THEY FOUND ONE GUY WHO IS GETTING SNAP BENEFITS IN 6 DIFFERENT STATES-—ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
5,000 NAMES ARE ON THE ACTIVE LIST-—WHO ARE ALL DEAD
Lock them up and make them work gardens.
Well, this poor, old 78 year old natural born citizen peon will still be paying for my own groceries out of my own pocket, and my taxes will still be used to pay for someone else’s, even if it’s only a reduced amount. Either way I get screwed.
Yep. BTW, we get our meat by splitting a steer with a friend and have a local butcher cut it up for us. It’s not all THAT cheap, but it’s a lot better for us. e.g. I have no problem with eating it raw. BTW, the last one, after removing all “non-meat” parts and paying for the butcher cost us $7 a lb. But that includes EVERYTHING. And we got some spectacular filet mignon (not to mention lots of other stuff) out of it.
I learned in 1973 that the “chronically” poor don’t value money in their pocket. I sold Fuller Brush door to door. One of the neighborhoods we sold in was a “poor” neighborhood. Our “handler” told us to go there a day or two after they all got their welfare checks - and the money was burning a hole in their pocket - and make sure all orders were pre-paid. Those expensive brushes sold like hotcakes. It was amazing.
Middle and upper class neighborhoods were much more careful with their money.
And that’s the thing. If they are in Wal-Mart and a two dollar item is three dollars, they either don’t care or don’t notice. It’s a form of laziness. Back in 1973 was when I coined the phrase, “The difference between poor people and rich people is that rich people know you spend your money a dollar at a time.” Meanwhile, the poor don’t know where all the money went when they have more month left than money before the next check.
Yep, the poor give their kids an EBT card and they use it to buy candy and soda at the gas station. They don’t care. I work on a lot of rentals and the EBT people have a huge stock pile of food.
I look at the weekly ads and buy whats on sale... and I can tell a good steak from a tuff piece of crap. I can pull prime pretty easy.
Im also lucky that my neighbor / great friend, raises his own steer, and when he brings it home from the butcher, he cleans out his freezer to make room and I get a lot of free last years beef from him. He’s also a mobile slaughter’er. He has a great business booked up for a year.
He’s told be the same thing about the USDA inspector issue. But I think they have relaxed it a little bit.
My daughter raised a lamb for FFA, I had to buy it, $9 a pound on hoof but thats a special project thing, she gets the money to save for college. But I know whats in it.
$7 a pound is not bad for good beef.
