I'd be pretty pissed, too, if my camera took such blurry pictures.

It's actually all energy drinks. Rockstar is just advertising it to pull until all the FSA before they figure it out.

Gotta have energy to get up at 2pm for judge Judy, what's the issue?
|

Yep, the drink for Meth heads between binges. Subsidized by your hard earned tax payer money.
My neighbor is a LEO, and he told me a story of a guy going into a Kangroo mart and buying cases of Monster twice a week. The owner pulled up the guys EBT balance and it was over $6,000. |

I do not lose sleep over welfare recipient's nutritional choices.

Please share your list of the businesses who should benefit from welfare.
|
|
Fuck the guy who approves this shit. Cheese and white bread need to be the only things on the list of items you can purchase with EBT.
|

Be mad at the law makers that allow it to happen, not the corporations.

I recently dealt with a person(?) who is a 3rd or 4th generation welfare rat, and had absolutely no idea that the government didn't provide a free monthly check to everybody in the country. Now where do you think your pic lands on my rage scale?

It's not like they weren't going to spend their EBT money on some other worthless shit.

I had to look up where Rockstar is based to see what congressman they bought off to get that shit EBT approved. To my surprise, Rockstar was founded by the son of Michael Savage, Russell Weiner.
Here's another little gem I had no idea about: In July 2009, Change.org announced they had negotiated an agreement with Rockstar resulting in the release of a statement that affirmed the company's continuing support for LGBT rights. In addition, Rockstar agreed to donate $100,000 to LGBT rights organizations.[24] The Bilerico Project, an LGBTQ group, took credit for facilitating the agreement. They reported that Rockstar CFO Janet Weiner had stepped down from her role as CFO of Savage Productions "as an apparent statement of solidarity with equality advocates" which had not been requested as part of the agreement.

Ahhh, Rockstar. That's the outfit owned by Michael (Weiner) Savage's son.
Good conservative family. ETA: Beat by KatSnatch, 1 minute! |

because the unemployed should have equal access to energy in order to be able to get up and go find a job!
Wonder how many congress critters got an envelope to allow that BS. Paying taxes is for suckers in this country! |
|
You can buy absolutely every single thing that is a food item with an EBT card.
You can't buy protein powder, though. |

Been this way for a while. Couple years ago a buddy and I were at a gas station to get some monsters. Methy chick comes up to us and offers to use her ebt to get our monsters if we buy her some smokes. I told her to move along. My buddy however pulled 3 more monsters out and asked what she smoked. $12 worth of monsters for a $4 pack of cigs.

Alrighty then. I guess I am just going to have to start buying EBT cards on the black market for 50% face value. Then use my profits for moar AR stuff.....

I have bigger fish to fry today than getting worked up over that.

OP realized this only now? EBT you can buy all sorts of shit.
|
|
|
I wonder if this is actually something from the store itself or the local distributor maybe? I don't really know how that works, I guess Rockstar, Monster, etc. would want to approve of what promos are used though.

Really, once you decline to object to the concept and implementation of a minimum wage, this sort of thing is an inevitable outcome.

View Quote It's a marketing gimmick. There's no government group that sits around approving individual products. Basically, if it's meant to be consumed by a human, and it's not hot or alcohol, it's eligible. It's been that way since at least the 80's, if not well before. |

I would be very pissed too if my camera took foggy pictures like that

It made me think, "Monster sure knows their demographic."
If for some derpy reason the law was changed to allow food stamp benefits to be used to buy cigarettes or dip, I would expect tobacco companies to advertise the hell out of that fact as well. Tattoo parlors? Same. As for why food stamp benefits can buy pure crap like that? It's one outrage in a sea of so many outrages I'm a bit numb to it, frankly. |
|
Reminds me when I saw a Papa Murphy's pizza joint open up and their banner made "EBT" info in a larger font than anything else displayed.
|
|
|
They should make a sign that says what is NOT EBT approved. It would be fucking easier.
