At least now we know we have at least 6 hours before the looting begins.

IF they think it's coming back.

Speaking of Walmart and EBT cards, we were there yesterday. After noon, come to think of it. A woman is talking to someone on her phone (’BamaPhone, I expect.) She said, “Yeah. I’ll get it with my gubment card. I ain’t a-carin’. It ain’t MY money.” I’m thinking, “Yeah, Bitch. It’s MY money. And I’m ‘a-carin’!” It took everything in me not to speak up.

I dream of standing behind someone in a checkout line using an EBT card. When she puts Pop Tarts on the conveyor, I take them off. When she puts marshmallows on the belt, I take them off. Etc. Then I tell her it’s my money she’s spending and I insist that she put back all the crap. Wouldn’t that just be so great if we all did that?

after an outage at JPMorgan Chase

Everyone missed the most important part of the story. Remember, JPMorgan once wanted their MVP to become their CEO. You get one guess who.

Soros.

Main reason my wife won’t take me shopping any more.

She is afraid I’ll go off on a welfare mama loading up her cart with top notch foods while we clip coupons, buy the “last chance” meat, sale items and house brands.

I removed my filter to be polite to thieves. I am going to lose a multigenerational family home, savings and perhaps a business. I am sick of this.

I give you permission to do the same. :)

Wow, there must be an enterprising hacker out there that can design a computer virus that spreads to everybodies computer in the world, that does nothing but DOS attack the EBT system. I would gladly turn off my virus checker

Do you know what happenes when EBT cards don’t go through? Shopping carts full of groceries are left at the registers. If the cold/frozen doesn’t get put back quickly, it must be thrown out. The cost is passed on to the consumer.
