A glitch in the EBT system stopped posting how much credit was on such cards in Louisiana. "shoppers" at Walmart must have texted each other on their Obamaphones because more people showed up wanting to use the cards. Walmart corporate (probably fearing a riot) told the store to allow them to use the cards without limits (blank checks ya all). Soon a swarm (herd?, riot?, flock?) of EBT card users descended on the hapless Walmart in full force. Loading shopping carts beyond capacity, forming convoys, and generally showing themselves to be the greedy, opportunistic thieves that we don't have a lot of use for, they stripped the store shelves like it was another Katrina. After the EBT cards came back online they found one woman with a credit of 45 cents trying to get out with a shopping cart of $700 in merchandise.
The lesson to be learned is that when the shit hits the fan, these are the people that we will have to deal with. More later today.
