I would say tell ‘em to get a job, but then we’ve had to pay them to move to china.

RE: I would say tell ‘em to get a job

Government Dependency is like a drug... once you get use to it, it is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to get out of it. In fact, they will continue to VOTE themselves largesse from the public treasury.

When the stores are fully looted, they’ll come to our homes.

And I’ll be waiting for them.

[Kartographer]

Preppers’ PING!!

[SeekAndFind]

How many bullets do you have for them?

Clearing the shelves is not a riot.

Having nothing on the shelves will cause the riot.

“Clearing the shelves is not a riot.”

I agree, the issue this past month was not a riot. But when the cards briefly did not work at all, I was surprised that did not cause a stir.

an increasing number of people are starting to sell hair, breast milk and their own eggs in a desperate attempt to make ends meet...

This sentence is rather off-putting. Exactly what kind of eggs are they referring to?

[PGR88]

As a side note, we only need this to happen once, for about a week, and the Democrats are FINISHED.

I hope you are already supplied with precious metals (lead and brass). Otherwise, it may be another year or more before you can shop normally for those critical supplies.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I believe Walmart has to take the lead and stop taking food stamps.

[InvisibleChurch]

I'd call them 'responsibilty riots', for those people who know they'd need to work to earn enough money to watch tv with mouthfuls of chips

[fwdude]

How many bullets do you have for them?

The question is, how many bullets do I, and my neighbors, have for them?

And I won't have to shoot all of them. They are, at heart, cowards, and the first few that drop will have the rest scurrying like cockroaches.

Speculation is that 2 to 3 days of no EBT is all it will take.

Excellent article. Bump for posting.

And thanks for preserving the HTML formatting.

When the stores are fully looted they will come to the many social ministries and start biting the very hands that fed them.

[2ndDivisionVet]

20,000 in North Carolina? There are more people on food stamps in my town. That doesn’t sound right, at all.

[Paladin2]

Do they have magazine racks at the stores these days?

I could use a few dozens.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yeah, about a week after they stop taking cash, credit and debit cards. Do you have ANY IDEA how much money Wal-Mart makes every DAY from EBT?!
