Riots incoming.

This is just a case where the application to process food stamps (new owner) is held up by the shutdown. Unfortunately gibs are still working.

Could end up being the riots that ignite a race war.

It's not the shutdown, it's because they haven't got a license, big difference. Now having the state step in and cover the bills till the gov opens again might work since the state should be able to check the guidelines and make a decision if this person is a fraudster or an honest business owner.

I'm glad to see this. I dont want race war. I dont want people to starve. I want Americans to take a look at the type of entitled cunts that are recipients of American largesse.
I guess no one on foodstamps has ever heard of a food bank. There are all kinds of programs. You just have to get off your ass.
PS Please use this opportunity to remind your friends that this is a Democrat shutdown when they try to blame Trump. Explain that Trump is mainly trying to stop the drug cabal gangs and trying to stop child traffickers from bringing children in to one of their lucrative markets.

Been on SNAP before. I can tell you that meat isn't something often at food banks. Now the important thing to remember here is that with food stamps what we need is more local food suppliers such as farmers markets that are not hipster Hangouts that have bullshit items.
Like organic ketchup infused with unicorn tears. Be basic and charge a reasonable price is all. 90% of the farmers markets I have been to accept food stamps.

If someone is actually poor, beans are a dirt cheap source of protein.
