Food stamps are not stamps. They’re plastic cards, like a credit card. They used to be stamps and you had to submit them to the clerk in the store, which was good because they’re was a stigma to them back then and it may have encouraged some people with a sense of self-pride to get off of them as soon as possible. Now, it’s just a plastic card like every other credit card, so there’s no more stigma attached to them anymore. That’s a shame.

I like the logic. Cancel the credit card and instead issue food boulders.
