How long until someone runs on the platform of #FoodStampsForAll ? If healthcare is a right, is food as well?

There's a food surplus thanks to capitalism, and it doesn't get shipped fast enough to avoid expiration because global supply chain and logistics technology are still undergoing innovations due to how quickly society has developed.

Under communism, everyone starves once the rationing system inevitably fails.

I'm not against it in principle since we do waste a shit ton of food.

But I'm skeptical about how well a program could be implemented without completely fucking over farmers and other food producers.

I realize the mechanics of it are vastly complicated and difficult.

But the fact that Congresspeople are basically talking like it's immoral is so telling.

that's where it screws them.

What are the current qualifications for food stamps as it stands today?

I know people who have applied and have it. Do people get turned down?

Thank you :)

All right just briefly went over that. Seems relatively fair???

Unless Im missing something? Seems like every family that makes below the poverty line gets something, and even childless adults have a few months to it until they find a job.

Illegal aliens not allowed to qualify for the program.

Edit: not to say the guy who made that tweet isnt an idiot lol

Yeah, it's a very fair program with low abuse rates on a per-dollar basis.
