> Food stamps though, that's not cool. Why?

• wkat4242 2y ago
  I view that as something that's really for people who can't take care of their basic nutritional needs. That's not normal in a civilised society. After all, food is cheap. We subsidise and socialise healthcare because the cost between people can vary extremely (it can cost between nothing and millions per year!) and it's a basic need. Food is not like that, basic food needs cost roughly the same for everyone. Of course there's $1000 a plate restaurants but those are not a basic need, you can get just as much nutrition for $5. Someone who has a job should be able to cover food and housing. Otherwise society is severely broken.
