I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am the host of seventeen different podcasts. Now, try
to explain that to somebody who doesn't know where your
podcasts are. Well, it's on iHeartRadio. Oh, it's on Apple,
It's on It's on, it's on I can't find it, Well,
yeah you can. Everything is now on Arrow dot net
A R R O E dot net. I'm one of
those guys who likes to ask a lot of questions,

(00:20):
and the reason why is because there's a lot of
fun and it starts with researching for answers such as,
are lawmakers truly putting this nation in a position of
wide spread starvation? Plus the penny? Is it really going away?
And is it happening right now? My name is Arrow.
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on

(00:42):
the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.
I call it the Daily Mess, a chronological walk through
an everyday world. Yeah, it's my morning pages. As a
receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to
throw things to the side because we think we're gonna
deal with it later on. Yeah, let me know when
you get back to it. All right, When a subject
arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.

(01:05):
It's still keeping that daily journal. But by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Are
we truly putting ourselves in a position of food versus famine?
Research shows that it's highly unlikely that the United States
is facing widespread starvation, Yet millions of people who base

(01:29):
their lives on supplemental nutritional assistance programs are at risk
of a significant disruption in food as well as medicine.
But this isn't about the US government shutting down. Here
is the truth. EBT card thefts, they're out of control.
A study released in March of twenty twenty five shows

(01:51):
a huge increase in unidentified transactions. They've doubled in the
first quarter of the year. Over one hundred thirty six
million EBT benefits were stolen. Well coordinated cyber attacks have
exposed critical weaknesses. Fifty seven percent of Americans hooked up

(02:12):
to the EBT Lifeline have reported skipping or cutting back
on meals, and forty six percent had to borrow money
in order to find food. The experts claim that starvation
in the United States is not a realistic possibility. The
reasons why and in seasons past, the US government has

(02:33):
created ways to help families facing such darkness. Coming up next,
the penny? Is it true? It's going away? And it's
happening right now? Hey, thanks for coming back to the
daily mess. Is the penny really going away? Our company

(02:57):
has stopped physically charging by the penny. If an order
is thirty nine dollars and seventeen cents, the customer is
actually charged thirty nine dollars and fifteen cents, the company
loses two pennies. If they're truly forcing out pennies, Companies
like mine need to create plans that no longer see
a few pennies as being short of a profit. The

(03:19):
final order of pennies from the mint has been made,
full circulation should come to an end in early twenty
twenty six. Only forty two percent of Americans want the
US government to say, Yeah, let's get rid of them.
They're in the way. Who needs a penny? Thirty percent
of those oppose it, and only Congress can legally abolish

(03:40):
a coin. What they're facing is the Mint or Treasury
Department making up their own path and halting the making
of the coin. The rounding up of the cash transaction
is spreading through each state with high hopes of not
going penniless. Digital payments are on the increase, which reduces

(04:00):
the demand for pennies. One thing to look out for
in the future when a company decides they're going to
charge you extra money for using cash. Uh oh, I'm marrow.
And that's the daily mess.
