Yeah, I assume trying to convince people to change will run into roadblocks. Of course the solution seems like the same as getting publicly funded healthcare in the US -- raise taxes by an amount that offsets the benefit, people with higher pay take a small loss while people who are unemployed or low income get stable help buying food. Definitely not recommending fighting over that given the stakes, I assume unemployed people get reasonably generous government funded assistance with paying for food? As long as that's the case it just seems... odd... but not that strange, my partner works for GrubHub and gets a weekly benefit to subsidize personal meals. But the US has a totally different attitude about how employers should support employees so it doesn't really stand out here at all.
