the Gov is not truly shut down if they are still taking taxes out of my paycheck.

I think Ent Credit union sent out an e-mail about offering help during this time period.

Has anyone else been tracking all of the Social Media talk from the SNAP/EBT community regarding their plans for this weekend (particularly Saturday) if they don't get their benefits on Saturday?

- I've seen countless videos suggesting the plan to attempt to scan purchases and then present EBT - if nothing is on the card, they'll just walk out with the groceries anyway.
- I've seen videos suggesting a mass run for the door with full carts of food, indicating "they can't stop us all".
- I've also seen videos where they say they'll lay in wait for other shoppers to come out of the store with groceries, and then steal them.

There's suggestions that some grocery &/or mega box stores (like WalMart) will be locking their doors to customers (employees only). All purchases will be required to be online pre-paid where the employees will bring your items out the door for you to pick up.


Has anyone else been hearing any of this? Is anyone planning to avoid shopping or go out with increased threat awareness? Anyone think it's all just hype and little to nothing will occur?

Thoughts.

And just WHO might these people be doing all this talking?

40 million hungry Americans? What could possibly go wrong? Martial law without paying your military?

The big problem will be the low income neighborhoods of the big cities. NY, LA, etc.

Will the police really arrest you for stealing one potato?

Jeffco's website states...


Should have always been required, IMO.

The videos I've seen have been pretty diverse. Men, women (mostly women), white, black and hispanic. Not sure where these folks are from, but my guess is they're scattered in different locations across the U.S.

The mindset of the folks in question pertaining to this discussion is not resorting to theft for basic sustenance. Ain't nobody in said group going out to heist a single potato.

The gov. shut down just gives em another reason to rob, rap, and steal. Not like they haven't been doing it anyways.
