Re: Will Food Pantries Survive After Next Week's SNAP Decimation?
Cuts must be made in America due to the 100 billion dollars sent to Ukraine.

When this reduction starts, will those impacted by this still proudly "stand with Ukraine"?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 85349988


It isn’t a cut, it is a return to the original amount before it was inflated for Covid response… reading comprehension wtf
 Quoting: CuriousSkeptic20


Which is less than the currently running inflation. In effect it will be a cut. Food still hasn't reached pre pandemic prices and never will.

Re: Will Food Pantries Survive After Next Week's SNAP Decimation?
Alot of people on SNAP are really struggling and screwed.


On the other hand, a lot of them buy all kinds of shit they dont need and dont actually use it for hardship food. I remember when I was on it during the pandemic I bought crab legs with it.

The point was for ppl like me whos job legit shut down to have money for food, but then once I started working again way back in 2020 i got off food stamps, that was after paying in most of my adult life and only using them once.

Now its been used to help ease the effects of massive food inflation, but we need to wake up to reality.

You're actually 100% correct. Companies like PepsiCo lobby Congress not to implement any restrictions on SNAP because the biggest items sold are junk food and soda.

yes extra snap benefits will end soon also the requirement of having a job to get SNAP


some states require you to work to get SNAP others dont

but if you work and make too much you wont qualify for SNAP

41 Million Americans may face starvation. Pandemic Snap benefits end next week: [link to www.nbcnews.com (secure)]

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83664450


Biden doesn't have anything to do with it. If you're not getting your regular allotment its your state's fault for not taking advantage of the federal funds offered to them. In California for instance people are keeping their maximum regular SNAP amount, and only losing the extra pandemic allotment.

wow people have truly become heartless in this country. i don't mean about the benefits being taken away i just mean that most peoples attitudes towards their fellow countryman or woman is truly disgusting and sickening. anyone who becomes sick or unable to work due to another physical or mental disability would truly appreciate these benefits and how they allow them to participate in society in a small way

This is the truth.

I had a foster kid. When she moved out at 19 and got prego and the bf disappeared, she got so much in assistance she was bringing me steaks with the leftovers. I told her not to.

They should get beans, rice, bananas and milk. Potatoes and a few chicken drumsticks.

When I worked in a grocery store when I was young I couldn’t believe they had cans of crab meat that were 30$, this was 35 years ago. I said who buys those, owner said welfare people.

That snap was supposed to be temporary to help people through the pandemic (which everyone on here said was fake anyway). And now you're bitching because the aid given out for the fake pandemic is being stopped? Our economy is going so good we have inflation, kind of hard to argue about the economy being so bad we need more welfare given out. The jobless rate is the lowest on fifty years.
