At most drug busts around here, they find not only cash but stacks of EBT cards. Maybe the dealer sells them to people at a discount who actually want to buy food? You'd have to ask a dealer, but it is one of the reasons we tried to put photos on EBT cards.I don't think it's a bad idea to hand out food rather than food/credit. There is a lot of fraud with food stamps. People sell them or swap them for drugs. It would be better to include fresh foods, too. A lot of our food pantries are doing that now.So Trump, the ultimate businessman & business expert, will cut the amount of money recipients will get & replace that lost money with actual meals delivered to these people.
Modeled after "Blue Apron" where you order a meal & they send you all the ingredients.
Canned meat, canned vegetables - all healthy. Shelf ready milk.
Local grocers are fucked. Local dairy is fucked. Small business people are fucked.
Who will lose? The kids forced to eat crap in a can.
How does the swap of "food stamps" for drugs work?
You don't have a stamp which is an equivalent to currency
You have an EBT card that you use at checkout. Does the guy dealing drugs go through the supermarket checkout with you?
Thanks
I thought an EBT card was like a credit card with your name on it
In NY, it is. I don’t know how it could be traded for anything. Unless you’re willing to give up all of the benefits associated with that card for cash or drugs.
