Sadly I'm beginning to suspect he is either autistic or possibly the early stages of dementia.

You know I am still waiting , and it has been years now , for him to show us where anybody and I mean anybody has ever denied any of their posts, he keeps saying that and yet he can NOT show us where it has even happened ONCE.
Some times I feel sorry for him being so slow and everything.
Yep as you say he could be autistic.

Wasn't Crazy Trump going fix this problem on day one.

In 2025, nearly one in five adults ages 18 to 64 — almost 20% — paid for groceries with savings, and nearly one in 20 — more than 5% — bought them with cash from a payday advance loan.


Those are two of the findings of a survey by the Urban Institute, a Washington, D.C.–based nonpartisan think tank that conducts economic and social policy research.



Its Well-being and Basic Needs Survey for 2025 also revealed that although nearly 35% of adults 18 to 64 who paid for groceries with a credit card paid the bill in full when it came due, more than 19% paid less than the full balance, and almost 9% did not always make the minimum payment. Contrast that with 2023, when around 7% did not make the minimum payment.

I pay for everything with my savings. And my minuscule social security as long as the government ponzi scheme stays afloat.

What those that want cash for the EBT card money do is "buy" some item, like a bag of potato chips, at a "convivence" store or other small store that takes EBT. The item is charged as, variously, $20 to $40 when it's worth like maybe $2. The store owner then gives the person with the EBT card $10 to $20 in cash that they can buy liquor, drugs, cigarettes, etc., with.

One of the wife's friends installs the EBT readers back East part time--she'll fly back for like a month or two--as a gig job. She sees this arrangement all the time there. It's likely a scam run nationwide. The ghetto / barrio and homeless scum all know exactly where they can get cash for EBT transactions.

MAGAts can't campaign on reducing grocery prices, reducing gas prices or not getting involved in Forever Wars so they are campaigning on the old bugaboo of communism. Do they really think most Americans are as stupid as MAGA morons? :thinking:

You certainly can sell part of an EBT card, and people do.

A piece of the EBT card is worthless. It takes a whole EBT card to be useful. You can only accept an EBT card if you have a security camera, and a live connection to the network. That means that the owner of an EBT card can immediately report it stolen, get a new one, and have anyone stupid enough to use the old one arrested.
