This is actually pretty old news. DHS has been doing this for a couple of years. Here's an earlier thread on it.

this is the first I've heard of this

Just goes to not putting all your card on the table for the world to see.........Mostly self preservation common sense.

Nothing wrong with a remainder....we all need to pay attention to the world around us.

[Rick]

Redundancy is good. Not a problem at all.

Hey Rick. We could turn in each other; collect $1,000 and throw a pretty good party. Then again, how many hongs would that buy?

[crashdive123]

Even if only one.....too many.

[natertot]

I agree with Crash......

Anyway. Per the OP. I go about my business. I pay with cash, buy things in small amounts, and I am selective on my friends and who/what I share info on. Keep yer head low, but on a swivel.

Another good reason not to be in NY? This behavior would never fly in these parts. Especially with the LDS folks.

No, don't do the party, just use the money to buy more ammo and goods !

New York must have extra money.

They are paying people to report folks for "offenses" against their sensitivities that have no legal consequence. Are they going to arrest people for having too much food, too many blankets, or more than one pair of boots?

What laws are being broken?

If a family has Mom, Dad and 6 kids, buying stock for the government recommended 72 hour emergency kit might seem like stocking up for a revolution! That same purchase would stock me up for 24 days and I would probably gain weight!

It is not unusual for me to stand in the grocery line and watch moms run through with $250-$300 in assorted groceries just to supply the average family for a week. That same $300, well spent in the same grocery store, would equip me for 6-12 months and no one would lift an eyebrow.

I think it is all just conditioning the public to turning on their neighbors for anything and everything and justifying it with a cash reward, just as was done in the old Soviet Union.

OR

This may be just another one of those viral myths.

BUT

It does reinforce my "no entry onto New York" policy.

Some places I will not set foot into, and I am sure they do not want me there, so we are all happy.

It's really too bad. A lot of upstate NY is really beautiful country. That part of the state should secede. Become New New York or something.
Besides, those of us in New England need a land bridge to get out into the rest of the country. We are cut off by NY.

[diddap]

if they have 6 kids, they need to be imprisoned for offenses against humanity. especially in the USA.

How do you figure that one?

There has been talk of secession in NY and other states It was even on the ballot in a few CO counties. It comes down to rural versus metro in many ways.

Hummmm, I think there is a sniper in our midst....Time will tell.

[1stimestar]

I think you're spot on Hunter.
