Reminder that the Big Beautiful Bill made significant changes to SNAP, almost all aimed at men 50-65 who don't have children at home. Men in that age band should be at their peak taxpaying. Many have been divorce raped, have adult children that were turned against them by their mothers (or no children at all), and have been brow beaten out of their profession by HR karens and swams of immigrants turning everything into ethnic hives. So those men have started checking out.
This angers the establishment. Those men are relied on to run businesses and pay taxes. They meant to keep things running competently. The many roadblocks that have been put in front of them simply don't factor into this demand for them the maintain the burden of responsibility for keeping society going.
That they've reduced themselves into a lower energy level where they're buying very little and making very little for the government and society to "reallocate" is seen as an existential threat. It's also why Eglin is working overtime with the food stamp threads, trying to convince everyone it's about 19 year old black girls selling their EBT cards for crack and not about trying to stave late middle age men back onto the plantation.
