Video: EBT System Crash: 16 States Out of Service:
SHTF Plan ^ | 10/13/13 | Mac Slavo

Posted on 10/13/2013 1:31:32 PM PDT by Kartographer

If you ever wanted to know what the United States might look like and how people will react should the EBT system fail, then pay close attention

I go to the register and they ask me “how you going to pay.”

I said with food stamps.

“Oh, we’re shut down, you can’t pay with food stamps.”

I got kids to feed. You know?

And because the government’s down I can’t feed my family?

What’s going on with America? Now they trying to starve us to death?

…This is crazy

…I got six kids I have to feed.

I’m just trying to figure out how to get something to eat.

Oatmeal, cabbage, meats for seasoning (not as the main course), potatoes, carrots, apples, etc.... Especially key is what’s in season and preserve it.

Ever make Beirocks?

I can and do feed my family for under $125 per month.

I knew about a week ago Friday when Hillary started talking about “Scorched Earth” something like this was going to happen.

What people really need to watch for is a repeat of 2006 when they got the illegals marching in the streets.

Reverse chaos. Some stores shut down in Louisiana after the cards were restarted... Without limits!

Strange how all these states are using the same vendor...

We called them Pasty's.

I also make scrapple a lot. It's about 75% corn meal mush mixed with organ meats, sage, mace, pepper, and water. You pour it into bread pans to cool and then freeze. You cut it into 3/8" thick slices and then fry crisp on each side.

Most local butchers with a kill floor will give you the organ meats for free if you reliably pick them up on kill day. Pork hearts, kidneys, livers, and calf livers, hearts, and brains work very nicely. Hog tails, feet, snouts, tounges, and heads are good too. You just need to know what to do with them.

Did you know that cabbage yields over ten tons per acre? In a ten acre field there is usually a few hundred heads left behind by the automated pickers. These are the saurkraut heads of cabbage I'm talking about. They go 10 pounds a head. Six heads and you've got all the sauerkraut and boiled cabbage you can eat during a year. The stink in the garage from fermenting the buckets of sauerkraut might put off some folks, but I love the smell.

any system that was a legacy system, not orignally designed to work across states, or with the latest ebt cards, will have legacy and interface issues.

same as in any business - new systems have to interface with old systems that never were designed to inteface with the new system, they’re held together piecemeal.

That's right. YOU have six kids, not me. It's YOUR responsibility, not mine nor my wallet. YOU get a job and don't ask for my paycheck.

I don't believe for a minute this wasn't ordered by hussein just like he ordered the park rangers to make the little people's lives difficult. A Chicago news station said that 1 out of 6 Chicagoans had EBT cards. Ridiculous! No wonder why it's broke. BTW, the cards weren't working in Texas, too.

Strange how all 57 states use the same vendor in Spain to count presidential votes.

I have the list of states that were impacted.

I’m at the cube farm right now, but when I get back I’ll post it.

Here's the map:

The only ommission is that Oklahoma was also reporting outages as well.

In the company I know the systems are just poorly designed and maintained. Everything is bottom dollar because the margins don’t support millions of dollars for new systems.

What does each color mean?

I see that Texas is green. I seriously doubt any EBT-related troubles would last here very long.

Salt (canning or sea), cabbage, and time. I'm always amazed at how it can still ferment with good bacteria and all that salt. Cabbage must be 90% water, because where it all comes from is a mystery to me?

The foamy scum I scrape from the top I toss into the pig's feed and they love it. When it stops fermenting we cold pack jar it.

I love doing red cabbage and beets too. Then I pack gallon size jars of hard boiled eggs and onions with it. I add a cinnimon stick, cloves, some brown sugar, and pickling spices.

The colors are random, assigned by the map program I used to generate the pic.

Basically, any colored-in state reported EBT outages.

Don’t count every person guilty of a lack of respect, there are some who care...and do the right thing in showing respect for others and having good manners
