What about: crab legs, steak, soda. Those I have seen people with food stamps buy entire carts full of at the grocery store. No doubt that is the most visible, but such things should be banned as well.

Agreed, if it's a splurge for me working 40+ hours, it should not be something that you can get on benefits. I think ground beef and chicken and pork are fine to purchase, but if it's something you'd buy for a night with the bros or a fancy dinner to impress in laws, it should be off the purchasable items.
That and it would teach people that you can spend $20 bucks at the store on simple, plain ingredients and make something killer and good for you.

I don’t know what’s wrong with crab legs and steak, but soda should absolutely be banned from being snap-purchasable.

I'm so happy with the DOGE knife to the heart of all the government faggotry, and it happening so quickly.

But to be totally honest, the ease and speed at which it is occuring fills me with a strange form of trepidation. Like... it was this easy? All it took to end this fucking nightmare bullshit was someone to just have the balls to say "stop"? Maybe it's just my uneducated eyes thinking it looks easy, but the thought that it could have been gutted out long ago bothers me deeply.

Honestly, if we could get a lot of this food pricing under control, I'd be more inclined to cook more and less reliant on a lot of TV Dinner style meals. My only road block is meat being fucking expensive where I'm at.

i'd like to see the state-wide programs for farmer's markets expanded, maybe have there be a system where people with snap can get a certain amount of fresh meat per week free, the government could use some of its subsidies in farming on things besides corn without having to feel bad about taking them away and potentially destroying the farmer vote.

Good news: Fatpacks survived DOGE due to a glitch. You see, he was already inside a crystal, so Elon just “fixed” the problem and stopped Fatpacks’ payroll without dismissing him. Fatpacks will be stuck in the crystal, and occasionally his tiny burger hands will escape the crystal prison and type something here, but he’ll DO IT FOR FREE now.

@Fatpacks is Vance communicating to us from 2 parallel universes away, were you not informed already?

It's hilarious to watch modern "police bodycam" videos where they're arresting a nigger. They literally always scream (loudly, with lungs filled with air) "I can't breeve," along with the tried-and-true "I dindu nuffin'," and of course they always trot out the racism card too. And every single time, you can see the cops are just completely done with that shit. It never works, and all they get for their trouble is a free ride to jail.

Equally funny are the activists who claim brutality, get shown the body cam footage that disproves their claims, and then double down on their claims and criticize the officers for properly using their body cams.

I can't help thinking about the wild claims from Detroit during the Summer of (2020) Love that police shot an unarmed innocent dindu in the back. Then-Chief Craig chose to immediately to release the bodycam footage that debunked the claims and showed the perp being the aggressor and shooting at people before police intervened.

Not even indisputable video evidence will keep these folks from making, insisting, and doubling down on their lies. It's no wonder only their orbiters and beta cucks believe anything they say at face value.

My only road block is meat being fucking expensive where I'm at.

Meat prices are also increasing here even at the market that sells it slightly cheaper than the regular grocery stores.

now that there’s someone who wants to enact real change managing HHS i would love for anyone in that department to look into fixing welfare benefit cliffs.

Government seems to have a thing for benefit cliffs in genrral. Somethig similar exists with Obama Care subsides where even a slight increase in income can result in a disproportionate increase in one's monthly premiums and annual deducitble amounts.

Stuff like this needs to be on a gradual/sliding scale so it adjusts proportional to changes in income up to the eventual cutoff point. Unfortunately, that makes sense; and we know how mutually exclusive common sense tends to be with anything governmental.

I don’t know what’s wrong with crab legs and steak

My guess is, they tend to lean to the "luxury" side of food.

Giving a quick look at Walmart, you can buy 1.5lb of frozen crab legs (and some of that weight will be shells and brine) for just under $20. After some quick math, and just bothering to look at the first eight results, you can buy, for the same price: ~3lbs of ground chuck (and even more if choosing cheaper options), some 7lbs of boneless, skinless chicken breast, or 4 or so pounds of pork chops.

At worst, you get twice as much food per dollar (by weight) buying regular protein over crab legs.

OH SHIT GUYS, THERES A GENERAL STRIKE COMING!!!

https://generalstrikeus.com/

Comrades! Join with your fellow workers! Shut everything down until our demands are met!

When? Well… The date isn’t exactly set in stone yet…

View attachment 6984316

Once 11 million people sign the strike pledge, a date will be chosen though.

You can already feel the chill of fear going through the corridors of power and capital!

United, workers all around America will say loudly and proudly: “NOT A CENT SPENT, NOT A MINUTE OF OUR WORK UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET!”

Oh wait… What ARE the demands?

Are we striking for higher wages? A 35 hour work week? No wait, healthcare right?

Yeeees, kinda. You see the ACTUAL demands haven’t been made yet. First we need to get 11 million to sign up for a strike, and THEN we tell people what we’re going on strike for.
Makes sense? Yes.

And don’t worry comrade, you don’t need to worry about going on strike for something that you don’t support. You see there is a BROAD list of demands that has something for EVERYONE!

What demands? Well, in no order of importance:

So roll out the red flags and start practicing the lyrics for The Internationale, everyone! We’re going to sing on the picket line for the General Strike!

ARRRIIISE YOU VIIIICTIIIMS OF OPRRrrEEEESSSION FOOR THE TYYYRAAANTS FEEEAR YOUR MIIIGHT!

But none of these people work. How do they go on Strike from not working? Get a job? I find this sus.

Seafood isn't luxury, it's actually relatively cheap if you know where to look.

The issue is that most seafood has a higher level of skill and preparation needed to make it turn out well and the cooking skills of most Americans ends at turning on the microwave.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but a large chunk of profit for both Pepsi and Coke is directly from EBT. Shit is so fucked.

I've always wanted them to increase EBT and limit it to real food like meat, fruit, veggies etc so people can actually get healthy. It would be so easy to do since they just flag the items as EBT eligible it could be changed very quickly.

Food industry would change VERY quickly if all of a sudden their top selling slop was not EBT eligible. Also stop allowing that shit to be used at fast food places its a total disaster.

Or they can stop killing cows so that beef is cheaper and can be eaten more often. Crab legs aren't that expensive are they ?

 

[Jace on ice]

One thing I've wondered but rarely see discussed is it possible that virtually every illegal being given a comically large amount of food stamps/EBT a contributing factor to food inflation?
