There’s such an amount of implied or perceived shame attached to using these government safety nets in America. I’d be surprised if anyone who was benefiting from them worked in coal.

And that is by design. There is a reason why people get food stamps and not just 1000 dollars on their bank account.
I suppose you’re right. Now that you mention it, are food stamps similarly inflationary to having 1000 dollars deposited into their bank account?
I doubt they make any inflation in the sense "more dollars chasing fewer goods"
SNAP etc makes the base-load revenue of many rural grocery stores.
The food is going to be produced, and scale is better.
I work with disabled SNAP recipients and it's never been easy.
$1000 is um, high...
