Electronic Benefits Transfer video--real or not?
« on: March 11, 2012, 05:58:11 PM »
Someone just emailed me a link to this. It seems like it could be real, but just as possible to be a fake.

What do you think?

My laptop audio stopped working the other day, so I don't know what she's saying...

But I can tell you I've witnessed a lot of outrageous stuff in person, actually happening, concerning the EBT bullshit.

I am per-disposed to believe it, but that could just be my mean streak shining thru.  Any of our Left Coast members have the straight skinny on this?

Depends on what you mean by "real".

Does California use the EBT debit system?  Yes.

Can California recipients buy fast food with their EBT cards? Yes.

Are the figures she cites correct?  Don't know.

It's a sarcastic protest against social parasites.  Look at the other videos on the account to learn more.
