8. 42 million about to die of "temporary" denial of food

Damn the 'rationale', people will starve, children will starve 'temporarily' except the deaths and deprivation will be permanent. So will the hate this ruling generates, so will the disrespect and historical degradation of the reputation of the (not so much) Supreme Court.

The average dollars$$$ received by a SNAP recipient is less than $170.00 a month... let me repeat that less than 170.00 a month and now they want to give maybe 65% of that which means a recipient they receive $110.00... wanna live on $110.00 of groceries a month?

That is $27.50 a week. So called government "aid". That is a lot of gruel and turnip soup, if you are lucky to have your Social Security, Walmart greeter wages, minimum wage job and Food Bank or dumpster diving lets you keep you housing.

I'm old enough to remember when we laughed at Russian solders were stealing toilets from Ukrainian families because they didn't have them in their own homes. Not the plumbing, which they did not understand, just the toilets so they no longer had do squat to take shit.
