If you ever wondered why we recommend prepping, and stockpiling food and emergency supplies, one look at what happened this weekend Springhill and Mansfield, LA should tell you everything you need to know and will give you a glimpse at what this country will look like during a nationwide crisis.
Over the weekend, the debit system that allows people on government assistance to buy food, temporarily went down. The resulting chaos is a small glimpse at what I believe will happen, should the government plunge this country into some sort of economic collapse.

You did not stutter.
Point taken.
Here in Toledo, the supermarket loud speakers announced every 15 minutes that EBT cards were not being accepted presently and there was no problem. The dumba**es running those stores that continued to accept “limitless EBT” cards need to be collecting food stamps themselves I think.
If Obama had a shopping spree....
They were told to do so by Wal-Mart headquarters in Arkansas from other articles I’ve read.
Possibly out of fear for their lives.
as long as the tax payers aren’t paying for this blatant fraud, waste, and abuse.
Spread the rumor that the ETB cards now only work at the Whole Foods Market on the white side of town where the liberals live
Of course we will, somehow.
We have been, so far.
HA!
Priceless.

If you wrote for Letterman, he’d actually be funny.
Forget the waitress.
Tip me.
Wal Mart and Xerox seem to be fighting amongst themselves over which of them will be be paying for this. That’s fine with me.
Walmart will pass the loss onto paying customers.
I rarely go there anymore.
The implication seems to be that keeping their fellow blacks enslaved is brave—and that is unseemly.
