I completely agree with thanking all those deserving people for their hard work. That kind of stuff does go unnoticed and taken for granted.
I also like the idea of doing away (to some degree) with the zoning and all the red tape and BS that prevents people from just making a living doing what they do. Yes, let those people sell food on the roadside or from their house. Everyone should know it comes with a risk and buyer beware. Skip it if you're wary.
Now... about your point on the grocery stores jacking up the prices because of the excess EBT holders out there, I still say "hmmm" and I'm not so sure I'm sold on that theory. But I don't really know one way or another. You could be right but I would need some sort of minimal evidence to support this hypothesis to begin agreeing there. I tend to believe the higher prices are due to inflation, covid-year scare time, shipping and just plain greed "because they can". Price of living in aloha land maybe?
