I have heard EXACTLY the same story from a friend in SC who went to apply for food stamps and was denied. So, she fed her kids beans and rice until the job situation improved, while the ‘entitled class’ presumably ate pork rinds and cheese doodles on the taxpayers’ dime.
I’ll add a story to that- I gave a black co-worker a ride to and from work for weeks because of her sob story about her broken down car. One day she asked to stop at the grocery store because she had gone to social services and got food stamps. They issued her $90 on the spot. So she had bags full of name brand snacks etc. Just burned me up. After that I told her sorry, I couldn’t give her a ride any more.
