits and obesity.
FACT: National studies show no significant link, positive or negative, between food stamps and healthy eating. Nor do they demonstrate a relationship between food stamps and weight gain.

The saddest part is that people that are either entirely out of the workforce or unemployed are an inevitability and and an aim of free market economics. A surplus of potential workers is necessary to better control wages and ensure profit. Then there are the realities that there just aren't enough jobs paying a living wage, that people aren't just tools of production and finance, and that people deprived of food will either riot, steal, or die. Having such qualms with food stamps is of a perverse mindset to say the least, because the alternate reality of a state without such welfare is starvation and chaos.

 

[Denny Crane]

Yeah, too bad there aren't enough entrepreneurs to start business to hire workers.
