Oh come on, you can’t post that without the updates in the comments! We need to see the rest.

OP is here for you. Don't believe her though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is it me or does the word approved appear poorly photoshopped on that "application"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Lol you think?

Sounds like she has an income so I'm sure she committed a minor felony just now

It's not hard to defraud the State, unfortunately; it's the price we pay for not making it super-hard for at-risk people in need to get help.

Reporting her would be a good thing; just sending screen-caps might be enough.

Don't worry, I don't. ;)

I could almost believe that, actually. It's easy to get initially approved for SNAP, but they'll follow up to get proof of your being low-income pretty soon and then cancel if you can't/don't do so.

Except that the program hasn't been called "food stamps" in ages, so she clearly is making it up.

Everyone I have ever known to receive SNAP has still called it "food stamps" even though they physical mechanism these days is a debit card. It's just ingrained into American culture at this point. The name is probably not going anywhere any time soon.

We still use an image of a floppy disk to save documents.

Right, but the form she shared a picture of says "food stamps", and that's just not going to happen.

It's a blank form too, probably just a stock photo.

They also don't call it "welfare" any more.

I put $0 under income. I have earnings and they don't ask about earnings.

This thinking is so outlandish to me. Consider the whole life of this person who finally then spouted the above quote.

What went so wrong with her development and growth through life?

I feel like the thing that really sets the SovCit breed of crazy apart, the truly pernicious twist that makes it so appealing to some while so obviously ridiculous to everyone else is the idea that buying into it all means you're smart.

That you've figured out the game and have the system by the tail.

And much like any cult, part of the deal is that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either: too stupid to understand and worthy only of your smugness and patronizing disdain...or if not stupid, most likely in on the very system you're fighting. Either way, anyone who isn't already onboard is someone you don't want to communicate with.

I assume they've seen companies talk about revenue vs profit, and think they can claim there's a difference between earnings and income.

Fatherlessness.

I think if you listen to right wing conspiracy you become seriously crazy.
