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...
