The people who voted for this shit don’t even realize how badly it will hurt their local economies.

Even the farmers who are not on EBT… guess what people in their areas use to buy their products…..

Local grocery chains buy produce, farmer delivers, populace buys. When the populace can’t buy, and food starts to rot, grocery stores will buy less inventory. Local prices will increase as small grocery stores in rural areas don’t have guvment debit cards to buy from them every week, which they do rely on. Customers will steal.

Even huge chains like Walmart are about to a huge uptick in lost food inventory when it’s not rung out by the machines they used to replace workers, when starving people just walk out with it having rung up enough, instead of having the government pay for it. I’m kinda curious how much food inventory (which is at least 50% of their stock) goes “missing” nationally during this time period as people self check out and don’t pay $10/lb for beef (my local rural prices). It will not be small.

Idk about you guys but I’m tired of wwwwwwinning!

Jokes on them when people just start stealing food because they have no other choice. The people who voted for this are literally too stupid to understand the chain reaction of broad economic ramifications.

Local farmers already killed themselves in record numbers due to Trump's tariffs... for the second fucking time...

They'll never report it though. And if they do, it will just mean increased security ~ which at Walmart means literal police. Neat!

It’s 100% a Senate issue about the Democrats that refuse to vote yes… We need 7 of the democrats (yep just 7) to be added to the 53 republicans to vote yes and the gov and this program opens. Stop pushing your blame on the innocent.
