Free market at work. Those wealthy damn rural grocery stores with their 2 percent margins shouldn't be relying on government handouts anyway.

"Y'all are getting what you voted for."

Food deserts.

Food deserts are geographic areas, typically low-income, where residents have limited access to affordable and nutritious food options. These areas often lack supermarkets or grocery stores, forcing residents to rely on smaller stores with limited choices and higher prices, potentially leading to poor dietary habits and related health issues.

I don't have to shop at "grocery stores". So Trumpy won't affect me!

What's considered classy when you're rich but trashy when you're poor?

Getting money from the government.

Rich people getting billions in "subsidies" - yay!

Poor people getting a few dollars from "welfare" - boo!

Wait until Trumpers have to start paying for their parents and grandparents food... and having them move into the trailer house with them.

"Welp, doesn't affect me, I don't care.

I'm not poor, just stupid."

Doubt any would close down to SNAP cuts, and if any do close, then they have more serious problems then those cuts.

Abandoning people in need and letting them go hungry is what Jesus preached.

I doubt you'd lose your house if your income was cut, so let's just go ahead and cut it. If it makes you lose your house, that means you had more serious problems.

"Doubt any would close down to SNAP cuts"

You don't think corporations depend on corporate welfare?
Really, you opened your mouth to say that?
