What the Hell is Wrong With This Country? (Vanity Rant)
Self | 4/21/19 | Self

Posted on 04/21/2019 3:36:46 PM PDT by kaehurowing

This is the first vanity I have ever posted on FR.

Today, while my wife and I were at the grocery, we got stuck behind an obvious Middle Eastern "immigrant."

He ran up a bill of over $400 in baby formula, cheese, and all sorts of other things. I could see the items being rung up as he was doing this. And then I watched him produce one WIC voucher after another to pay for all of this, and I watched the cashier zero out one item after another. This process took more than 20 minutes, and held up everyone else in line. He even started sending the checkout people to the back of the store to get more stuff for him so he could use up all the WIC vouchers. At the end everything had been zeroed out except for $9.73. Then he whips out his VISA card and pays for that on his credit card.

Why do we tolerate this? We just paid for all of this stuff for this guy, who obviously was not hurting for money. So does he re-sell it or what does he do?

Who is the one who judges?

**********************************

I’d say anyone with an i.q. in double digits would know that buying lobster with welfare money is prima facie evidence that one either doesn’t need the welfare money to begin with or doesn’t have the mental capacity to look after themselves. And yes, if you want my money I damn well get to ‘judge’ how it’s spent.

You catching a little too much Bernie on Vermont public television?

Reminds me of the movie “Joe” and Peter Boyle’s rant in the bar room. Expand beyond the demographic to which he is referring, and you will see that this has been going on for half a century.

The politicians I am referring to are on both sides of the aisle.

For example, for two years republicans have had plenty of time to deal with a whole host of issues and they took just about NO action on them at all.

At least the democraps admit they are whoring sobs.

You’re just better than us.

The horror

Someone said beaner

Hey at least it was not pickaninny or tar baby right

The thought of that word makes me want to howl in shame

I was married to latina

Have two daughters with her

You ever hear them speak of negroes?

You’d be offended

But is it racism when they do it..

Using derogatory terms about folks may be tacky but it ain’t racism

I grew up with real racism in early 1960s Mississippi in a moderate on race family....my dad would be considered a racist today though by the high and mighty

I can tell you in detail about real racism cause I saw it

Rope, live oak trees , Spanish moss, blow torches and chains ....pretty serious stuff

Very little of that now

Only true racism I see today is held by blacks and Afro Latinos like Occasional Kotex against basically everybody

Many of them have been caught running small grocery stores and stocking them using WIC and SNAP benefits. It is sick.

If they are using WIC, then the food is being used to prevent malnutrition in babies of families below the poverty line, including families who work but have a low income.

If he was Middle Eastern, he might have been shopping for his family, or even his extended family, and he might be buying up supplies because he works for a living and doesn't want to waste his time shopping frequently.

a lot of immigrant Muslim women are not educated and are fearful of shopping..

True, some husband object to their wives driving and shopping on their own, but some of this seems to be agorophobia, fear of crowds, since often you see them late at night at 24 hour Walmart shopping when there are no crowds.

Don’t live in Vt, so your attempt at insult/humor is a failure.

You can judge all you want. But you can do nothing about it. Call your state reps and Congress critters. Bitching about it here is pretty much a waste of your time.

Lobster is a source of low fat protein. That is why they can buy it. In some parts of the country it’s not crazy-expensive.

I hate lobster. I used to get a couple a week for nothing from a co-worker who kept a few traps. I would have given them away, but my wife and kids loved them.

The point is that standing behind someone in a shopping line deriding someone is not productive. I am not accusing you of that, but others have suggested doing just that.

If you don’t like hoe EBT works, call your state reps and Congressmen. That is the only way it will change. Screening on FR does nothing. The screen that started this accomplished nothing but confirming that this placed is frequented by a number of jerks who pop their head up in threads like this.

“standing behind someone in a shopping line deriding someone is not productive.”

According to Alinsky, ridicule is man’s most important weapon, and it works for the Rats. I say that if you can shame anyone who obviously is playing the system, go for it.
