    Once again, not how it works. They did not “choose” to discontinue. You don’t have to opt out, it’s not an active decision. Opting in is the active decision.

    Stay mad.

    Typical conservative projection. The rest of us don’t make decisions based on anger. I don’t think this is stupid because I’m mad, I’m not mad. I think it’s stupid because it is stupid.

    Why do you want to prevent people who can’t cook from having food? Why is this the issue you’re pushing? It sounds like you’re mad over sometime totally insignificant. It’s kinda pathetic, really. Unless your time is literally worthless, the time you’ve spent defending this would be with significantly more than your share of funding the RMP.

    That’s why I keep saying it’s performative. You don’t actually benefit at all. You’re just attacking poor people for the optics. Very pathetic.

      I’m not attacking anyone and I’m not mad. My state already keeps people on SNAP from buying McDonalds with their benefits, as do most states.

      But oh well, because this just came out: https://www.newsweek.com/snap-benefits-update-usda-completely-deconstruct-program-11071472

      Rollins said early data already showed that “186,000 dead people are receiving SNAP benefits,” while another 500,000 people are receiving the benefits in more than one state.

            You didn’t write it, but you are presenting it as evidence.

            I have a solution to make everyone happy. You send me the thousands of dollars my taxes provide for corporate subsides and inflated defense spending, and I’ll send you the $34 you contribute to SNAP. That way, you can be sure you aren’t funding disabled people eating cheeseburgers, and I can be sure I’m not funding yachts and genocides. Everyone wins.

              I’m not presenting it as evidence of anything. It a news article. I didn’t create it.

              Nothing at all is stopping you from donating your paycheck to everyone who uses SNAP and wants to buy McDonalds. You can totally help them with that.

              If you are unhappy your state doesn’t allow SNAP to be used for McDonalds, please write your representative.
