#1 Oh, the shock of it all, try finding a job... you might find your dignity quotient going up.

#3 when the EBT cards start flashing "ERROR" the politicians' asreholes should pucker. They are the ONLY thing holding this country from total chaos. 50 Million hungry people, many of them "lifers" in the system and unable to feed themselves should scare the hell out of any public official.

#8 Bread and circus's were the opiate of the roman mob. The emperors and senate learned very quickly that dependence bred very little patience in the mob. Seems our democrat self-styled overlords neglected their classics studies !

#9 It would seem to me that these incompetent govt systems and sites are also ripe for hacking by various nefarious folks. At least on the surface, it seems that the govt does not need help in crashing their own systems.

#10 Why does it seem to be a feature instead of a bug?
