The problem with the EBT system is that it incentivizes people to not work.


I've been homeless before. I worked when I could. I got on welfare to try to make ends meet

>>941587609 (OP)
you simply can't print that much money and walk away like nothing happened

People are more likely to show up and work when their not starving
It's actually incentiving poverty wages. Without that minimum wage job becomes worthless as you might as well not work at all.

People are crashing out because they wont be able to get their snack food and sodas

40% of coca cola is ebt/snap sales.
it's all just corporate welfare with lots of extra steps.

>corporate welfare
keeping products you can not feed to animals on the shelfs for humans to eat, but without all that bullshit marketing the US is going to lose its shine. massive social changes quickly, define a scapegoat to maintain fincial flow and then fix the reputation of the scape goat.

or does it incentivize employers like walmart and mcdonalds to pay peanuts?

for modern money laundry to work, it needs a modern chimp-out to happen on a regular basis

Yup.
Corps which have employees on food stamps should have to pay extra taxes.
Otherwise we're subsidizing their cheap labor.
(Would also need to make "poor" a protected class for the sake of wrongful terminations or else they'd try to avoid hiring any poors who use SNAP/whatever.)

Instead of EBT they should have federal legumes and vegetable paste and bouillon cubes, with option to buy ground meat and flour only.

Learn what that phrase actually fucking means and come back when you're actually 18, fr fr.

>Corps ... on food stamps... extra taxes
hmmm that is cut and dry is there not precedent for it, seems like something that would have been tried.
promotes employeeing the young building experince over the old. i am missing something.

And their kids might starve... LoL!

I'm a manager at a grocery store. Even though it's not November yet, we've already seen about a 15% decrease in sales.(vs. This week last year) Attribute that to what you will. Because of this the regular employees will have their hours cut for the coming weeks. Most them are not on SNAP(some are). Regardless they will all be losing money over the next few weeks(at least).

I don't lose shit. I'll probably have to work overtime in fact to make up for the regular workers getting cut.

>I don't lose shit.
odd thing to say, complaining is common bragging not so much.

Should have stopped EBT 10 days after starting EBT or SNAP. Stop feeding people who are just ruining America. You people should get a job and provide for your family. If you can't even do that, don't have a family you fucking retards.
That about sums it up, but dumb people do dumb things. I mean America supports it and takes the government shutdown to finally end it. I'm hoping this shutdown lasts for a year and people will either get a job or die off.

I have some questions about the EBT system in the US. I've never used it, but I'm wondering what happens when you reach the maximum allotment for the month? Does the system just stop taking your requests, or does it continue to supply you with food?

>>941592535
i've been on ebt for nearly a year now. it's a good system, and it's good to have.

i work in a factory, and i get my ebt money added to my paycheck
