Is this real or parody? I can't tell the difference anymore...

Looks like a blexit enterprise. I suspect it was done by black people fed up with welfare culture.

Who knows?

It’s rough.

It is satire. I had seen this several years ago. Here is another video, the artist talks about her “EBT” video.

Dude, this thing has been around a loooong time.

And yes, it is parody intended to draw attention to the wasteful “anti-poverty” programs.

I work my azz off and I am constantly in line with people who just slide EBT as I slide my DEBIT and I am essentially paying for myself and partially for everyone else on the dole. Disclaimer is for the very few “through the net” who desperately need government assistance.

I know. I buy hamburger. I buy spaghetti. I buy potatoes. I see carts full of potato chips, pop, frozen desserts, candy. The bill is over $300. Now look, I don’t want anyone to starve to death, but, there must be a better way to attack hunger.

I agree most are sorrier than whale crap but a few actually do need and are taking care to make themselves better while drawing EBT benefits. I have a young mother who works in my department on the Ready to Work program that gets EBT benefits and other assistance. She got pregnant as a junior in high school and lives with her grandparents, it’s very close to the college she attends. Baby daddy is useless POS. She managed to graduate in top 5% of high school class, worked and took care of her premature baby with help from parents babysitting and grandparents. She’s in her second year of college and on deans list and about to be accepted into nursing school. She see’s the trap of government handouts and wants more out of life for herself and young son. So as she put it, yes I’m drawing benefits but I’m getting my degree and a job that pays enough so I don’t have to depend on anyone including the government. She’s been one of my best workers in 25 years of supervision of student workers. These are the ones I encourage and push and work with if they have a sick child.

“Now look, I don’t want anyone to starve to death, but, there must be a better way to attack hunger.”

It’s called work, or more accurately, willingness to work.

How come illegals can come to this country and find work and not go hungry, whereas generations of people born here, who speak the language, live off the dole?

The solution is simple: remove EBT and most welfare programs, eliminate minimum wage laws, and you would fix the welfare racket, the illegal migration, and create a much healthier culture where personal responsibility is rewarded.
