No more 100% free shit. Now they gotta actually go do something at about 1/4 full time. 80 hours a Month.
People are going NUTS about this… Like that is too hard to do to get all the free food. Part time work, or volunteer somewhere. But simply Get Off Your Ass. 2 and a half days a week. WAY less than most productive citizens do just to pay the bills. .
New SNAP work requirements go into effect, Chicago braces for impact
I just wish they’d DRUG TEST for all benefits. That’d cut down on the budget by more than half.
And, per that article, Illinois bureaucrats are already working hard to get able-bodied people exempted from even that minimal requirement.
400k able-bodies persons in Illinois on SNAP – and they’ve already exempted 100k from the requirement to work and are working on another 200k.
Sheesh.
No sweat. Carjacking, pan handling, stealing, protesting, and dealing is work, right?
Those are tax-exempt “hobbies”, lad.
Gonna be an awful lot of “exemptions”, to the point that they may have somewhere between 20 – 50 actual “workers”.
Illinois is famous for crooked Gubmint workers…

Made the mistake of grocery shopping on the first, the day EBT cards are funded. The store was full of massively obese, unwashed free-sh*tters. Their carts were full of unhealthy garbage and spendy meat. To them, it was a party atmosphere. Got a hunch most of them are capable of contributing to society.
