If you’re curious how the influencer media pay-op works on the right, here’s a short explainer:

Coca Cola never actually writes a check to Ian Miles Cheong. First the Coke money is laundered to a libertarian or “pro capitalism” think tank as a “donation.”

Then a PR person for the think tank sent an email blast to all of these conservabro influencers with versions of the post to make.

No direct compensation is attached, but it maintains the implicit promise of future access and funds. So Ian can say he honestly never took a check from Coca Cola. Coca Cola can say they never paid a bunch of social media influencers to advocate for taxpayer-funded obesity.

And yet, thanks to the magic of middlemen, that’s exactly what happened.

Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare
Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds

Can't get over the fact that your tax dollars are paying for Indian EBT cards so they can stock up on milk from Walmart for their 7-11 that employs their family on an H1-B visa.

I saw a video with a lady angry she might have to use "Her Money" to buy food because her mom's EBT wouldn't work.

If I recall it was obama who moved things from stamps to cards and expanded that shit greatly.

More Americans exposing the truth about the SNAP EBT Program
"The real reason why a lot of people are upset about this whole food
stamps snap benefit thing, bro, is because they're selling their food stamps.
They're selling them. I'm telling you, they are selling their food stamps. You
know how many people in New York and other states right now are going to
the corner store, the deli, and they're selling their food stamps"
"That's why they're getting like $4,000 - $3,000 in food stamps, and
they're selling it for cash. They'll get $4,000 in food stamps and they'll just
take like $1,000 in cash. Like bro, like that's happening like everywhere.
That's why they're mad."
"They will never admit to selling their food stamps. But it's happening."

Any bets on how long it will be before every retail store uses the Costco membership model of business. Require customers to pay a fee upfront for the privilege of shopping there and requiring identification before they can enter. Only way I see to cut down on retail crime.
