USDA announces SNAP benefits will not be issued in November

Taking money from the farmers doesn't make food cheaper, dumbass. It'll get more expensive. And now that no one can get SNAP subsidies, getting fresh food will be harder, not just from lack of affordability, but if no one is buying the expensive produce, farmers won't waste resources growing them.
What scarcity of food is there in America? We throw away 133 billion pounds of food each year. The food gets wasted because American farmers throw away food that is still good to eat because misshapen or miscolored food don't sell as well to consumers here. The only scarcity exists because the system we create punishes farmers for not being profitable before injecting more cash into them to make up for it. Taking away the cash doesn't fix their unprofitability.
