Went to Walmart today and everything was business as usual. No niggers looting, no extra security at the door, just people doing normal people shit.

Maybe the looting will come gradually as food stores dry out... or maybe nothing will happen. Who knows?

Just got back from Costco. It was absolute chaos, but that's pretty par for the course at this costco. My bad for having to go on a Saturday but I needed groceries and bulk items. Was definitely majority white, but again, pretty standard for this Costco.

Going Saturdays isn't a problem if you're not a degenerate who sleeps until noon. Here they open at 10am for normal Costco members, but us Elite members like myself are let in at 9. It doesn't get any more peaceful in a Costco than during Elite only hours. :smug:

It ain't the EBT americans I'm worried about, but rather about the ACA Subsidy shit. I fucking hate how I'm forced to use it. Mine just went up 2.5x.

String up everyone involved in pushing Obamacare. Can older people tell me what health insurance cost before Obamacare? What about health insurance for working class broke/part time bastards.

EBT is largely one huge grift. I recommend kiwis, who need food/supplies that badly, to look into churches and similar organizations.

The ACA clusterfuck right now is that the tax credit for premiums on the marketplace hasn't been renewed yet, people are seeing the full cost of their insurance on the ACA, and freaking out about it. This should have been done before the open enrollment period came around, but wouldn't take effect until Jan 1st if the credits don't get renewed before them.

Some have asked what was health insurance like before the ACA. Well I've been around long enough to say that it was completely different until employers stopped providing benefits to their employees (because they didn't have to) and of course the people were left to pay the entire premiums themselves.

However you couldn't get coverage at all because you have some kind of pre-existing condition or you can get coverage but they won't pay out for anything that is pre-existing or any other reason they made up on the fly to not cover anything. And that shit isn't cheap, then as it is now. This sea change with employers not giving out benefits at all, of any kind, and paying little enough that you can't afford rent either, happened fairly recently.

There's always bullshit government retarded rules involved with any bills out there but that is what the ACA and its tax credits is actually meant to be for. You blame taxpayers who make less than you do but they are renewing their plans at the full cost of premiums that you are looking at.

The government is not doing its job. It's not ok for people to have to sign up and agree to pay these premiums on Jan 1st when literally no one can afford them at all. This is something you should honestly, seriously bother your Congressmen about. Get your state government to take action too. Twenty-five states and DC made enough noise about EBT to cause the President to take action. Make them take action now.

They can't because they never paid directly, America's Medical system is entirely fucked because we haven't actually paid for Insurance directly for decades because it is all "a benefit" from your job. Which means it is partly paid by your Corporation..which means you don't actually know what the fuck the price is.

Maybe this is a Europoor view, but is lobster some kind of basic staple food in America?
Presiona para expandir...
No, despite it being prison food in some coastal areas in previous centuries, it is a luxury food. When groids sucking off the public tit boast about getting it, they are boasting about buying food working Americans can rarely afford. They are spitting in the faces of the people who work to get taxed to pay for them to have their luxury foods in their nigger hovels.

That is how much contempt these groids have for the people who are paying for their food.

You mean to tell me that not only was I being extorted to pay for their gibs, but that I was paying for the privilege of being extorted as well?
What's the number of people to refuse to pay tax needed for the system to collapse again? Like 1% of tax payers?
Presiona para expandir...
Something like that, but 1% is still 3 million working Americans, very hard to find that many with integrity.
 
update from my neck of the woods nothing ever happens, the most interesting thing all day was one person who purchased 10 beer kegs and one of them exploded in the parking lot.
 
Happy EBT-less November, kiwis. Let's have a toast for all the niggers that WON'T be enjoying this song:

That was the major thing. Even if you could afford to pay whatever outlandish price insurers were asking, you could get denied for individual coverage for things like you had a spider bite in the third grade or headaches or anything else otherwise minor and who cares. If you were lucky enough that had an employer that offered group coverage, well then they had to take you no matter what, but God help you if you lost that job and couldn't find another that offered health insurance.

Those Christian health shares seem like these insurances in all but name
 
I hit up a friend I worked with who still works for the Waltons.

Sales were massively up compared to last year he sent me a screen shot of his work devices sales tracking and it was up like 30%
There were a lot less Trashy folks causing issues and arguing about "wrong prices"
despite sales being up..lots of less "Loading Cash app" folks.
