00:00:00.000 Working a traditional nine-to-five has never worked in my favor because of my brain chemistry.
00:00:05.960 Because I'm lazy and I want to blame something.
00:00:08.820 What up, guys? Welcome to my reaction series.
00:00:11.520 So as you guys know, President Trump recently cut back on food stamps.
00:00:15.720 A lot of people are crashing out.
00:00:17.360 And on this channel, we love watching a good crash out.
00:00:22.060 So today we are reacting to people crashing out about not having food stamps.
00:00:27.880 I cannot believe that they're going to be taking away food stamps for November because I have not worked in over 14 years.
00:00:34.160 And now I'm going to be without food for my kids.
00:00:36.520 Like, what am I supposed to do now that the holidays are coming?
00:00:39.040 What am I going to be cooking?
00:00:40.020 Did she think she was going to get sympathy by saying she hasn't worked in 14 years?
00:00:44.500 Did she think that was a good thing to admit on the Internet?
00:00:47.660 Women, do you know what I mean? 1.00
00:00:48.680 It's like we just don't think things through.
00:00:50.820 Women will admit to crimes on the Internet. 1.00
00:00:53.320 Men, they'll at least, you know, try to not say it.
00:00:58.520 Although, to be fair, women will gaslight into eternity where men, if they get caught, they're kind of like, all right. 1.00
00:01:03.820 But in terms of like dumb ways to get caught going on TikTok and saying I haven't worked in 14 years.
00:01:09.200 I don't know why you thought that was a good idea.
00:01:11.220 For Thanksgiving, if I can't even afford it.
00:01:13.040 You know, if I'm not getting my November deposit, what am I going to do? 0.99
00:01:17.200 And this is what happens when all you dumbasses out there vote for Trump. 1.00
00:01:20.640 Like, he has ruined our fucking country. 1.00
00:01:23.560 Like, doesn't he have enough with deporting all the people that he's deporting? 1.00
00:01:26.880 Now, you know, the government has shut down.
00:01:28.540 They can't come to a deal. 0.99
00:01:29.480 So now we can't have our fucking food stamps. 0.99
00:01:32.360 Like, you mean that now we're going to have to go to work to be able to buy food for our family? 1.00
00:01:38.200 That is honestly ridiculous.
00:01:39.520 You know, like I said, I haven't held a job in over 14 years because I don't want to lose my benefits.
00:01:44.500 So with that being.
00:01:45.540 So you have to work like the rest of us.
00:01:48.140 Why would she think this is a good idea to admit on the internet? 0.99
00:01:51.420 I mean, women are great liars. 1.00
00:01:53.140 I mean, you might as well start now. 1.00
00:01:54.800 He said, if any of you guys see anyone stealing groceries from the grocery store, mind your motherfucking business. 0.98
00:02:01.800 And you know, this also comes from all you haters out there that, you know, work a nine to five. 0.99
00:02:05.720 I'm going to steal.
00:02:07.080 And if you don't want to watch me steal, mind your business while I rob stores.
00:02:13.280 Why would you put this on the internet?
00:02:14.540 And you're like, but I can't afford to feed my family. 1.00
00:02:17.120 Well, then maybe you need to get a second job or a better paid fucking job. 0.99
00:02:20.400 All right. 0.99
00:02:20.800 Let's, let's see this.
00:02:22.340 Yeah, I guess it's affecting women of all races. 1.00
00:02:25.120 You know, we just love handouts.
00:02:27.720 And a person that might need food stamps.
00:02:30.140 I really believe in hard work and taking responsibility and community.
00:02:35.140 But I'm also chronically ill.
00:02:37.260 I recognize that if I didn't have my family, I would 100% need food stamps to get by right now.
00:02:43.300 If you are judging someone that needs help, please remember that circumstances are sometimes just out of your control.
00:02:50.240 Life can change overnight.
00:02:51.680 Pulling myself up by my bootstraps and giving 100% looks different now.
00:02:56.280 Sometimes giving my all is 10% of what I used to do.
00:03:00.660 Giving my all is 10% of what I used to do.
00:03:04.860 Women and logic. 1.00
00:03:06.260 We just don't.
00:03:06.680 To be able to do.
00:03:07.460 Maybe your 100% isn't enough to provide.
00:03:11.180 If you're at a time where you're sick or you lose stability, it's when help matters most.
00:03:16.560 I think if you believe in self-reliance, you can also believe in compassion.
00:03:19.760 There's a lot of jobs on laptops, you know what I'm just saying.
00:03:22.000 At the end of the day, I don't think anyone should go hungry just because they're trying to get back on their feet.
00:03:27.460 Maybe they can't get on their feet.
00:03:28.800 With pots, there are days.
00:03:30.680 So whether it's food stamps.
00:03:31.940 It's so crazy.
00:03:32.680 Women would rather be on food stamps than marry an average guy and give up power. 1.00
00:03:38.340 That's how it goes.
00:03:39.440 Or a food bank.
00:03:41.500 Or your church lending a hand.
00:03:43.560 Asking for help.
00:03:44.700 Does it make you a bad person?
00:03:46.680 Or a human.
00:03:47.500 Now that I said all that, we're going to apply it.
00:03:49.440 If you're someone struggling right now, you're not alone.
00:03:52.420 If you need resources or encouragement, drop a comment.
00:03:56.580 Maybe someone in your area will know of something that can help you.
00:03:59.640 Let's help.
00:04:00.260 All right.
00:04:02.200 Okay.
00:04:02.660 This is the next woman that needs. 1.00
00:04:03.940 She kind of looks like a woman on food stamps. 0.99
00:04:07.080 Y'all, I did not want to make this video, but I see a lot of a...
00:04:10.320 Smoker voice.
00:04:11.140 I was out here talking about EBT and food stamps and not a lot of people who are on it showing up.
00:04:20.440 Hi, I'm Kelsey.
00:04:22.560 I have a master's degree in clinical social work from Temple.
00:04:26.660 That just tells me you like to spend overspend so you can feel important.
00:04:31.620 So you're not going to really get any sympathy from me if you have a bunch of student debt.
00:04:36.360 Because you could have, when you graduated, looked at all your friends that got their undergrad and said,
00:04:42.040 no one's making their money back.
00:04:43.280 Okay, maybe I'll stop.
00:04:44.540 But you kept going.
00:04:45.620 You just kept going back to school.
00:04:47.240 So that's your own fault.
00:04:48.060 Pay for it.
00:04:48.680 Well, university, I have co-founded two international nonprofits.
00:04:53.300 I've traveled the world.
00:04:54.560 I also have a severe mental...
00:04:57.380 Okay, traveling the world, again, you spent money you don't have.
00:05:01.600 So it's your own fault.
00:05:02.580 Illness, bipolar one with psychosis, which has...
00:05:06.800 Oh, God, that's your own problem.
00:05:08.260 You got to stop.
00:05:08.760 Women start with these excuses where men, it's like, men will be going through so much
00:05:13.580 and they won't say anything about it.
00:05:15.800 Whereas women will just, you know, that's what we start with is our sob stories. 1.00
00:05:20.640 Rendered me hella disabled multiple times over the past 10 years.
00:05:25.540 I've had three very, very severe, multi-month-long psychotic breaks that have had me.
00:05:33.580 I don't care.
00:05:34.300 And I'm not going to pretend to care.
00:05:35.400 What we got to stop doing as women is pretending to care when we don't care at all. 0.85
00:05:39.580 Stop making it in other people's problems.
00:05:41.320 You know, I was dealt a good lot in life.
00:05:44.360 It's probably not fair.
00:05:45.880 Some people are dealt worse lots in life than you.
00:05:49.260 Like, I know somebody that was born severely disabled and they're not on food stamps. 0.98
00:05:54.380 So, you know, it's just ridiculous.
00:05:56.600 Burned my whole entire life to the ground, which has included either quitting or getting fired from my job, ending up going into debt, ending up in severe depression and needing to be hospitalized, struggling to maintain employment at different points.
00:06:14.120 And so there is so much internalized shame on my end.
00:06:19.180 Shame comes from God, in my opinion.
00:06:21.100 I'm not even that religious, but I think, no, it either comes from nagging women or God. 0.98
00:06:28.680 I think when men feel shame, it's usually women nagging.
00:06:31.540 When women feel shame, it comes from God because even God can't save these hoes, you know. 1.00
00:06:36.820 Because I come from a low income.
00:06:38.380 You know, it's like when you have that smoker voice, what do you have been doing the last decade?
00:06:41.820 I'm a single parent household.
00:06:44.220 And I grew up with the free school lunch of needing to go get that milk carton.
00:06:49.620 And growing up in the suburbs where most of the kids had money, when you were on free school lunch, you knew it was obvious when you were sent back to go get that milk carton if you forgot it because you needed it to participate in the free school lunch program.
00:07:02.480 Being on chip, like free Medicaid, free government, health insurance, being on food stamps at different points, being on disability now as an adult, knowing that working a traditional nine to five has never worked in my favor because of my brain chemistry.
00:07:23.720 Because I'm lazy and I want to blame something.
00:07:28.220 And so now that a doctor gave me something I could blame, I will blame it instead of a poor character trait.
00:07:34.700 It's got to be my chemistry and my brain is bad.
00:07:37.880 A lot of people who have known me for long enough have seen the results of me working and grinding and trying to fit in and assimilate into our world in a quote unquote normal way.
00:07:52.220 I would love that if that was my reality.
00:07:54.700 What I'm coming to find is a lot of the folks that are living on the streets that are living for us in Philly and Kensington, who are on opioids, on fentanyl, on heroin, who are struggling with severe addiction and mental illness, are people with similar brain chemistries to mine.
00:08:11.400 People with a lot of trauma in their past, people who have experienced psychosis, a lot of us who see things and feel things very deeply.
00:08:19.700 And so what I want to just summarize all this to say is I didn't want to make this video.
00:08:26.540 I didn't want to talk about the fact that I've had to be on food stamps at different points in my adulthood.
00:08:31.780 It's not something that like I have I have a lot of internalized shame around being poor, around being disabled.
00:08:39.780 But that's something I need to work through, because how can I be an advocate for other?
00:08:44.020 Oh, my God. OK, I have had enough of this woman. 1.00
00:08:46.780 How can I be an advocate? We don't need you as an advocate.
00:08:49.220 We need you working. 1.00
00:08:51.380 This is bullshit. I was supposed to get my food stamp. 0.99
00:08:53.740 Oh, my gosh.
00:08:55.220 It's at 12 o'clock in the morning.
00:08:56.520 It's just crazy. It's all women complain. It's single mothers. That's who's on food stamps. 1.00
00:09:00.600 I understand that people like to divide it by race.
00:09:04.440 And I do agree to some extent, but these white women are on food stamps, too, or their husband's alimony or child support. 1.00
00:09:12.060 I'm thinking I'm about to get up, go shopping, give me some food, some snacks, etc.
00:09:17.440 Nope, they didn't put my food stamps on my card.
00:09:20.880 So I turn around. I call them today.
00:09:23.260 The 800 number, mind you.
00:09:25.140 OK, they tell me that there's 30 some people ahead of me and I could be on hold for a very long time.
00:09:33.400 So I'm sitting there. I'm waiting. I'm waiting because I'm really getting irritated because, first of all, I didn't get my food stamps.
00:09:40.220 Second of all, I have to sit here and wait a long time to sit here and speak to somebody.
00:09:44.580 But OK, they tell me from the food stamp office.
00:09:49.760 Oh, you didn't for you didn't turn in one piece of paper.
00:09:56.080 What paper didn't I turn in? Because you didn't send it in the mail.
00:10:01.560 Like, I hate that they did send it in the mail, but she was just too lazy to keep up with the changes going on in the government. 1.00
00:10:07.440 And then she wants someone to blame. So she'll blame the people in the food stamp office be playing with my food.
00:10:11.460 All right. Yeah. So anyways, guys, I love seeing these people crash out because I'm tired of working men paying for this stuff.
00:10:20.340 It's not fair. You know, ladies, if we don't want to be wives, fine. 1.00
00:10:23.540 Be whores. Whore out. You know what I mean? 1.00
00:10:25.540 But I actually think that women that are prostitutes are more respectable than these women, because at least the prostitutes, they're providing a service. 0.99
00:10:33.980 I mean, they got to put their somewhere. I mean, somebody's got to do it. 0.87
00:10:37.880 You know, that's at least a service to men. They're offering sexuality. 0.92
00:10:41.540 What are these women offering? Nagging. Nothing else. 1.00
00:10:44.020 Anyways, guys, like the video, subscribe to the channel, and I'll see you next time.
