How much longer can we support SNAP/EBT abuse?

Before anyone says this is political it’s not. It’s actually societal norms.

Long story short, I went to Costco today to buy five items. It literally look like people were preparing for hurricane from the top (3) marginalized groups:

Queenz: there was probably 10 of them shopping. Almost all of them obese, and two of them riding dirty on the electric carts. Their shopping baskets were absolutely unapologetically the fullest. Those that look like diabetics were buying the beetus causing things. One woman had what I’m sure was her kid pulling a second cart.

Messicans: they look like the most responsible shoppers from product choices, but once again basket so full, it would top over. The only satisfaction I got is that they did look a little nervous like they could be taken out by ice at any minute..

Ms Alohasnackbar: in fairness, I only saw two beekeeper, but I think both of them had more kids in tote than the Queenz. Their baskets were interesting for sure. They did have what look like some healthy stuff but then on the flipside they were buying a lot of junk food as well. They walk with a certain entitlement on top of that just like Queensz.

Enough of all of that - Anyway, is there anything that can be done about the fraud and abuse of welfare?

There’s nothing you can do about it. Focus your energy on something positive.

Did you see snap/ebt cards or are you just assuming?

We have to do something about this. We pay more so they can get shite free. It’s infuriating.

Because of public shame, current EBT snap benefits are distributed via a regular looking credit cards so no I couldn’t tell what they were paying with. I am honest about that.

That said, you have to be a big fricking idiot to not identify easy blatant sponging off the system. If you were there witnessing it, it’s pretty obvious.

So you go on a racist rant with absolutely no proof? Don't worry, there are enough bigoted fricktards here to give you the validation you desperately seek.

Isn't Costco literally a bulk buying store to lower the cost to the consumer. It must suck to be from a main group of society with all of the advantages that entails, and be so inadequate that you look at marginalized groups shopping and wonder how they are able.

All you have to do is look at the register screen when they are checking out and it will clearly show the EBT discount applied after they swipe the card.

Around 30-40% of one demographic is on EBT / SNAP from
what I remember.

Cry more. People on long term EBT without a valid medical disability are complete and utter trash, much like white leftists.

If you're greatly concerned about wasted taxpayer $$ please never learn about something called the war on terror

The last time I was at Costco it was full of Asians.

And since it is a place that specializes in bulk I never know if they're buying for family, a business or whatever.
