27% of Americans Are Skipping Meals Because of Skyrocketing Food Costs
27% of Americans Are Skipping Meals Because of Skyrocketing Food Costs
With grocery prices up 25% since the beginning of the pandemic, Americans have found themselves making some serious sacrifices and putting off paying for necessities, such as rent or other bills, to afford groceries.
....you know maybe its misguided, especially as someone who practices it, but suddenly i can't help but connect this with how intermittent fasting became super trendy more recently.
Same with OMAD
But Biden assured me the economy was good!
The economy is indeed doing amazing, just not for us
Anyone have a beginners guide to shoplifting? Like, how to do it without being caught?
If you're literally shoplifting to get enough food, it shouldn't be too hard. Food staples are not especially closely guarded (the way electronics and whatnot are) and they're cheap enough that loss prevention people aren't going to focus too hard on it.
If I were in a food-precarious situation I would just make a habit of grabbing a chunk of extra food any time I'm buying food. Leave it in the cart or your own bag or whatever and if you get caught by Paul Blart well then you just forgot to ring up that one, no big deal.
I'd look up what amount of theft (in $ amount) constitutes a felony and then be careful to never steal more than that from one store, not even over a period of months or years. Cause those wannabe piggies will be more than happy to let you cross that line and then get the cops involved
Pretty sure $1000 is the line where it becomes a felony. Walmart has been known to keep track of theft and wait until they have enough evidence to bust you for a felony. "If we hit them with a felony, they go to prison and they can't steal anymore," is the justification. Really, they just don't see us as humans.
Used to be one of those Paul Blart Mall Farts (it was either do a security guard course for indigenous guards or lose my Centrelink benefits). Back in the days before they put in sensor gates at the entries and exits, you could pretty much head straight back out the front and nobody could stop you. All we did was write down descriptions in a log that I'm fairly sure nobody read.
A few months before I quit, Coles got rid of us guards because they realised we barely actually did anything to stop people taking stuff. CCTV and facial recognition pretty much replaced guards.
(For the record, I'm very much a "If you've seen someone stealing, no you didn't" kinda guy now. Last straw for me at that job was when they wanted me to do a course for an army base gate guard. Fuck the troops.)
Simply take what you want, and if someone gets uppity put the gun in their mouth in Gears of War: E Day

Declaring America an AES because no food.
Government Cheese about to make a comeback
Both sides are so ideologically opposed to handouts that it's possible they won't do anything like that. If that happens, people can't eat and when people can't eat we enter the Cool Zone (TM).
This must be the famous gommulist Biden policy the chuds had told me about
