I am also disabled… but, in a situation where… yeah I kept trying to qualify for SNAP, but uh… nope, I make too much money with SSDI, basically only because they count the part that’s deducted for Medicare, that I don’t ever see… as income.

If they didn’t do that, then I would have qualified for SNAP.

Yay.

But, what that means is I’ve figured out how to not die without SNAP… and… also because I am an econometrician by school and trade… welp, I’ve been slowly and quietly stockpiling a surplus of rice and beans and soup and such since the tariffs started happening…

I predicted a signifcant rise in food prices.

I did not predict SNAP being entirely turned off. Cut back a good deal, yes, but no, not just entirely fucking off.

I guess what I would say is that you and yours should probably do as much stockpiling of basic staples like that as you can, before the grocery stores become warzones.

And to do that as inconspicuously as possible, unless there is some local, tight knit mutual aid group you can join.

Oh right of course, yeah if SSDI gets turned off, welp, yeah, I’m dead in probably under 6 months.
