Hopefully you are picturing a burned out looted shell, because that is what would happen.

But in a perfect world, man that would be something else.

Do y’all understand just how many people aren’t working and are living off forced handouts from others?

Prices would drop 30-40%

Its especially galling when you think about they take your money and give it to bums and retards lowering your purchasing power and driving up demand.

Grocery stores would be a lot more safer instead of the all out war zones they are currently… that’s for sure.

Considering only about 30% of the population actually works and pays taxes.

All the morbidly obese queens have buggies piled full of soda, frozen dinners, steak, skrimps, gatorade, cake, crab claws etc.

1500 dollar phone, designer clothes,

at my local HEB you can always tell who has EBT and who doesn’t.

White families in their being very intentional with the spending and meal planning.

Then there’s a couple of big mamma’s in their pajamas mid day with a cart full and likely $400 worth of groceries the rest of us pay for.

Sounds nice. I wouldn't find refrigerated items left in the drink aisle.

Calvin's Bocage Market in Baton Rouge doesn't take EBT cards and the store is very nice with fully-stocked shelves and awesome chicken salad.

It would be so nice to go to a gas station and not have to drive around looking for a free pump because they left their shitboxes parked in front of the pump after getting $2.50 in gas and now they’re inside holding up the line getting lottery tickets and black and milds and their debit card won’t scan and they don’t give a flying frick about people behind them who have shite to do and places to go.

I've often thought that welfare was really just paying people to not commit crime.

Now imagine what the country would look like if all the EBT people were forced to work for a living, or starve to death.
