In some areas…
‘Cause according to what I hear, there will be no SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits come Nov 1…all those cards ain’t gonna get refilled. (Unless the Republicans cave to the minority, which is not unlikely)
The reported numbers are all over the place, but a LOT of people get some form of SNAP benefits…and not all of them are nice people. As far as I can tell the number of SNAP users is somewhere north of 42,879,500 (ish) people.
If I were you, and I lived or shopped in an area where there were a lot of folks on Federal government food assistance, I’d get my shopping done before Sat, Nov 1st and not go back for a few days…..or find another place to shop.
Best way to stay out of trouble is to Not Be There when it starts off.
I always believed in the adage “Stay strapped or get clapped“, but I only carry one spare magazine, and in some places that puts me at a disadvantage (and severely outnumbered)…so I won’t be going shopping in those places in the near future…..
And some segments of our society are more prone to unscheduled group action than others….
You never know how (some) people will react to having their Free Shit stopped:
I’ve been carrying the same G19 since 1991. Last year I started carrying 2 spare G17 mags with plus 2 base plates. One is none…
Hoping for no riots or bank crashes. Hopium?
Forty three ish million, that seems like a lot. I’m sure it will be fine, if you’re as far away from a blue city as me. Maybe.
If this is organic, not much will happen.
But if the fuckers that run “No kings” and the “george floyd drug overdose celebrations” are behind it, it will be bad.
Democrats want a chaos situation like the mostly peaceful events of 2020, but it would be a disaster for them to do it on this.
Hey Schumer, take the “L” and move on to your next plot.
