...”what is the next chess move?”
Next move, martial law?
I have never played chess, but know this much as an observer over the last 10 years. The DC politics are at the Shove stage. We have passed the nudge and push stage. The EBT thing was something my husband and I have talked about for last couple years as everyone who they could get on the system was being brought into the fold. Think about all the unemployed, disabled(rightful or scammers) who are on the system as well. All it takes is for them to get shut out for a month or less. Chaos ensues, and we the people who payed for this are all put under martial law.
Game,set,match.
