Fucking disgusting that Trump is literally counting on Democrats not wanting people like me and my family to have to worry about starving to avoid having to negotiate with them.
I hope like hell they don't cave to this fucking hostage tactic.
They're going to eventually cut more benefits, including snap, anyway.
But we got a new ballroom on it’s way!
The Jeffrey Epstein ballroom nonetheless.
You know, three skipped meals and all...
Nine
Lots of versions but yeah mostly its "nine" https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/05/02/nine-meals/
I would argue that its less than 9 for people that have never actually experienced true hunger however.
Well in 2025 it will be an unlimited number of meals because the United States citizen isn’t going to do anything against the government, they are just going to steal from Walmart
People stealing from Walmart would fall under the "anarchy" part i would say. The last quote even says stealing specifically.
Stealing Food from a corporation is not anarchy while you let the government do whatever they want.
People are going to get arrested left and right for all sorts of things. There will be way too many people in prison and we will have to put them to work. Labor shortage solved.
Far too many people Think this is business as usual and that everything will be over in 2028 when Trump leaves office. But this shit is never ending. This is the new reality… And like reality, humans love to ignore it
If almost nobody is following laws, then thats anarchy in my book. Im not saying that its immoral or bad for people to steal under these circumstances but that doesnt change the fact that its anarchy from a societal standpoint. Even if the state and its laws still exist, the outcome is the same as if they didnt.
They are following the laws. They are just disobeying one, which is going in and stealing food. That is the only law they are breaking. They won’t stop paying taxes, they will relatively drive the speed limit, they won’t kill people (Except maybe their neighbors for food), No one will go around raping or stealing televisions.
When you say almost nobody, that’s the incorrect part in my opinion. The vast majority of people aren’t going to be doing any of this. The vast majority of people can afford food – even if they cannot afford much else. The people who are actually affected by this are a relatively small amount of people. And the number of people who will actually die of starvation inside the United States because of snap shutting down will be absolutely zero.
I mostly agree with everything you said, but
The vast majority of people can afford food
that might still be true now, but not for long. Unless something drastically changes the US is heading for a complete market crash. Without government intervention in the food industry, people will either starve or steal. If people keep stealing en mass then the store closes and then it gets very serious very quickly.
It will get serious, but no citizen GROUPS will attack the government. At best, it’s a few angry people sprinkled about that will amount. There will be no revolution. There will be no uprising. It will be business as usual for most people.
Everyone keeps saying it’s about to happen, and then when it doesn’t happen they say the next thing it’s gonna do it, and then the next thing, and then the next thing. It is never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever going to happen.
JFC, praying for you guys.
