Here’s how you solve this problem. Open up grocery stores strictly for EBT folks and have ONLY healthy, non-junk foods. Their food stamps aren’t good anywhere else. Stop allowing these parasites to have cash. They won’t use it wisely.

Agree, but that in itself would ‘stigmatize them’ and damage their poor little damaged psyches.

Stigma is one of the main reason the government got away from actual ‘stamps’ and went to fake credit cards that could be swiped faster than a greased stick out of a cat’s butt without anyone actually seeing it. No stigma - just another ‘tax payer.’ Ha!

Further, these ‘stores’ probably would be empty until long about 11AM-12:00PM because it upsets them having to get up earlier than that.

You confuse welfare cash payments with food benefit. They can be loaded on the same EBT card but the food benefit can only be used to buy food and drink.
