The website for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the EBT system, is offline because of the government shutdown.

They’re all different.
I’m not aware of a FR policy against posting multiple articles from differnt sources on the same topic.
Can you point me to such a policy?
If not, and if it bothers you, may I suggest not reading and posting on the thread.

Unable to buy groceries? Well, I guess it’s still considred “buying” if you’re using stolen money.

LOTS of Twitter comments on it.
Twitter search EBT
A good Tweet:
If your #EBT card doesn't work, congratulations you have something in common with it.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
If I read correctly the same company (Xerox) that was setting up the health exchanges also does the EBT cards. There was a HUGE security update to Microsoft Operating Systems last Thursday, maybe the mess is connected....or maybe the dic-tator in Spite House is trying to turn up the heat.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Maybe they borrowed some of those IT guys from CommieCare Signup to fix their system!!!!

Nothing to do with Microsoft and Xerox did not set up the health exchanges.

It’s no use. There are those that will not understand, but would rather be inflamed, even if what they are thinking just isn’t true.

Letz see now Monday is a bank holiday, Columbus Day, some people are going to get mighty hungry.

Can you give me a link regarding Xerox setting up the healthcare? That’s a new data point. (I’m trying to investigate the crony capitalist connection to the Baraqqi regime.) Thanks.
