While I have avoided the topic du jour for a while, I thought I should post something about the impending delay in EBT/SNAP/food stamp benefits.
First off, it is only a delay. The payments will certainly go out at some point, later than usual, but they will go out. Smart SNAP recipients would have saved back some of their October benefit amount to use in November. The 2Gs you see screaming on TikTok? Let’s assume they did not think ahead as they never do. They aren’t alone according to this story from Supermarket News:
Over four in five SNAP users report that their benefits do not last the full month. In fact, 86% say they exhaust their benefits before month’s end. Current SNAP households are trending toward higher incomes, with 23% reporting annual incomes of $80,000 or more..
More on that stunning last line in a moment.
It isn’t like EBT cards stop working on November 1st, just that no new money will be loaded and as I understand it, the cards are loaded throughout the month based on some schedule (last name maybe?), so some people might get their funds on the last couple days of October. As for people that get theirs on the 2nd or 3rd of October, as stated above most of them probably will have burned through their allotment by November 1st.
Second, will there be food riots? Probably, almost certainly, not. I am sure there will be some significant shoplifting going on, probably some fat black women pushing carts full of steak and lobster right past the greeter at Walmart but riots? I doubt it but then again who thought that a drug addled lifelong violent criminal who died of heart failure while resisting arrest would trigger a whole year of burning cities and rioting?
What I find more interesting is what is happening in the culture as people are confronted with food stamps, something we all know is out there but we don’t think about on a daily basis.
I wrote this on Twitter the other day:
I assume most or at least some of the TikTok videos with blacks screeching and throwing their poo because of delayed EBT funding are performative for clicks but what this has done is shove into the faces of normie Whites that these people a) absolutely believe they are owed free food paid for by Whites (above and beyond any “reparations”), b) feel justified in stealing from stores if they don’t get the free food (“Dats what dey haz im-sure-ants for!”) and c) many of them are 3 or 4 generations deep in getting food stamps and have no intention of ever not getting them.
As a reminder, the “S” in SNAP stands for “Supplemental”. It is supposed to be a supplement to your grocery purchases but as this chart from my home state of Indiana’s FSSA division shows, it is a whole lot more than a “supplement”…
We have 8 children although more than half don’t live at home now but as a family of 10 I could theoretically make $84,000 per year and our maximum allotment would be $2,225. To be fair, if you make $80,000 per year with a family of 10 I don’t think you get the full $2,225 but some people could conceivably get that much. We have never, ever, spent two grand in a month on groceries even when I had three teenaged boys among my 8 children. Not even close. If you are making most meals at home, even a family of 10 can eat just fine on a grand a month in groceries. Who needs $500 per week in groceries, especially if you are “poor”?
What is worse, most of the SNAP money is spent on junk food: pop, chips, candy, ultra-processed foods. This exacerbates the obesity epidemic that is especially bad among the poor. We pay for them to buy junk food and then pay for their health care to combat the health impact of a diet of junk food. Genius!
Fully one quarter of SNAP funds are spent at Walmart and it makes up around 3.5% of their total sales, not a huge percentage but when you consider Walmart’s volume it is a lot of money. If you shop at Walmart, what do you see in carts? Lots of Mountain Dew, Doritos and Ding Dongs.
There is of course the racial element as well. Most of the angry videos threatening violence and even following people home to steal their food were made by blacks. It has been amusing to see 2G after 2G posting about how more Whites in total get food stamps only to get scorched in the replies by their arch-nemesis: Per Capita Man!
Even the mightiest 2G superhero is defenseless against the villainous Per Capita man!
I really doubt much will come of this SNAP delay but hopefully it is one more red-pill for normies who have ignored the issue for a long time but when they see news reports saying over 40 million “Americans” get food stamps, or 1 in 8 people living in this country, and that many of those receiving these benefits are angry and entitled to the point of stating they are willing to steal, beat or even kill to get their food instead of getting jobs?
It is just one more klaxon alarm screaming just how rotten our system truly is.
Still, might be smart to go grocery shopping in the next few days and avoid stores for a while after that….
Damn! I picked a helluva time to go see relatives that live around the D.C. metroplex. Might get interesting. Maybe I can finally get them to leave.
Stay strapped or get clapped
3.5% of Walmart’s biz doesn’t sound like a lot until you look at it as a portion of their profit margin. Their operating margin was 4.31% and the net profit margin was 3.08% (2024). Think Walton’s are going to want the government to ever end it?
Exactly. There is scale, as in thumb on the scale, and there is scale as in the make it up in volume. Our sacred Economy is one big Whale being rendered into every shekel in the commons. Both Thumb and Volume.
Inside the obvious consumer economy necessity of this UBI wealth transfer are the transaction clearing, administration bureaucracy (makework “jobs” for the employed nogs), and downstream impacts of lubricated consumer choice.
They get to have their gubmint cheese and eat the big screen too.
“Wall Street” runs on this same lube. The real wealth aggregator is measured in basis points (0.01%) across the whole shitshow.
They shut down the world for $600 a head. Direct Deposited! because they can’t find all the illegals and criminals and traffickers and then ran $20T in the back door while everyone enjoyed their jimmyjohns and netflix and dancing nurses.
The uniparty has no intention of ending the grift. Which is why the “debate” is not about the evil system, ie. the entitlements are sacred cows, but rather about who’s meatpacking plant gets to process the meat.
The pox have always been most useful in chains. Even the death cult knows this. The Plantation folks understood this long ago.
Assets that need to be maintained. When they lost those assets in a bad game of Globohomo liars poker, the pox were turned against Heritage America.
Reconstruction and the great northern migration into industrialized wage slavery and White displacement, all which continues to this day and all of which will continue until we are all just niggers dreaming of Wakanda.
The melting pot was not about the past; it was their plan. The “markets” melting-up is totally unrelated lolz.
If they do somehow let the chimps slip the leash in caloric deficit, well sheeeit. That would be the flare going up because we’d know they figgered out that it’s time for a prairie fire because MAGA2.0 is insufficient to shoehorn us into the pot.
All hail the Holy Gross Domestic Product
Well, most of what fake and ghey clown world America produces now is gross. So there you go.
Other than guns and food we aren’t producing much of value at all anymore.
Well, of course Walmart is all for it, not least because their own employees are on these programs, and partly because they don’t have to pay their workers an actual living wage. I have heard reports that the company provides these employees help in enrolling them in these programs, as it’s cheaper to pay for the counseling than to increase their wages. Broken to their serfdom they are, even when they have enough gumption to have a job.
Well at $80,000 a year people are still getting food stamps
They were big opponents of eliminating pop and candy from EBT eligibility
The very notion of being able to work to support myself and my family, yet refusing to do so and then demanding “free” money to live on, is a concept so alien to me that it does not compute. I could not live like that. No ancient wrongs, perpetrated against forbears many generations gone whose names I do not even know, can justify a parasitic existence. Not in my White world.
There was a time when accepting charity was considered shameful, or at least wasn’t something to brag about. Even in the black community. I remember it from my childhood – blacks taunting one another about their family’s “welfare car” or “welfare clothes”. No one wanted that stigma. But then again, far more blacks lived in intact nuclear family arrangements back then (late 1960s, before LBJ’s Welfare Wakanda became a reality).
Having fled the northeast and its entrenched social dysfunction for the saner southwest a few years ago, I do not interact with, or even see, more than a token few blacks on a regular basis. So no, I don’t “know a good one”. Not anymore. I play the statistics nowadays and assume that every black I do see is a volatile, stupid, potentially murderous cheat, liar and thief, just itching to cause trouble for everyone around him. YT in particular. I choose a different lane at the checkout to avoid incompetent black cashiers. And I will turn on my heel and walk out of an eatery if any of the waitstaff or food preparers are black. It’s just common sense and prudence to avoid them at all costs.
Eddie Murphy did a shtick about black kids teasing each other about being on da welfare
We don’t expect any issues up here in our bit of the Ozarks, but if we still lived in the DFW ‘burbs I wouldn’t go shopping this weekend (I didn’t go shopping on the weekend even when we lived there). Majority of shoppers and cashiers were non-white immigrants, with an increasing number of 2gs thrown in for good measure. The parking lots were chaotic at the best of times. Texas is a mess, and getting more so all the time. (And for those who claim it’s ‘just’ the cities – all I can say is that if you don’t notice/believe the demographic numbers, then good luck with your ‘based’ mestizo buddies.)
The funny part is watching the left throw their pet negroes overboard in favor of the quickly increasing (and bound to outbreed) the ape demographic, sooner than later. 2 things. #1 the beans do NOT give a fuck about being called “racist” and, B. They HATE them some niggers, ALOT. This should shake out violently.
The “Texas will be red forever” people are in for a rude awakening.
A Zerohedge article yesterday revealed that Texas is in 4th place for the greatest number of non-citizens (132,000) receiving SNAP benefits (California, Florida and NY being the top three, in that order). No mention of how many “citizens”, but you can bet that’s a big number, too.. So yeah, Texas is screwed. Maybe not right this instant, but it’s coming.
Any niggers caught looting, shoplifting or stealing from paying customers should be shot on sight. Barring that reasonable response they, if allowed to survive should be barred from EVER recieving any government benefits for the rest of their natural parasitic lives. Fuck you, nigger, starve.
In happier times they would have gotten the shit beat out of them, now they are bold as hell because they know there are no consequences.
Thanks for the SNAP numbers, Arthur. Very interesting.
I wonder how much of these SNAP benefits get laundered. For instance, I have SNAP benefits left over before the next refill. I buy some things for you such as eggs, milk, meat, or even frozen pizzas. I give you the merchandise and you give me cash back, maybe 80 – 90% on the dollar. I take the cash you gave me and spend it on things SNAP benefits won’t buy such as menthol cigarettes, 40’s of malt liquor, or Afro-Sheen. I have to believe this happens.
They don’t just get laundered for cigarettes, booze, and ‘weaves.’ All the non-whites (legal and illegal) send not just money but food-stamp food overseas to help ‘la familia.’ Yes, old link, but it’s been going on for decades –

Dominicans are supposedly on average half European – but the other half is 40% African and about 10% Taino (Indio). No, I don’t want to feed any of them.
The half that is European explains with the Dominican is less of a mess than their neighbors in Haiti who are 100% African but the DR is still a disaster.
Word. This has been going on in the FSSA ever since the program started. When I worked Welfare Fraud cases in SoCal as a Peace Officer, I saw it all the time. When I referred this to the Feds, I was met with a shrug. They were overwhelmed with legions of Vietnamese “refugees” which were gaming the system to the tune of millions of dollars. Nothing with really change in this corrupt, Godless, syphilitic-thinking country until Amerika goes full Weimar. Bleib ubrig.
The Somalis in Minneapolis have turned fraud into a major operation, of course there are some White chicks assisting them.
I grew up with a dad that was a doctor so I never saw people use food stamps until we were married, one night I was at a convenience store in a rough area and watched a guy buy bottles of coke with $10 food stamps, get the change in cash, one after another until he had enough to buy cigarettes with the money
I didn’t know anyone who had food stamps growing up. People up here raise their own food, hunt, and buy the big chubs of cheap ground beef when it’s on sale. They will also always offer a hand to anyone in need. It’s why I am more than happy to donate money for Thanksgiving ‘blessing boxes’ via the local grocery store – I plan on ten this year – because I know it’s going to deserving people who are my ‘neighbors’ in every true sense of the word.
