Is it as much of a dystopian nightmare as, say, having no food at all?

- anm89 7y agoWe already have soup kitchens in America. We have solutions of last resort regarding hunger. So this is a total strawman. Yes. Having every man, woman and child line up for government potatoes, government bread, and government cheese at some government office is unequivocally a dystopian nightmare.
- Nuzzerino 7y agoSaying that "every man, woman and child" would be lining up is a straw man also. "Every man, woman and child" does not currently line up at soup kitchens. There's also no reason that distribution has to work that way. How about an EBT card mailed to every home, which can be used for potatoes, cheese, and bread at any grocery store?
- MisterBastahrd 7y agoHow about an EBT card gets mailed to them and we don't shame them for being poor?

It's also a strawman because not everyone would be lining up for potatoes in this instance, presumably some people can afford to eat in this free suds world. Maybe we'll even have a post-potato society eventually, when everyone decides they hate potatoes after they all get jobs (probably not).
