    You cannot use SNAP for bus fare. You also cannot get delivery using SNAP

    This is a good argument for giving people money, not food stamps.

    You’re asking people, in America a supposedly developed nation, to do the same things people in developing nations have to do to get food.

    I don’t get this revulsion to walking. Most people walk every day for commutes, food, and errands. Walking does not mean your life is irredeemably terrible. In fact, data shows you will live longer and be happier. Ditto for cycling.

    You live in a little town far away from civilisation. I think it’s unreasonable to expect city amenities in such places. There’s no logistical way to get supermarkets close to every home. Not when people have built homes so far away from everyone else.
