Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That’s all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I’m a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I’m paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.

I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I’ve always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.

    They’ve literally structured our economy around paying you enough to qualify for it. Not your fault our leaders are morons.

      Multi million dollar Businesses game the system to pay you so little they don’t have to pay benefits and you qualidt for SNAP. Its disgusting, and they blame people for fraud when we’re being starved to death. Fuck capitalism.

        Basically I’m trying to access some social services now, and the administrators don’t give a fuck about the community they are paid to tend to. Real sad
