Is Boxed Food or CRations the final solution to the EBT question ?

The EBT question.
Some people really need the help.
Those who could use the leg up rarely get it
EBT is spent on Redbull, Monster.
What else ?
Can pre packaged nutrition food help solve the EBT problem ?

I like cooking though and I can spend my EBT at farmer's markets.

So a breadline then?
and are you going to pander to their dietry requirements like faith based requirements, medical requirements?
Does toiletries come with that? how about bills for electric and gas? water bill? telephone and travel?
Then what about clothing, light bulbs, batteries and the like? people need more than food.
Medicines, bandages and plasters?
You see why they just sling what is known as living expenses at people yet?
If they choose to waste it that is their prerogative, they don't get any more.
It's just a shame for those with kids who waste child support on drugs and booze.
Maybe they should all have regular visits by child welfare workers to investigate that the kids are meeting a healthy standard of living.

>EBT is spent on Redbull, Monster.

You think people spend it on energy drinks?

Blacks and Mexicans don't drink Monster or Red Bull, it's a white people (and asian people) thing. They buy barbecue potato chips and iced tea.

Not a bread line.
The Bread gets delivered to your house

Bravo
I've got white trash in my clan that spends their EBT on Redbull and muscle powder

Don't forget the muscle Milk
its a dietary supplement

you're a nigger if you have EBT

fucking die, nigger

so thats more expense then, paying people to deliver and the fuel costs.
I think you now see why just giving a basic living expenses income to survive makes more sense.

Making more sense would be taxing the 1% on a higher rate to pay for it bitch

Fair Tax
10% Across the Board
For 1% and the rest

they already do.
do you think Billy pushing the trolleys at Tesco pays the same tax rates as the person who owns Tesco?

what is EBT?

This. Doesn't matter what race you are if you utilize EBT you're a fucking nigger.

EBT should be illegal to spend on luxury items
If others have to pay for your food, fuck you, you get subsistence

It's free food if you are poor they give people credit card looking things and then they can "buy" stuff with it. All subsized by the tax payers.

youtube.com/watch?v=KH0t3JSxOGo

If you're slightly motivated you can get EBT cash in the USA instead of EBT snap.
You can buy liqour and cigarettes with EBT cash.

I've been told places in the hood will let you spend like 30.00 on a bag of potato chips and give you a bottle of liquor as a free gift

"free market"

sure thing faggot, lets get a little more regulation in here!

Receiving tax money to spend is NOT free market, dipshit

Yea, been to those shops in California and New York. They do the same thing with crack pipes and weed pipes too but you have to be very chill or they will tell you to piss off.
The EBT cash though is something anyone can get you just need a mildly believable reason for needing money instead of stamps and they give it to you just like SNAP. You can't have both I don't think.

Oh, it's worse than that. Often EBT cards are sold on craigslist at some % of face value, just to get the cash out of the EBT. Or in WV, people will use their EBT to buy shitloads of soda which they then sell to someone at 50% face value, to get the cash.

I dunno. There's so many things about the Murican economy that are fucked up, it's hard to know where to start, OP.

I will say this about the whole EBT SNAP system - if it wasn't for that, you would've been seeing serious bread lines years ago, like in the bad old days. There are a shitload of people that depend on those food stamps these days.

Welfare. Food stamps. Gibsmedat.

Hello. I am from Europe and I am not fat.
What is EBT?

Okay, I see.

I've seen the EBT cards on Craigslist for sale
I've almost reported them.
It was tempting I had actually thought about calling the media or someone or doing a youtube video

People will always find a way to game it. They got more time than you do, right? In fact all they got is time on their hands, to sit and think. And although niggers may be slow in their thinkin', again, they got more time to do that thinkin'

Can you explain for non-americans what is EBT?

Its where you tax people, then take the money you taxed them for, and distribute it among them in credit cards, and take a loan to pay for all the bureaucracy you just did.

Is it a loan though, if the lenders all have a gun pointed at them, I wonder?

Protein powder is actually a decent use of ebt. I buy it, but i work a physically demanding job 60 hours a week. I need the protein to keep me employed and yoked

Oh, and you take a loan to keep the gun operational too, almost forgot.

You shouldn't be able to buy junk food with it

In the USA
there is food stamps for those in need of food
These used to be physical food bills that could be used to pay for food and drinks. Nothing prepared.

With the change of Technology, everything went to the Electronics Benefit Card (EBT)
While some people need this help as a means to get back on their feet, it is often abused by layabouts and do nothings that just leach off of the government.

I have one in my family

What does it matter?
I can just buy food with my stamps, saving cash for alcohol that way.
The influx of wealth still increases my alcohol consumption, as I have more cash left after buying the food via the card.

I'm talking about protein powder for 30-40 year old man children whom are body building when not watching ESPN on mom's couch collecting EBT

Technically EBT stands for Electronic Benefits Transfer. It's a debit card you get from the gubmint that can only be spent on food at grocery stores and some restaurants.

It's a cheaper way to distribute the dole than the old way which involved mailing food coupons to the niggers. And initially it was thought much less prone to abuse, but that has proven incorrect over time as the niggers have found ways around converting it into cash.

Back in the old days you could get cash change for your food stamps, and they took great advantage of that to buy things that gave back as much cash as possible and then once they had enough real money, they'd effectively buy their cigarettes and beer with their food stamps.

Niggers gonna nig.

No. Its how it was before, and the logistics don't work.

Has /pol considered emailing working girls on Backpage or Craigslist to see if they take EBT ?

I thought that in the greatest generation,
that you would be given Canned meat and C Rations

Leave me out of it, the federal government hardly ever listens to anything I have to say.

Yes, there should be stricter regulations for EBT users. But we don't need soviet style bread lines. They'll argue that all non processed food is expensive, which is bullshit. Chicken is dirt cheap, so are non organic vegetables.

Just don't fuck up and buy 12 limes.

says whom?
they have to live within a system they were born into, they have to work when they can get work within that system, therefor they should be afforded the same freedoms and receive a reasonable amount of cash to be able to survive within said system.
If they choose to waste that money then that is for them to worry about when they have poor health and empty cupboards.

More to the point, if you make using the EBT system too onerous, the niggers will just find ways of converting it all into cash and then spending the cash as they see fit.

I can tell a lot of you would make for idiot politicians. Perhaps that why our politicians are such idiots after all...

...

Theyre truly shameless about it

No let them spend their money on shit, more eugenic

i'm not sure why we have not conducted some type of campaign with regards to Rockstar and the EBT shit

I'm a neet and my mom uses ebt to buy me cheetos

regulating how its spent is NOT free market dipshit, are you retarded? if you are pro free market, then you should not be promoting making anything LESS free market, unless you are retarded

No, they just use that free emergency room once they get fat enough for it to be a problem.

EBT cards are snack coupons and drug bargaining for poor people, completely wasted money creating even more problems

corn bread, beans, rice, and fat back. No one needs more than that to survive.

We don't give food stamps here we give out money, it is a set amount which has been worked out to ensure a basic standard of living.
You may have heard the term dole before, this means the Department of Living Expenses but now it is a cross section of benefits awarded depending on circumstances.
If a benefits recipient spends that money on smack and beer then they have to live with the fact that by the end of the week they will have nothing in the cupboards to eat, that is their own choice because people have to live with their decisions.

On a similar note, how does pol feel about SNAP or EBT for college students who are broke but still working at least 20 hours a week?

So fruit and vegetables, bathroom products, bus fares to job interviews, clean clothes, personal hygiene, clean running water, electricity and heat aren't required?

When I was in college.
I tried to get EBT while I was off for a month. between semesters looking for a job
I was denied because of the 20 hour a week rule.
The woman told me it was an outdated system.

AT&T offers EBT recipients $10 internet access that's three times the speed of what I pay $34 for.

why the fuck would i want all of the ghetto foreigners the u.s has to eat more nutritional

keep giving them sugar and fat for god sakes

It's literally the only way I was able to feed myself through college. I bought potatoes, eggs, canned chicken, and generally other food that was relatively healthy and lasted a longer time without spoiling.

You can get all that. You just have to be aware of dem programs whats got what you needs. Our local school district, which serves 3200 kids, spends 3 million dollars a year to provide free breakfast, free lunch, and summer food, plus fruit and vegetable nutrition. Our parent teacher association meetings give out door prizes and serve fried chicken or fish to get parents to come to the meetings. You have no idea the extent to which this stuff is done in America.

>You think people spend it on energy drinks?

Drinks like that, and regular soft drinks, are currency. Don't you even EBT? You can trade that shit for cash fifty cents on the dollar.

I saw a Jack in the Box here in Los Angeles that accepts EBT.

Because it defeats the entire point of the program? The program itself is anti-free market and creates artificial demand in places where there should be less at the expense of shifting capital from upper layers where it is demanded the most. The free-market thing to do would be to abolish it all together. Lifting restrictions on what it can be spent on would reduce it from "bread lines but more stream line" socialism to straight up "direct redistribution of wealth" communism.

Nothing about it or changes you propose makes it more or less free market.

EBT means Electronic Benefits Transfer. It's like American Express for poor people.

Here in Illinois you get about 100 a month on EBT as a single adult.
You don't need expensive boxed meals. You need basic life skills such as "rudimentary cooking skills."

big bag of lentils or other high-protein legume: 5 dollars, will last you a dozen meals
huge bag of GOOD rice that will last you months: 20 dollars
rice cooker: 20 dollars
bulk chicken breast: 9 dollars, separate into portions in plastic bags & freeze
big tub of oatmeal: 4 dollars
bananas: so cheap it doesn't even matter
eggs: 2 dollars a dozen

You've already got your bases covered mostly and that isn't even the entire month's EBT, and much of that will last you far longer than a month.

The problem is people think the problem lies in the system, the cost of food, and not in the food they are eating. This is a problem I am still struggling with, because my family did not cook much growing up. We're so accustomed to thinking we should just get cheaper pre-packaged garbage and get free money to eat takeout or fast food, but not only are these things horrible for your health, they're horrible for your pocketbook.
When you cook for yourself, it's healthy and cheap.

Some good recipes I've learned on the cheap:
Breakfast Rice scramble: So fucking delicious. Take a serving of rice, fry two eggs, one scrambled, one fried with soft yolk. (google how to do that) Take a few pinches of shredded cheese, and if you have some bulk sausage (polish sausage at polish grocery stores here in chicago is ridiculously inexpensive) put one of those in there chopped up. Just use the same pan you cooked the eggs in to cook the sausage. Takes 3 minutes.
The egg yolk that's soft mixes in with the rice and it tastes fucking amazing, you have meat and eggs and cheese, and if you're not lazy you can take a few pieces of broccoli and chuck it in the pan with the sausage. Drizzle a little of whatever you want on there, ketchup is good, maple syrup is good, your hot sauce of choice, or salsa. Will post more 1 sec

so your position is absolutism?

youre literally saying theres no degrees of free market-ness, something is either 100% pure free market or it isnt, and theres no grey area between the two.


great argument, youve got a solid handle on what youre talking about and a well reasoned position, have a good day friend.

EBT money goes right back into the system. Niggers and other poor trash are mechanisms for transfer. The money passes through them to businesses then ripples throughout the economy.

Poor trash are trash. Bribe them and they'll stay quiet. There will never be jobs for them because they are incurably stupid.

Small businesses need to be taxed less and big corps need to be taxed more. We also need to put a total block on any countries product that uses slave labor. I.e the entirity of asia. Fix inflation. Gas the jews and send the niggers back to the jungle. Problem solved. Oh, and annex mexico and set up some gas chambers for the native population because the cant be cured of their stupidity.

>eggs: 2 dollars a dozen
right, isnt this bullshit? a year ago, i swear it was like 1.20/dozen. do jews own the big egg industry?

For some of you neets out there just imagine you're playing breath of the wild. Mix a meat and a vegetable, some kind of spice, and a small amount of a starch, and you get the max heart replenishment. I always joke that hot meals like that replenish my "mana." Something about a warm homecooked meal does help your soul.
Meat n' Potatoes for the single man on the go:
You probably don't have a grill unless you're decent financially or live with your parents, but that doesn't mean you don't have options.
I'll teach you how to make an acceptable steak using only your stove.
Step 1. Does your oven have a broil setting? We'll need that.
Step 2. Go to store (again, polish grocery store if at all possible for meat, everything else is costly but the deli is always cheaper and better quality than a chain grocer) and buy specifically "top round" or "eye of round" steak. If you don't see it ask the clerk. A pack of 3 steaks should cost you 6 bucks all told.
3. Come home and freeze the two you aren't using. Get some olive oil in a pan and heat it up a little first, you want it on high heat. We're gonna sear both sides to lock in the juice
4. Throw the steak on there, but only for a few seconds to brown the outermost surface of the steak. Flip to repeat, and then get it out of there and onto a small baking sheet.
5. Chuck that shit in the oven. 500 degrees with broil setting for no longer than 4 minutes for blue, 5 minutes for rare, 5:20-ish for medium rare, 5:40 for medium well, anything else is shit and you should kill yourself.
6. Take a potato. You should be going for bulk bags of potatoes, but for extra nutrition you can pay 30 cents per potato to upgrade to sweet potatoes.chuck the potato in there with the steak.Or microwave it even man fuck, just poke holes in it with a fork or even cut it laterally /w a knife
8. Use your steak sauce of choice, A1, generic A1 ripoff at your store, or even ketchup if you wanna be like trump. Put butter on the potato.
Enjoy nigger

You can't really tax corporations because they just pass the taxes on to the customers. What should be done is taxing of the board of directors and shareholders.

It probably depends where you live. The exact price is lower than 2 for sure, I just know that I've never seen eggs over 2 dollars unless you count those shit brown eggs. You can eat free range grass fed eggs when you're either a) going full varg mode or b) making over 60,000 dollars a year.

this would be considered racist somehow. In my teenage years I sold pot...and this nigger always traded me groceries for pot..$30 of EBT for a 20 sack. He isn't the only nigger who does this. they do it for everything.

Yeah, probably. They can't be trusted to make good decisions and really they want the government doing all the deciding for them so it seems like a good option.
Give them the same choices like school lunches.

They use EBT because any form of welfare that doesn't give the moolies the illusion of spending power will disintegrate their illusion of freedom.

Lifting restrictions on EBT makes it a direct redistribution of wealth instead of government enforced charity. NEITHER of those are free market and they are equal in the amount distortion they make in the market sense the capital taken from the higher levels is the same as it was before and the amount of the artificial demand put out is the exact same as before. With no restrictions you are simply moving the entry point of hijacked capital from food to something else. Less demand on food and higher demand on everything else spread out far would see food prices drop slightly from loss sales dependent on EBT and slight price increases in everything now subsidized by the "free money" the government is handing because they can.

The total net effect is negated by itself and the total non subsidize person will likely see no change as they more then likely buy a even mix of non-essentials and essentials so the minor price increases/decreases cancel themselves out on the spread. All you've accomplished is making it easier for shitty parents to fuck over their kids by allowing them to directly buy cigs and booze and ignore food entirely increasing child starvation to the same rate it was prior to EBT.

Good job not only have you done nothing to help the free market you also have failed to soothe bleeding hearts (possibly your own). Guess what new program is going to be implemented to fix that.

there are ebt atms inside dispensaries in cali

Fun fact: For most of 2015 I went on food stamps, and went off them when I no longer needed them. I found that my EBT covered more than my grocery consumption each month as a single adult every month.

Easy panini nigger
Step 1: Go to goodwill, savers, any store like that, buy a george foreman grill. They're safe usually because people buy them around january to "get fit in the new year FINALLY" and then donate them by may, so it's seen maybe a few times of use because they suck for actually cooking meat.
2. Instead of a grill, you're going to use this as a FUCKING panini press. Go to ethnic grocery store, buy loaf of wheat bread (or if you can make your own bread, do that, it's fucking easy and you can do it in your oven), lunch meat from the actual deli is 5 bucks for a big pound, get thin slices so it lasts longer. Turkey or chicken are pretty universally good. Get whatever cheese suits your fancy, but swiss, provolone, or meunster are less processed and fairly economical. get thin slices also so it goes longer. The rule is 1 meat 1 cheese 1 vegetable 1 sauce/condiment. Experiment to find your fav.
5. Make a sandwich.
6. Put it on the george foreman grill for however long suits you, should only take a minute or two if it's hot
You can also make a panini, and then bag it for later to avoid some of the shit that comes with bagging a sandwich (sauce leaking into the bread, shit falling apart etc)
Eating healthy is so inexpensive it hurts. Even if you aren't on EBT you should be doing this.
Now I try to cook and then treat myself to one meal out a week instead of eating zog chow every day. Never eat mcdonalds unless an emergency, it's always cheaper and better to make a panini, and faster too if you're already home /w ingredients

believe it or not they dont use the internet much, thats why they are cutting them a deal

>niggers
>bothering to cook when theres KFC

This would fix our obesity problem and our healthcare problem.

Why is the Pentagon losing $6.5 trillion tax dollars a low priority?

Sell MRE's to niggers. They'll get a job and buy their own food immediately.

>job interviews
>personal hygiene
>clean clothes
I don't think you understand the NEET lifestyle senpai

bachelor chef user again, got one more tip. Feeling too fucking lazy to cook? Well first off, you don't want to feel that way too often as it's linked to your motivational circuit in your brain, so rewarding your laziness is toxic to your life. But sometimes we've had a long day and don't want to cook. You got options for those days, senpai.
First off, keep a couple cans of a good soup you like around. They're 2 bucks a pop, which isn't GREAT compared to making your own soups, but 2 bucks for a can of premium soup is a damn sight better than 10 bucks for fast food. Go all out, get the all natural chunky soup or something, or amy's kitchen soup. This isn't every day, this is to keep you from fucking up due to laziness on a bad day. Just eat a chunk of bread with it and some crackers.

Another option is those bagged dry soup mixes, the ones campers use. I Try to have 3 of those in my pantry at all times because they're actually fucking delicious, and it makes several servings. Just tupperware and freeze the leftovers so you have a few days of soup, and it lasts for quite literally over a year in the freezer. I just microwaved some minestrone I froze in january last year and it tasted damn fresh.
Another option: Beans and rice. They got all kinds of decent flavors, but there's canned beans with bacon in it, just put that on a serving of rice (and if you're not a nigger and have some rice and a rice cooker, this takes 10 minutes and zero effort) and scoop it up with a cracker.

Or even buy some of those frozen vegetables like brown sugar carrots or broccoli with cheese. They're 2 bucks a pop, but it's a lot of vegetables and Eating a 3 serving package of Broccoli with cheese is a damn sight better than eating a big mac with a medium fry.
I gotta leave for work, but you get the jist guys.

soda, chips, cookies and ramen

What would solve the EBT problem is to end welfare.

A third of the people rely on welfare of some kind. Simply ending it will cause widespread panic and chaos.

so?

food stamps gave me diabetes no lie

but maybe im just stupid and i would have gotten it anyways if i had my own money

A more nuanced solution would be that if you want to apply to EBT you need to be sterilized. So long as the government is footing the bill
the tax payers should have the right to turn it into a eugenics program.

It was never meant to be a permanent solution only temporary help, but the advent of "welfare families" strains an already strained system they need to be phased out humanly.

youre just jealous

your taxes could be 60% instead of 20% right now and you would still be saying the same thing

as if the government spending is effecting you

Earnings Before Taxes?

I hope you enjoy the idea of a second US civil war. Knowing Sup Forums, you do.

You put up a tasty ration photograph, but mandatory EBT CRation boxes would cost $14 each and contain $0.75 of slop.

People on EBT buying prepackaged food is the main problem with foodstamps

>You have no idea the extent to which this stuff is done in America.
I'm not disputing that there are things in place for kids like that, what I am saying is people need a lot more than a food stamp to survive.
It is easier to provide an amount of cash which is what an in depth study has decided you can realistically survive on and provide for yourself and to maintain a reasonable standard of living in your home and travel to get to and from job interviews while remaining healthy and clean with your utility bills accounted in the fund.
This is what is done in the UK, it is a law that the government must provide this, when somebody receives their letter to say what they will receive it even says on it "what the law says you have to live on" which is altered each year to account for inflation.
If that person then uses that money to spend on steak and wine then you and I both know that costs more than fruit and vegetables.
So if that person uses it on cigerettes and beer alongside their wine and steak then they wont have enough to survive on therefore they must learn as adults to budget their money and even better to attempt to get a job.
It's a system that works well enough, are there people who will stick to living off hand outs? sure, but those people will never progress in life and will always be stuck on that limitation of what they have to live on.

food stamps gives me $6.50 a day to live off

and people are jealous of that?

or mad at people on ebt?

lel

thats not a problem actually

if you buy more expensive shit then thats ur fault for not planning ahead and you wont have any left at the end of the month
