Here in Hollywood CA there is a large banner about the Hollywood Market festival and in big letters ‘EBT ACCEPTED’..

Now how the heck am I going to feel sympathy when almost every burger joint accepts EBT? Most of the mexicans in front of me in line at the store were swiping their cards like they won the lottery and they dress in Abercrombie attire.

Yeah, that's another California insanity.

those EBT care are not just for food stamps and welfare.. they are also used by people on unemployment and Calif state disability.. BOA must have a nice juicy deal with the state to issue the EBT cards

Poverty in America isn't what it once was. I lived several years on boxed macaroni and cheese and spaghetti dinners. The first time we moved, everything we owned fit nicely into a Ford Maverick. Could I have qualified for food stamps? Who knows. It never even occurred to me to try.

There's a serious sickness spreading through American society these days. The divide between people like me who believe no one owes me anything and those who think America should cater to their every needs is growing wider every day. I find I have absolutely nothing in common with more and more "Americans" every day.

In NY, ebt can’t be used for hot food.
