I wonder if a big part of the problem lies in that black people demand they be respected.

Only problem is nobody taught them that respect is earned.

There was a social media guy who's vid I saw recently.  He isn't as factual like Charlie Kirk, but he does say some truths.  I look at him more as entertainment than educational.  He looks black, but could pass for middle eastern mix.  Skinny guy.

He said something along the lines with regard to black women and who customer service industries/waitress/ers hate the most in a survey.  Basically it's cause black women show no respect and don't know how to keep their mouth shut.  If something goes the slightest wrong, then it explodes to a full blown argument.  He stated the reason why is because lack of fathers in the household.  Charlie Kirk stated the same with regard to 1 factor to why black men end up in prison.

Then he elaborated to the why.  These women grow up in a household with no father figure to show discipline and respect.  All the while their mothers are talking trash about the baby daddy.  "your dad aint $hit, your dad is a broke ni$$a, you don't need no man to take care of you, etc..."

What happens to the males is discussed a lot, but not really what happens to the females.  So the whole concept of the nuclear family and each mother and father have their own roles to guide their children to make good choices.

it's a cycle that needs breaking.  Some refer to it as generational welfare families.  Most of them don't want to marry their kids' father/s, because more kids and no man in the home equals massive welfare benefits. The most generous welfare benefits happen to be in the cities that also see the most crime and worst public schools.  Go figure.  Taxes being spent on people not working and who are not paying taxes into the school system.  What could possibly go wrong?

Some cast a socio-economic net over those who behave badly, but if the culture praised hard work, respect for others, getting good grades and accountability for your own mistakes, I can guarantee the socio-economic problems would be a fraction of what they are.

There are people posting videos on social media now bragging about their "EBT Haul."  It's probably one reason Trump is setting new guidelines for EBT that the Left is crying about.  States that prohibit items like sugary soft drinks, candy and junk food will get more funding than others.

Some of the videos could be characterized as "how to get the most for your dollar -- EBT or not."  But, that's not how they portray themselves.

It's beyond me how people are entertained by this content.    

Skip to 15:15 to see what cereal she selects.   

The most surprising part of this video to me is that she's not using one of the store's electric scooters.    



Customer Jumps Behind Register because
EBT does not cover Junk Food anymore!

   OK, how many of you got a headache just watching how others are spending your tax $ ?

     I have a "friend" who is a cashier at a local grocery store and they are just AMAZED  at how EBT, stamps, summer cards (yes kids get a separate card) money is spent on CRAP.
Chips, soda, candy, $100 in lbs of poke at one shot, expensive cuts of meat, shrimp, lobster and heavily processed foods etc.
I've seen this happen where the purchaser with EBT was covered on both wrists with Hawaiian Gold bracelets go out side and load all of her  "free" food into a Hummer !
No $#!t !   

    Another time  I was talking to someone who was buying over 7lbs of poke and mentioned how expensive it was.
She said it was not an issue because she was paying with cards she bought off of someone at 1/2 price.
WTF

   Then on the flip side, they also see those who are really in need making reasonable healthy purchases obviously watching what they spend pulling out their EBT or other card in complete shame with their head held low.
I think the gubbermint needs to do better than a checkup every 3 months on some of these folks.

JM"H"O 

y'all waycisssss......

One thing I think would go a long way to stopping abuse would be requiring an ID for EBT purchases.  As it is, you just swipe, enter the PIN, and go.

if people are selling their cards to convert them into cash, the buyer will have to bring the seller along to transact the payment -- or have a friendly cashier who turns a blind eye.

There was a store in China Town caught buying food stamps for 1/2 face value.  After being arrested and bailed out, she got caught doing it again the same afternoon!

There are people who don't care about eating as much as getting stoned or drunk.  They can always panhandle for food and money when they need.

Fraud, waste and abuse are the main characteristic of most government welfare programs.

Then there are the people who get way more benefits than they can use by doing nothing more than lying.

I imagine some of these tax dollars were being sold or used for others in the extended family.

Woman indicted in $340,000 welfare-fraud case

A 34-year-old woman who fraudulently collected about $342,300 in public
assistance over nine years was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury.

Peninatautele Fiamate of Honolulu is charged with 20 counts of mail fraud
and one count of food stamp fraud. Each count of mail fraud carries a
maximum sentence of five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine. Food
stamp fraud has a maximum 20-year sentence and a $250,000 fine.

Eric Weyenberg, a special investigator for the state Department of Human
Services, said he's never seen a case involving this much money. He said
most cases are below $100,000.

According to the indictment, Fiamate claimed she was the only adult in her
household and reported a false yearly income on her applications for cash
benefits, food stamps, medical benefits and reduced rent at Palolo Homes.
However, Fiamate's husband also lived in the household and was employed
from 1990-1999, the years she collected assistance.

Kate Stanley, Department of Human Services deputy director, said Fiamate's
seven children and nine years on welfare allowed her to collect the substantial
sum.

I was a bag boy and for WIC, I was amazed that a huge block of cheese was allowed.  The cashier said they often sell it as no one can eat that much cheese.

we have a massive surplus of cheese in this country.

The "Government Cheese" Program provides low income people/families on welfare with large quantities of cheese that would have gone to waste otherwise.

Government cheese is "pasteurized process American cheese", a term with a standard of identity. It is produced from a variety of cheese (Cheddar cheese, Colby cheese, cheese curd, or granular cheese), made meltable using emulsifiers, and blended. Other ingredients specified in the standard of identity may be used.

The flavor of government cheese has been compared as ranging from that of mild cheddar to Velveeta cheese due to variations in ingredients. Some people reminisce concerning the flavor of government cheese with opinions both positive and negative. Affinity for government cheese is often correlated as belonging to a lower socioeconomic status; however, this correlation also overlaps with who was most likely to receive and consume it.

On August 23, 2016, the US Department of Agriculture stated that it planned to purchase approximately eleven million pounds (5,000 t) of cheese,[6] worth $20 million,[7] to give aid to food banks and food pantries across the United States,[6] to reduce a $1.2 billion[7] cheese surplus that had been at its highest level in thirty years, and to stabilize farm prices.[7] This purchase also added revenues for the dairy producers. Regarding the purchase, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said, "This commodity purchase is part of a robust, comprehensive safety net that will help reduce a cheese surplus that is at a 30-year high while, at the same time, moving a high-protein food to the tables of those most in need. USDA will continue to look for ways within its authorities to tackle food insecurity and provide for added stability in the marketplace."[7]

As of 2022, as part of the USDA Food Nutrition Service Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), eligible seniors over the age of 60 are provided one 32-ounce (910 g) block of processed cheese food each month, supplied by participating dairies.[8] This number had not changed since 2018.[9]

Wow, no $hit? I learn something everyday.

Gov't cheese was used in military kitchens during World War II and has been used in schools since the 1950s.

At the same time, "On December 22, 1981, Reagan signed and authorized into law the finalized version of the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981, which called for five hundred and sixty million pounds (250,000 metric tons) of cheese stockpiled by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to be released, saying that it would "be distributed free to the needy by nonprofit organizations." Ronald Reagan, in his official statement about the distribution of the Cheese Inventory of the Commodity Credit Corporation, said,"

So, this has been in the news at least since the early 1980s when the media reported on all the cheese the government was stockpiling to help support dairy prices.

Not very often in my schools.  The only time we had cheese was lasagne which was like once a month and the baked spaghetti, but it was just on the top and they were very pake about it.  Good thing I was friends with the servers as they gave me the spaghetti with choke cheese on it.  Many got no cheese topping once the top layer was given out.  No cheese burgers or slices of cheese/sticks, etc...

  I wonder if HI schools are different as we did have kalua pig, and meals like that.

What we did have is a lot of milk. Then when I got to the end of elementry, chocolate milk began being available.  $0.25 for extra milk carton. At the time in the store it was about $1.

I went to school in NC.  I remember paying 5 cents for a half pint of milk in elementary school.  Until we applied for free lunches, i always brought lunch from home.   I was a picky eater and didn't always like what was on the menu.  When I stopped brown-bagging, I started trading what I didn't like for whatever was on the tray I did like.

The extra milk at lunch was the same price as milk we were allowed to buy for morning break -- somewhere around 9:45 so kids weren't starving before lunch.  Most didn't eat breakfast, and schools hadn't yet started offering breakfast before classes for those who skipped it at home.  If you didn't want white or chocolate milk, they also offered half pints of an orange drink.  It wasn't orange juice, but it was healthier than orange soda.

In the afternoon, we had an ice cream break.  i remember it was mostly fudgecicles, twin pop popcicles, orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream creamcicles, ice cream sandwiches and chocolate covered vanilla ice cream popcicles.  Prices varied.  I think they were between 10-40 cents.

Over the years, prices gradually increased, but it was always a great value compared to retail.

As for cheese, we used it on lasagna, hamburgers, cold cuts like bologna, Mac & Cheese, Hamburger helper (Mac & Cheese with burger chunks added), and breaded fish squares (Filet-o-fish). We'd use our normal soft rolls as the bread for sandwiches.  i'm sure there were other meals that included cheese, but can't recall off the top of my head.  I'm sure if it helped the school with their lunchroom expenses, they tried to use cheese as much as possible.
