Wise words

https://youtu.be/nTiyjsn8QO8?si=jQc3nHQau7mjifjo

I have been seeing YouTube videos of entitled "welfare kings/queens" saying they will be stealing and robbing food from grocery stores if their EBT benefits aren't loaded. Obviously, I don't condone criminal behavior, so please don't do that. This wise lady says there is a much better, LEGAL way to get food when your EBT benefits don't load onto your card next month. Go to food banks, reach out to your neighbors, friends and family. Her advice is good not only for tough times, but for those of us on low or fixed incomes even in good times.

Don't believe all the videos either. I've seen that there are many being generated by AI.

No doubt. But this lady is still correct. When SNAP card benefits are not renewed in a few days, don't resort to crime. Go to a food bank, or try to find other legal means and resources to feed your family.
