There are so many ATM’s in Californicator Land which accept EBT cards, they have to list them by zipcodes not cities in much of Californicator EBT Land. Once a Obama Voter uses his/her/its EBT card at an ATM, they get cash and buy anything with it.

Where in the wide world of sports did they get enough excess cash to pay for this, mom and dad?

Got a mirror?

Yeh, I know. Sometimes I get so frustrated that I want to forget the young ones are also on every form of welfare known to mankind.

If one were to believe the gun grabbers’ propaganda, the Gander Mountain line wold have dissolved in a hail of mutual gunfire with the survivors departing to the nearest elementary school to massacre all the kiddies, while all the inner city Nike lines, particularly in notable oases of peace, like the Chicago south side, would be nothing but sweetness and light.

Yes. The Las Vegas Sun published an interview earlier this week with one member.

http://lasvegassun.com/vegasdeluxe/2014/jun/12/q-hardcore-pawn-star-ashley-gold-broad-i-have-have/

She’s no 9-to-5 lady, and by her own admission, she’s not the average female sitting at a desk job. Some would say she’s stubborn, tough and not somebody you’d ever want to mess with in a dark alley.

Meet Ashley Gold Broad, the wild woman in the even wilder world of “Hardcore Pawn,” the crazy 50,000-square-foot American Jewelry and Loan business that is the top reality TV show on TruTV.

That’s not quite how it works. EBT cash benefits can be used for anything( with a few exceptions). It takes the place of assistance, what used to be a welfare check, a paper check in the mail.
EBT Food takes the place of food stamps and can be only used for food. Not everybody gets both.
Electronic systems don’t cause fraud and abuse. I still think that they reduce fraud, though nothing cuts fraud completely out. Criminal types, and that’s what assistance fraudsters are, often sophisticated criminals, are a step or two ahead. It’s the same as Internet spam or any other problem.

One problem is when the electronic systems go down, as we saw in some major cities last year. Horrible problems ensue, but that’s true with all kinds if electronic transaction systems, ATMs, gas pumps, these fast food vending systems that we will probably see in Seattle because of the minimum wage down there. This is the down side. This is one if the reasons an EMP attack is so scary. I realize I’m veering a little off topic.

Yes, and although I imagine it happens in other cities too, this stuff is the real reason Detroit went to hell, and, I hate to say it, a real comeback is unlikely. As a disclaimer, I should say Ive never been there. But I know they had a few comebacks, but ultimately those didnt succeed long-term.

I’m interested in this stuff personally now because we are are trying to be labor coaches for the rebirth of Everett, a much smaller city, I realize. I should say downtown Everett.

Until the grip of the public employees and teacher's unions are broken, Detroit has absolutely no chance. That, and a complete purge of its leadership, are the necessities that will help cure the cancer killing the former Motor City. Another thing is to eliminate all the job killing rules and restrictions that have beem put in place to screw around with the private sector and give the union thugs busy work. If all these things could be done, Detroit might have a chance. Without them, Detroit is doomed — a dying rust belt city.

That’s pretty much what Ive thought. I also think that there are a lot of lessons for other cities there.
