NW PA here... people with wells are scared about loss of income. Other than healthscare and service jobs, most of the heavy industry is gone as it has been for a long time. Every trip to the grocery store or WalMart, the three tattooed single moms in line ahead of me with their broods are paying with SNAP cards.

Very common sighting here too. Usuall a pregnant Hispanic woman with 3 - 4 kids under the age of 5 with that one in the oven pulling out their familiar looking white government credit cards. Occassionally I’ll see them again getting into thir almost new Ford F-150 or SUV with polished rims if they’re arked nearme. A lot of the time another male will be in the car waiting on them and I’m pretty sure the EBT’er didn’t claim their tax-free income when they applied for government benefits.
