    I hear ya, you’re basically right.

    My thought process is more like people with a food stamp card will still have the card, but it’ll be useless without being reloaded with benefits funds.

    Note that for once the orange shitstain actually did something to help in the meantime, not long after I made that meme, Turnip announced he’s approving the use of emergency funds around $5 billion for SNAP recipients, which is around half of what typically goes out to people, but hey it’s something at least, for now…

    He probably only did that because even in his demented cranium, he’s gotta understand that his ratings will plummet through the floor if he doesn’t do something quick so even the poor and low income families can have a decent meal for Thanksgiving.

    I dunno, I haven’t had food stamps in over 5 years. It’s hardly worth the waste of my time to only qualify for a lousy $27 a month, it costs more than that in gas to get back and forth to their office to comply with their work program requirements.

    Edit: Update, I guess the orange turnip changed his mind… 🤷
