I saw competing figures - I think what it amounts to is there are some straight illegal alien participation in the program. Then there is also the baby born here as a citizen used as a conduit to provide benefits to the non-citizen family. I'm seeing estimates from 10% to 60% of SNAP use attributed to non-citizen use. Whichever is accurate, it is too many.
Danegeld was extracted at spearpoint. The vikings did give the locals something: in exchange for money, the locals didn't die on those spear points.
Grain dole was extracted with threat of riot.
Modern Obese-Americans get freebies because leftists fetishize poor and brown. The leftists gib da gibsmedats to buy a sense of virtuousness, to fill a void with the fantasy da po’ and da brownies need them, love them, think well of them.
It’s really kinda sad.
I handed out welfare. I know.
There is NO REASON for welfare. I saw maybe two people out of the thousands who actually needed help. Everyone else was just lazy and grifting. I saw parents *space out the births of their children* to keep on the programs rather than get jobs. 4 kids, one every five years, so as to keep within program requirements.
Another thing: these people know the system better than the people working there.
If they have that kind of discipline, they don't need welfare.
I saw 'families' of persons using the same address, working the system while working jobs... they'd not get married, the wife claims da gibsmedats, he works a job. Because they are not married and he uses his Mom's physical address, the program rules said they are not a family. BANG! They just effectively DOUBLED the household income, dodged taxes, and it was all legal.
I saw moms of teenage sluts, now preggers, hauling their daughter in to get her signed up. They were 'middle-class' families, not po' folks. Mom would supervise to ensure her baby and grandbaby got all the gibsmedats the law allowed.
The only thing that ever motivated these people was the cold. If the heat went off, they were in my office with everything required in triplicate so fast, they broke the sound barrier.
One of the big under-covered scandals of welfare is the mixed family - unmarried people, some working and some claiming welfare as though they have no household income.
I did the math on this when we had our first before we got married. How easy it would be for my now wife to get 5-10k in benefits as a family we "earned" out of but as a "single" mom she qualified for
Another good thing is that this experiment is occurring during the fall. They prefer to riot in the summer, but they become chickens when there's snow and frost outside.
A system that prioritizes only scientific and mathematical “efficiency” and profit - ie operating with the least possible number of jobs- will create massive unemployment. There are not enough jobs. A system that puts poison in newborns on day one and continues injecting poison throughout childhood will create unemployables. The system is eating itself - with profit and Scientism
An interesting thought experiment that will, unfortunately, never result in changes. Our politicians are greedy, self interested cowards, far worse than the kings who paid Danegeld.
Yes I keep thinking somebody is gonna cave on this issue .. I do think people want to help those less fortunate, but yes it comes with fraud.
And, recently my state, started limiting items that can be purchased with SNAP like cokes and chips. I was thinking why in the world was this ever allowed?
Do I think people will do crazy stuff over this … I guess we will see
Interesting post. I begin to wonder, though: if SNAP is “Danegeld” do the elites desperate to outsource and automate jobs view jobs as a form of Danegeld as well? But for working class/middle class people instead of super poors? Is ICE Danegeld for Chuds? Are all the government bureaucrat jobs Danegeld for smol beans?
42 million people. FIFY. Not 42 million Americans. A lot of immigrants and illegals are on it.
That's not allowed

Welfare is just insanity.

Exactly. The whole system is easily gamed and only a fool wouldn’t sign on for loads of freebies.
Unless you had principles or something…

"SNAP’s defenders will have to confront an uncomfortable truth"
No, they'll just ignore it and no significant political power will force them to confront it.
Another good thing is that this experiment is occurring during the fall. They prefer to riot in the summer, but they become chickens when there's snow and frost outside.
Walmart receives a quarter of all snap dollars. Think how perverse this is
Walmart can cut its losses and leave laughing to the bank.

"They will riot only if Democratic leadership thinks it is useful."
Thank you for putting "only" in the correct place, immediately before what it modifies.
"only riot" would have been obvious wrong, but most people put "only" in the wrong place:
All different meanings:
I only eat fish when I'm sick. (This means you don't drink fish when you're sick, for example.)
I eat only fish when I'm sick.
I eat fish only when I'm sick.

Framing the urban poverty problem as an effort to pacify black people is a confession that Critical Race theorists have it right.
This article is superb. You have it just right.
While most of this is true, there are plenty of rural white Americans on SNAP. Government dependency is very seductive.

I think it would be very wise for any man of military age to ICE 🧊 up.
If not military, or at least police.
The age of the SWPL , the last Bugmen of history is over, the age of the CHUD has begun.
