Re: EBT card not working
I've been having this feeling lately that I have to store water. My family thinks I'm nuts because now I have been filling and storing milk jugs with water. Maybe I've just been on GLP for too long .

This turning off of the EBT card to me is a test. What if they turn off the supply of water to your home next ? How long would you all last ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30666766


You are not crazy. I live alone and have stocked up around 200 bottles, plus canned food and a shit ton of ammo. I'm prepared to nail my doors shut and block off the back of my place that has no windows or doors. If I didn't need to sleep I can hold out quite a while. Sheer numbers is my worry. I have a good number of speed reloaders ready and extra guns, but only 2 hands. We will need an army if the shit that hits the fan is projectile diarrhea.

Re: EBT card not working
Yesterday some folks on here who banked at Chase were having difficulty in spending more then 1,000 on their debit card.

Chase is owned by JP Mogan.

JP Morgan also handles Food Stamps nationwide.

Looks like JP Morgan is in big time financial trouble.

****************

The stores have to give the stuff away for free if the EBT cards aint working!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 194730


That exact thinking is what will precede looting and rioting - that you have a right to take what you have not payed for.

Go right ahead get all your buddies together and march down to Wal-mart and start looting it, just don't complain if you get shot in the parking lot by the police.

The time to prepare was a month ago, people have been screaming for years to get off of government reliance. This should be a clear warning.

Listen EBT cars will soon be gone - forever. Use them to stockpile necessities while you can still use them - if it's not too late already.

Also confirming Louisiana. Just got out of the store. The cashier said they called this morning and were told that the whole system is down everywhere. Tech support said they didn't know why but it wasn't on their end. Walmart is honoring $100 sales (can only enter $100 at a time) to a max of $400. Don't know if that is everywhere, but it is in New Orleans on Tchoupotolus.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 40912250


Pay back is a bitch. They shot this video at THAT wally world. I could not step foot in that store for months after their management allowed this glorification of their getting rich off the system. Off the housing projects right off the parking lot of that location. Walmart on the edge of the PJS make it as easy as possible.

Re: EBT card not working
I pay more in taxes than these people earn so I'm trying to understand all of this.
The poor can:
Get section 8 housing vouchers
Food stamps
Free school lunches
Free cell phone
Free child care
Utility discounts
Unemployment

Am I missing anything ?

I must admit it would be hard to go from that to working for a living.

My family and i made sacrifices (no vacations, worked hard in school, grew a garden at my inlaws house, etc) knowing that by giving up a little would pay off in the long run.
We made good choices and did well and now to be paying for the people we know that partied all the time and dropped out of school is just frustating as hell.
I stared to figure out how much i have paid into
Unemployment
Social Security
Federal Tax
State Tax
Local Tax
Property Tax
Sales Tax
Worker Comp (for my employees)
Health care

But I had to stop because my blood pressure was getting to high.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7032422


Unemployment benefits? You have to have lost a job recently. It doesn't last forever and you have to look for work while getting it. Yes, some work fulltime or more but still need help, maybe just 50 buck/month. Don't confuse hard working folks who still live below poverty with lazy crapoodles who won't lift a finger. The ones that use the system can loose it, fine, but not the ones who are really working hard and still end up below level.

Re: EBT card not working

WRONG! There's a store right in my town that lets people buy anything with the food stamps - even cigs and alcohol. They just ring it up under "grocery" in the cash register and somehow get away with it. And I'm sure this store in my little town is not the only one.
 Quoting: *<3sugar&spice<3*


Another stupid post.
EBT cards have cash benefits on them also.Food stamps will only process for food but if you have cash benefits on them you can buy anything.Some people have their disability benefits and vet benefits added to the card if they dont want to use direct deposit via the bank.
I keep seeing dumb asses post this crap over and over .
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48255536


Again, wrong. I've stood in line and watched a person put a pack of beer on the counter and the cashier asks "do you want this put under cash or food", the person says food, and they do it. This store knows what they're doing, but don't care.
 Quoting: *<3sugar&spice<3*


You are full of shit.You can not ring up alcohol under food and the owner would be crazy to try to do so because he couldnt account for the alcohol or lack there of in inventory.I use to put my SS benefits on a card and my child support and I ran in to assholes like you often until I started telling their asses off at the check out.But most like you would never have balls to say it in person so you could be properly enlightened or told to m ind your own business.Its better to bitch on a place like this to look all high and mighty.

Re: EBT card not working
Do you people realize what other countries think of the United States of America right now? Do you realize what your country has become? Americans on food stamps, welfare and other handouts. A Congress that either can not (yes, I made it two words, for emphasis) or will not work together and is basically holding the world ransom while its spoiled-brat drama queens go off on a power trip to see who will give in first. Is it real or is it all a coverup for something else. It's disgusting is what it is. What a mess.

With all this craziness going on, convinced the roommate to run to Costco with me to stock up. YOU COULDN'T MOVE in there it was so crowded!! Took us over and hour to check out with all isles open. I hate rice and beans but loaded up just in case.
 Quoting: SeriouslyFolks


Rice, beans, pasta, sugar, salt, wheat, oats, all last forever. Flours last at least 10 years. Canned goods that are not acidic (i.e. tomatoes) 5+ years - acidic that is in plastic lined cans should be used in 18 months or less, glass jars 5+ years.

While you're there, stock up on a few bottles of Vodka. You can use it for a lot of things. Also, if you're certain the absolute end is very, very near, you can drink the Absolut.

Got several big bottles of vodka. One has vanilla beans soaking in there. Vanilla extract lasts forever and making your own saves you a bloody fortune. This will be a great trade item. Medically, it will clean wound areas. Don't let an alcoholic know you have booze - ever!!

you dummy, buy and store as much food with that card as you can. BASICS - rice, oatmeal bulk purchases go to a discount wholesaler and stockpile food.
