would you rather they just go to malama market and steal it?
-------------
That isn't the point and you know it. There is a vast entitlement mentality here. There is also a vast amount of fraud in the system. Sit outside Malama or Island Naturals and ask people if they want to sell any of their benefits off the EBT card. Going rate is 40-50% on the dollar. You get $100 of EBT and you pay them $40-$50 in cash. You get a nice discount on your purchase and they get cash to buy alcohol/drugs/cigarettes.
