That will decrease the surplus population and only allow people who pay taxes to eat food. With only working people eating, tax revenues will increase and Trump will eliminate SNAP and whatever remaining welfare leeches still existing will die and decrease the cost of health care.

This will make America great again.

Does this mean that tRump won't be allowed to eat food?

Maybe Trump needs to think about the actual effect of his plan a little more... :D

Trump thinks about his plans about the same way someone who lives in Waukesha or Pewaukee (WI) thought about the riots last weekend in north Milwaukee.  It's not in my backyard; I'm far enough away from it that it doesn't affect me; so I'll just fuhgeddaboudit.

I don't know about that, but apparently he thinks he should be stripped of his citizenship and deported:
we should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people.

When there is a supermarket in a poor area, the prices are higher than in the more affluent areas.
Same goes for the bodega type stores and produce markets.
Lack of competition?
operating expences?
Becuase they can?
Land costs more.
Taxes are higher.
High "shrinkage".
Difficult (ie, more expensive) access for deliveries.
Insurance probably costs more.

I've seen thier trucks around the area.
Many supermarkets are doing that now, including Giant (same owner as S&S).

(And before you go all liberal over me, my daughter is a beneficiary of the food stamp - not that it's stamps or coupons any more - program)
Do you have any evidence at all that people on food stamps buy more junk food than the population as a whole? Or is that just what pleases you to say about them?
And I didn't write that. I wrote that people who go to those convenience stores that don't have fresh fruit and veg are more likely to buy DingDongs and so on anyway; poor nutritional value "foods". Food stamps fund those selections. That is precisely what the OP was saying; it's precisely what the linked video (which was very well done) points out. And I have the living example of my own daughter who never met a junk food she didn't like. I further made it clear that people not on food stamps show the same preferences.

It's that reading incomprehension thing of yours again, isn't it?

[Sue, I misunderstood your line about supermarkets not catering to poor people - you were referring to location rather than to not accepting food aid vouchers etc].

The location thing was a concern of the Black Panthers lo these many years ago. Locally sourced businesses providing the entire range of services were very important goals. But it doesn't happen. Unfortunately, it seems that putting a supermarket in impoverished areas does not seem to work. But why not? Having them robbed and burned down might be something to do with it although the economic imperative must also be involved for the established chains.

Is it really necessary to force Kim's Korean Kwik store to carry lettuce and carrots? Is it really a viable solution to the problem or should answers be more radical?

So I have shamed you into repudiating what you actually wrote into pretending you wrote something different? Progress, good. Better if you admitted the truth.

Yes it clearly is, and rube apparently isn't done digging...

Let me make yet another attempt to educate the willfully ignorant who won't trouble themselves to read and try to understand:

What Meade said:
No, their customers are more likely to buy DingDongs, doughnuts and drek. For which the US taxpayers pay. "Food" stamps - emphasis on "food" not trailer-trash staples
Rubes' reading comprehension challenged misinterpretation:
Do you have any evidence at all that people on food stamps buy more junk food than the population as a whole?
Which is of course not remotely something that Meade ever asserted...

He's pointing out that "their customers" (ie, people shopping at a 7-11 or a Quik Mart) are more likely to purchase low nutrition value "junk food" (I know I certainly do when I shop in one) and then points out (accurately) that a person doing so with food stamps is having the US taxpayer pay for it. (Whether they have other practical options available to them as places to shop is another issue.)

Emphasis added for the terminally stupid. The Maj Genl and LJ are such serial liars that It cannot even be interesting to point it out by now.

I'm sure you must have needed the emphasis. You shame nothing but yourself.
Her customers aren’t likely to buy kale, duck or lamb, she said, so such products “will just spoil on the shelves.”
No, their customers are more likely to buy DingDongs, doughnuts and drek.
The store owning lading was referring to "her customers". Not "food stamp" customers but "her customers".

I responded that "their customers" are indeed more likely to buy Dingdongs, etc. In the case of those on food stamps, the taxpayer is paying for that kind of cheap rubbish "food".

This was made clearer in the second post stating:
Mind you, they probably all eat dingdongs, doughnuts and drek by preference too :lol:

Even so, those local "convenience" stores provide staples even if those are in cans and the freezer - it would be a hardship for them to offer fresh veg in any meaningful quantity. No one would buy them anyway - because they don't want to - and as the capitalist pig store owners aver, "It would just all go bad"
It's true that I didn't read the OP article as carefully as I should have. I missed (first time) that the particular stores being named do in fact have fruit and vegetables. The objection is to the proposed new number of particular items that must be carried. An unwarranted government intrusion, in my view.

Had I read more carefully, I probably would have posted about the intrusion rather than a cheap shot.
