Ya know… There were coupon books instead of stamps, for like 30 years, and there’s adults now that have no clue what even the coupons looked like…
Do we really need the (food stamp) clarification still? I go back far enough to have seen the actual fucking stamps, and nothing about the term SNAP is in any way confusing to me personally… Who the hell are we still qualifying the term for?!?
I mean, I don’t think the term SNAP is confusing. But if you’ve never used it, or don’t know anyone that used it, it’s worth defining for those people.
In the same way that there might be people who don’t know that the ACA = Obamacare, there might be people who don’t know that SNAP = food stamps. More and/or complete information isn’t a bad thing.
I am 100% one of the people you speak of… The last time I witnessed a transaction involving nutrition assistance, it was food stamps. The actual do not fold or spindle coupons…
The whole point of EBT was to make it invisible… You could buy $1k worth of crap at Costco wit your “food stamps” and I’d have absolutely no clue you’d done that. It doesn’t look different anymore, you don’t see it, there’s no monopoly money being used, and the last time I had anything to do with the program personally, it was monopoly money… You know?
I’m the guy you’re suggesting might not know… The quintessential textbook example of this person you claim needs the qualifier… And I say all of that to simply say that it’s silly AF…
I suspect there is a certain portion of the population that doesn’t want the stigma to disappear, but that’s purely conjecture on my part ;)
Aspartame is shit. It tastes like shit and it’s dangerous. I have an aspartame story but it’s gonna draw the astroturfers and coporate cucks, so just refer back to my first two statements here.
If we’re going to be a Nation governed by the Bible doesn’t that mean we have to listen to the Pope? Or do we pick and choose which parts of our religion we follow and kill the people who follow the Pope who sings the Word of God?
In some places people will give a falsified statement for a cigarette and a Twix. Cops know this, too. Just to give a little context as to why this is actually a potentially good thing
EBT can be spent on almost anything, so there’s no guarantee this isn’t just buying your sidechick a steak.
The grocery store is, just like everything else in the US, a fucking scam. Most of the items aren’t nutritious at all, repackaging salt, sugar, and corn into a thousand shapes and flavors. It tastes good, so people buy it because they’re fucking stupid, and the ones that aren’t were taught a fucked food pyramid that prioritized protein and carbs because of corruption.
We’re fucked lads. The kids are double fucked and don’t have any idea.
