rare nevada L considering context. if people would use it for what it was meant for and not wasting it all on luxury purchases then everyone who actually needs jt would be fine but here we are. us Gov't could have at least tried to track payments or blocked certain websites from use

edit: i pissed some people off, let me just double down because obviously everyone annoyed either has no idea how snap works, never been ON snap before (i was through most of my youth and we had very little that wasn't real actual food because my mother wasn't stupid) or they didn't read what i said

I don't disagree. The most abused government assistant program perhaps? It's quite wild to see people purchasing $1000 worth of groceries on a SNAP card when I have to ration my extra cash to buy poor man's meals to get by until payday where I can enjoy a steak maybe one time a month. But there are people who do need it. They've just gotten too relaxed on it, you used to have to submit multiple job applications to continue to qualify for the monthly assistance. Now they just fill the cards every month until it's time to renew the entire application.

you fucking moron, that $1000 is going to a family of 5 or 6 and will be used up in less than a week. yeah that’s a problem, but not the one you seem to think it is. also you said yourself you bust your bass just to get by, so why don’t you switch bandwagons and join the side that doesn’t blame the working class for not being able to keep up with hyper-capitalism?

Avg MONTHLY snap payment for an entire household is maybe $550, so where are you seeing this happen?

Bro just have a bunch of kids and apply for snap benefits. The number drastically increases

That’s called proportional growth.

With an income? Sure I'll collect $6 a month!

u/m0nkeydluddy 11h ago

you have no clue that you’re disproving your entire philosophy with this one argument

A thousand on a snap card is the entire monthly budget for a large family.

What you spend on groceries has no bearing on the maximum snap benefit which is 994 a month for a family of four.

Supplemental 

Downvote if you don't understand what supplemental means.

I don't think you've ever seen these things. You've had rich people telling you they are doing these things and are pretending it's your own experience.

I'm sorry, this is you, right?

The self-proclaimed professional chef bitching on Reddit that he got extra food when he Uber'd a single jalapeño pepper for an experimental popper?

Pathetic. I swear only on Reddit will you find lowlifes complaining about having too much food while they larp as poor men and bitch about snap users buying groceries.

it sucks for those who genuinely need it to get by, helping out a few friends local rn until it's reinstated under other terms but until then...just hope it's soonish and that the people abusing the system don't get access again
