While it looks like you may truly have good intentions in starting this thread and I was about to reply and add a few things I'm thankful for like my loved ones and it having stopped flash flooding, I noticed a point or two that seemed a tad condescending (in my perception.)
"The people that pay the inflated grocery prices at the grocery store thanks to all the EBT and WIC."
While there are many that abuse the system, there are also many that seem to just have no other way.
There are those who are sick, disabled, elderly and more that rely on EBT to survive. They might feel slighted by that point.
And are those inflated prices solely or even largely the result of, or as you said "thanks to all the EBT"? If you could change the local government, what would you suggest as a better method to deal with the financial problems of the type people I listed as opposed to relying on EBT so that the prices in the grocery stores would be less inflated?
