Jack Spade Jerk-Off Protest Promises To 'Fill The Streets With Semen'
Shopping chaos ensues in Louisiana Walmart stores after EBT cards stop showing credit limits -- Some of this is really poor reporting, because EBT balances didn't "get removed", which implies that they were granted unlimited spending. They were deactivated, essentially. (This article was one of the earliest to report on the issue.) It's like if you went to a department store, tried to pay with Visa but was declined; even if the glitch was known to have affected everyone who had a Visa card, the store would be perfectly within their rights to not take that type of payment from someone. That these Wal-Mart stores did so was commendable but they had to have known that they may not be able to recoup their losses.
