[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cruelty is the point with these monsters.

Despite illegally refusing to fund SNAP, the Trump administration is doing "essential" work preventing business from offering their own SNAP replacement.

The info at the link above was published in February 2024 seeking comments on a proposed streamlined waiver process that would make it easier for retailers to provide SNAP incentives to choose healthier foods.

They are absolutely cruel monsters, but the conclusion you drew from reading the first paragraph at that link was wrong and you used it to spin everyone up. Lying and misleading doesn’t help at all.[/quote]

Sorry, The Hill didn't cite its source properly.

The 2024 policy document is from when SNAP was funded.

Here's a article with an image of Trump USDA's notice from this week, enforcing the rule for SNAP "beneficiaries",  while ILLEGALLY NOT PAYING BENEFITS.

The article says:
"After several food delivery apps and grocery store chains sought to offer discounts to those whose SNAP benefits were interrupted or delayed, the Department of Agriculture sent an email to stores across the country warning them that [b]they weren’t allowed to offer discounts to people hurt by the cuts to the food stamp program[/b]."

That's simply is not true as written. Stores can help whoever they want if those people are not using the SNAP card. I hope stores are getting better information than what the government is emailing them.[/quote]
