Where will it go from here? In the "glitch" with EBT cards we saw some startling images in the news feeds. That was just a small glitch that didn't really even involve hungry people. Granted tension was high with our government shut down, but as far as I can tell, the only thing that was really shut down were the parks and memorials. Everyone got their "I paid into it check" and their "I need it benefits." So, what happened and what is to come?
As I viewed these images, I got a really sick feeling. What if the glitch was more than a glitch, regardless of accidental or intentional? What if the programs ceased? When did we become a society of entitlement beyond need? And this is clearly an indication of that very notion. Was it panic that prompted those shoppers to take hundreds of dollars worth of food they knew was not paid for? Was it fear that the glitch was permanent? Or was it simply an opportunity to take advantage? I can't see their hearts, but our Creator does not condone theft.
It almost seems the cards and programs have taken the reality out of begging and in some cases, the shame out of laziness. Unfortunately, this could again be a reality, in a few months, on a wider scale.
