I don't plan on being in the middle of that mix.

There are a whole lot of others better prepared than I am. But I've got the plans plural that will allow us to get past those situations.

Are you asking what happens when civil society breaks down? That's gonna be ugly.

There are a few on here & elsewhere that are off the grid & self sufficient. I still have to work for a living (& pay for those EBT cards).

So I'm not at a destination yet - but still on a journey. I'm not sure I'll ever get to the end. Or maybe I will and it's my end. But I'm not quite ready to give up yet.

After the EBT cards don't work. Or your credit card. Then what?

That was my starting point. And I still have a long way to go. But I work at it. One piece at a time.

And maybe it's all a fruitless labor. And a big flash in the sky will lay all of my plans to waste. But at least I have plans. Most don't- so I reckon I'm a few miles ahead.

 

My six kids is hungry! They is entitled to food in Georgia.....

 

Never.
That's when yo emtitlmints be done acummin threwz.
Get a job, stop pooping out kids, and STOP expecting your massive life failures to be an issue for the rest of us.

"Mah babies (oldest is what, 15!?!) ain't ate since dis moning"
It's like 11am you turd. Stfu.

These people/those people can go visit a church. Ask their families. I gives zero effs if they starve or not.

 

I thought they took it pretty well. I've seen worse on Black Friday sales in the big box stores. They advertise TV's for $50 - limit 1. They have only 6 each location. Early person gets there and puts 3 in their cart. Waiting for some friends to come and get 1 from them. Fist fight breaks out and while they are going fist city other people took all 3 TVs. I guess I'm warped but I thought it was both funny and sad. If they'll fight over TVs wait until it is over the last canned goods, bread or case of water. Avoiding confrontation is the best policy to stay healthy. And that's why you should have a food supply on hand. And if $$ is a real issue it is even more important to have that food & water supply.

 

I don't know which is more offensive the welfare teat suckers crying about no food or the Bureaucrat teat sucker crying because of funding.

 

He's clearly racist so it must be him...[emoji19]

 

Top comment on the video....

You know what else feeds your children?

A job.

 

So many nasty replies too . . .

 

So many are complaining about not eating 'THAT DAY'

Who really only keeps enough food for one day? My parents do not 'prep' in any way shape of form, but still had a few days, weeks or month of food in the house.

 

Oh have no doubt... there is VERY likely food of all sorts in their gubmint subsidized castle. Remember though...let no chance be wasted that could be agendized to reflect how poorly those on the gubmint teat are treated. She was simply making sure we know someone in her family tree was likely a slave and we owe her.

 

This is one of many reasons I owned firearms --- but that boating accident

 

Something similar happened perhaps six months or a year ago down South. The word got out that EBT cards weren't working but Walmart(?) was letting shoppers go through and would process the transactions later. People went crazy loading up carts. Part way through it the systems came back online, people were mad... left multiple carts full of groceries just sitting in the aisles or in the checkout line.

 

Yes. I remember that. Many of them were trying to take advantage with the system down, taking much more than they had money available on their EBT cards

 

The first woman should have hocked that necklace and earrings if she was so concerned about her children eating.

The ones with the high dollar hair maintenance and salon nails should use the money they use to pay for that to buy food instead, because those curls and nails aren't done for free.

The obese ones should reduce their own food consumption so that there is more food left in the house for their children. I remember once my own mother not eating so that we kids could. I was too little to comprehend, she just told us she already ate. It was only years later I realized what she was doing.

Zero sympathy.

Absolutely zero.

 

That hair and nails dit dun cost her nuttin. She picked it up at a fire sale in ferguson. Or was it Baltimore?

 

Teach a person to fish, they appreciate the meal. That which isn't earned is rarely valued.

 

Many years ago when I worked at the welfare dept, a client cussed me. She stated I had denied her brother and he had to get a job. Getting a job was the worst thing she could think of? Looks like people in that area will have to get jobs.

 

Confusing use of 'logic' and 'reason' huh?

Too many on 'the system' believe they are entitled to be given all they want (not need) and become angry when they are forced to provide for themselves. Those with true reason can see the true reality, the others? They are just weight.

 

Food stamps will never run out: if the government runs out of money they will simply “print” more.

Will this cause inflation? Yes. Does the government object to inflation? No. They never have yet in my 60 years of life, anyways.

 

^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just like money, the government will never run out of food stamps. It cost THEM nothing to print up some paper or create cards that FORCE merchants to hand out goods. The only losers are the merchants and the Taxpayers who fund this nonsense. The government takes good care of their pets, since this is their power base.

 

Everyone will be eating each other

 

Peter,Peter...

Uh, WAIT! THOSE aren't PUMPKINS!!? :O

 

Soylent green Tuesday.

 

^^^ Corrected -- I wouldn't wanna miss it --

What day is Prince spaghetti day ?

 

I guess when you think about it working the system is a full time job.

 

Or at least pays like one.

Animals that are fed by people become dependent on human food, and may lose their natural fear of humans and their ability to forage for natural foods. There is a lot of truth to the saying, "a fed animal is a dead animal." In addition to losing their foraging ability, animals that have been fed are less likely to survive other reasons. Animals that have been fed from cars congregate near roadways and are at a high risk of being killed by vehicle collisions.

In recent years, the National Park Service has had to euthanize deer, coyotes, rock squirrels and other animals at Grand Canyon that had become overly aggressive towards humans and/or had become completely dependant on food handouts. Park rangers work to preserve and protect park resources, including wildlife. NPS staff find it heartbreaking when they are forced to euthanize animals whose aggressive behaviors were caused by being fed by well-meaning people.

Feeding animals puts everyone in potentially hazardous situations. People who feed animals may be bitten or otherwise injured by the animal they are feeding. Other visitors are at risk as they may be harmed by aggressive animals that have previously been fed.

I'm not offering this as if people on welfare are animals and we are not.

We are all animals and this is a universal truth.

 

There are people that need welfare and then people that live on welfare. Calling the latter an animal is an insult to animals everywhere.

 

An army almost 50 million strong.....

 

I hate to diss this bunch because they are my primary mission field, but....

I heard a woman, well dressed, complaining because "I had to buy the groceries with MY money, I hate the end of the month!" She looked at me, I looked at her, my thought "I always buy my groceries with my money" clearly laid out on my face.

As someone else said, the fancy jewelry, the high-dollar hair, the fancy clothes and cell phone. I carry a very basic phone.

Drivers hate it, professional paratransit ones - because they spend the whole entitlement at one go and expect the driver to load the 2 shopping carts into the vehicle, themselves. It doesn't work that way.

And we can't forget the Medicaid prescriptions for insulin and metformin, high blood pressure drugs, and pain medication for joint related obesity issues, and a huge cartload of utter crap.

If you've got Hard Times, I get it. "I been there" although I didn't need food stamps, even though they were offered.

I do object to making welfare your entire means of self-support.

 

Matt Bracken had an article on this subject. not the politics, but the logistics of society collapse.

his description of the intersection with 100s of rioters being pelleted by his hypothetical crew in two trucks 1000 yards away was eyeopening.

 

As I usually do in these types of threads, here's an excellent article by Matt Bracken on what's going to happen "When the Music Stops."

In the process of reading Matt Bracken's novels. http://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/

Scary.

Because they are so plausible.

 

Possibly the only "positive" to the grid going down. The end of EBT....

 

And the fallout?

 

Only social security. Runs out of money
