I'm not attacking anyone and I'm not mad. My state already keeps people on SNAP from buying McDonalds with their benefits, as do most states.

But oh well, because this just came out: https://www.newsweek.com/snap-benefits-update-usda-completely-deconstruct-program-11071472

Rollins said early data already showed that "186,000 dead people are receiving SNAP benefits," while another 500,000 people are receiving the benefits in more than one state.

I'm quoting from the article. I didn't create it. Be sure to write to the news orgs publishing the information if you think it's incorrect.

You didn't write it, but you are presenting it as evidence.

I have a solution to make everyone happy. You send me the thousands of dollars my taxes provide for corporate subsides and inflated defense spending, and I'll send you the $34 you contribute to SNAP. That way, you can be sure you aren't funding disabled people eating cheeseburgers, and I can be sure I'm not funding yachts and genocides. Everyone wins.

I'm not presenting it as evidence of anything. It a news article. I didn't create it.

Nothing at all is stopping you from donating your paycheck to everyone who uses SNAP and wants to buy McDonalds. You can totally help them with that.

If you are unhappy your state doesn't allow SNAP to be used for McDonalds, please write your representative.
