So Obamacare, Medicaid, and SNAP are pretty decimated.

Is the United States going to be the kind of country to let it's poorest and most vulnerable die in the streets of starvation or treatable disease and medical conditions?

I am afraid to be in the United States because I fear some kind of proletariat uprising. I would not want to be in Compton or Watts when the EBT gets shut off.

I believe that the main purpose of SNAP and EBT is to pacify the lower levels of society so they do not get too upset and organized for a major uprising. Well, that is gone.

I myself am on SSDI, Medicaid, and Medicare although I am working now and trying to establish a career. I feel like the elite in the United States just wants to kill off the lower classes.

Are my concerns unfounded?

No. Americans are Americans. We're cooked.
