The shutdown is hitting me personally...

I was just notified my food stamps (WI) will be updated on January 20, not February 8th.

And I won't know until the 20th if the full amount is added.

Thank you, Big Mouth Trump and Turtle Boy McConnell.

1. I almost sent you a private thread

I suspect you have a lot of pride - from reading your posts over the years.

Is there anything we can do to help? Could I paypal you some money? Do you have Amazon food delivery? Or a WalMart where we could place an order for pick up?

There's no need for ANY American to be hungry - EVER.

5. No, I'm single, and have adequate resources.

I don't frequent food banks since I have enough.

But how long until the shutdown hits my SSI?

Or any other government program I use?

Trump and his cronies like Turtle Boy don't give a damn.

2. Same here for our household. I take care of my brother, a disabled Vet

and my other half, who is on disability. We are rural so jobs are scarce anyway. Looks like I will have to take up hunting again if this keeps up.

3. On a side note...this made me check their benefit cards here in Ohio and they have posted already.

4. Also

I understand that the January 20th update is for then until the end of February. So, 5 weeks instead of a month. is this right?

6. I think so.

And then what?

Trump doesn't give a shit, he "GOTS ta have his Ozymandias statue."
