Topic | I agree with limiting what types of food can be bought with food stamps. |
fire_bolt 02/14/18 9:05:50 AM #93 | LightHawKnight posted... Most people use it properly. Kinda cruel to punish everyone for what some people do. Just punish those people. The thing is, if they're using SNAP properly then they're ALREADY self regulating to the kinds of foods people are suggesting. If you're buying lots of sodas/prepackaged foods/luxury meats then your SNAP will not last an entire month, maybe not an entire week. If you're buying lots of staple cooking ingredients, fresh veggies, stuff to home cook sweets, etc then your SNAP WILL stretch. So why NOT limit it to the things people should be buying? It wouldn't effect people already doing the right thing and would stop other people from abusing the system --- If her hips don't break, you didn't "carry" hard enough" -SpunkySix http://steamcommunity.com/id/bolt_thundara/wishlist |

fire_bolt 02/13/18 11:53:27 PM #358 | Nah, is k. It's easy to tell several of us here are on the same side. We've all seen this shit first hand. I personally know how the welfare trap works. I got out and my little bro is getting out but sis is probably stuck. There's no one easy solution to the whole mess. I just wanna make sure we're helping people do better, not enabling them to wallow in the mud. Right now that's what SNAP does for some people. Not everybody who's on it, but if there's a way to make it help MORE people I want to find it --- If her hips don't break, you didn't "carry" hard enough" -SpunkySix http://steamcommunity.com/id/bolt_thundara/wishlist |

fire_bolt 02/13/18 11:39:41 PM #356 | Also, I wanna make one thing clear @cjsdowg. If a grown ass man or woman wants to waste their stamps on crap it doesn't really bother me. Unfortunately, most SNAP recepients are getting them for their kids. I don't want a kid going hungry like I did because their momma or daddy had the self control of a child in a candy store when their card got loaded up every month. The simplest way to do that is restrict what SNAP can buy.

I'm not saying it all needs to be beans and rice. For the price of a 12 pack of soda you can get enough sugar and tea bags or Kool aid to last a month. For the price of two candy bars you can get a box of cake or brownie mix. A single steak costs as much as three pounds of ground beef. If SNAP cut out prepackaged foods then the money people get would stretch a lot further and would in general be healthier.Dark, I've got a lot of respect for you so maybe you can explain something to me. Is there any good reason whySorry I am stepping on question you are asking someone else, but why does it matter. These people life suck, if they want to get a snicker bar. I won't feel put out. If you wanna get that pedantic then technically everything is a luxury except potatoes with a small amount of salt and butter in them.

fire_bolt 02/13/18 11:24:10 PM #350 | Darkman124 posted... i definitely prefer sirloin to chuck Some restaurants I've worked at hand ground their own beef so it's the same as what you were describing. For the rest, they don't want to tell a customer "no" for any reason. So they slap a warning label on the menu, make the serve staff verbally warn the customer that undercooked meat is dangerous, and then shrug it off. Hell, I almost got fired because I refused to serve a woman who wanted RARE CHICKEN BREAST grilled. My manager finally decided to just cook it himself rather than write me up.

Catch roast on sale and I've gotten steaks as cheap as $2/lb before, plus I cut them to the thickness I want. If your local grocery has an actual butcher they can do this for you, usually for free too.

AssultTank posted...I mean, if you live in an area where abuse of SNAP actually occurs, it isn't unreasonable for them to see it happen a lot. Agree. There's definitely some abuse taking place out there but the move to EBT cards throttled it a bit compared to the old paper stamp system. Also eliminated buying things with stamps and getting change back in cash.

Felt really fucking weird to be on the same side of an argument as someone like DiffEQ, let me tell you. I grew up poor white trash who lived in trailer parks constantly so I've kinda got the view from the inside. We'd eat really good the first two weeks of the month. The second two weeks would be a beans/potatoes diet. If my mom hadn't been able to waste a big portion of her stamps on junk food (her personal favorite being cheese whiz, I shit you not) maybe we'd have had more consistent meals.

fire_bolt 02/13/18 8:50:00 AM #207 | Yeah, I once checked out a woman who bought literally $200 worth of Mountain Dew with food stamps. She was so far she was riding in an electric motorized shopping cart and her daughter (who looked maybe 10 and was also obese just not morbidly so) was pushing a cart overflowing with Mountain Dew. Not saying Trump's plan is right but there needs to be SOME overhaul of the SNAP program.

If he's just an influence like in the manga then he already "ruled" most of the world anyway. Yeah, Light solos then. It'd take years for standard intelligence agencies to even figure out there was an actual problem. By then Light would have refined his technique enough to be basically untraceable. I want to point out that even at the END of Death Note the magic book had only been used to kill around 600,000 people over the course of almost a decade. Roughly 60,000 people a year, which seems like alot until you realize the US ALONE has a prison population of over 2,000,000 with an additional 4,000,000 on probation or parole. Spread those 60,000 people out across all the countries in the world and it's virtually untraceable. The fact that the intelligence community had already started investigating only a few weeks into Light killing people is frankly bullshit to start with, even with L being involved.
