WDBJ ^ | 08/17/17

ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) The contractor that maintains EBT services for Virginia's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is experiencing multi-state service problems.

This has resulted in an EBT System outage.

It is unknown when the system will be restored.

SNAP clients can call (866) 281-2448 to check on the status of the system restoration. Clients can also call 2-1-1 to learn of food resources that might be available to supplement their needs during the temporary outage. Also, clients can call the Enterprise Customer Service Center at (855) 635-4370 with any additional questions related to their benefits.

Oh gosh, there’re some great comments there!
Somebody PAID CASH (!!) because her groceries were all bagged up, but she wants a refund when EBT is back on.

Whew! I was afraid a bunch of it would be concentrated in areas thick with radical liberals.

One comment said that sh*tcago was down. Might be an interesting time if it stays down for a day or two.

[But it’s often overlooked that urban, African American neighborhoods have been disproportionately targeted by the continued expansion of fast-food chains.]

THAT explains all the people I saw marched into fast-food at gunpoint by gubmint soldiers!!

I didn’t read the whole thing - did he ever get around to “Evil Zionists Plot” or is it just the fault of mostly-European descendants again?

This is clearly racist. Tear down all EBT machines !

Someone should put some of these stickers by the ATMs and fast food places that accept EBT.

I don’t know about the first one, but these are places I try to avoid, anyways.

Some guy the other day wanted to know if I’d be interested in Chicago for my skills.

Maybe.

If my hotel is safe enough near the client.

I attended a diabetes medical conference yesterday. I hoped I was successful in not visibly wincing when some black participants who were obviously low info voters (one kept praising Moochie Odungo’s lunch programs!) were sharing their fast food experiences and how hard it was to find healthy food choices there. The moderator pointed out that some sandwiches could account for an entire day’s recommended calories, sodium, and sugar. Every one of those participants was hugely obese. WHY, I asked myself, were they even getting meals at fast food restaurants?

When this recently happened in AZ, hundreds of customers in Wal Mart (where I shop) abandoned full carts of groceries, got mad and walked out. The store had to throw a lot of perishable food away. Hubby and I asked a store manager about what was going on. She said 80 percent of that store’s customers are on EBT, food stamps. I was very surprised because the abandoned carts were stuffed with steaks, chips, sodas, bottled water, ice cream-—

All true.

There it is. Looks like some might have been pushing two carts.

Looks like the Deep State is trying to kick off a race war.

They will not succeed.

We must continue pray to God, through Jesus Christ to deliver us from this evil.

And people on there screaming that they and their kids are hungry. Who has that little food in their house that if the EBT system goes down for one day they’re all starving? Sheesh. We could eat for at least 2 weeks on the food in our cupboards and fridge. May not be what we want but we wouldn’t go hungry.

I buy non-perishable groceries that I routinely use when they are on a good sale and store them. Consequently, I save a lot of money on food. Same as you, if I couldn't get out for a while, I'd have plenty to eat between my freezer and my packaged goods.

Something could be up. Lotsa bizarre stuff these days.

The Communist Media is what freaks me out. Not that they’re liars, cheats, dishonest, agitators.

It’s because so many fools believe them.
