Prepper alert. The savages are being stirred up.
I was in a store this AM when the announcement was made “ Our EBT system is down”. Within minutes I counted 5 or 6 carts loaded with food sitting the aisles. One economy size Obama voter was yelling at a cashier -—— like the cashier had anything to do with it!
My son works at Kroger. I can’t wait to hear the story.
