The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"If you are going to play those games, then from those alleged SNAP "benefits" you wish to conjure up, you then have to substract the huge cost to society and the economy of all the SNAP kids who grow up to be drug dealers, murderers, muggers, and felons. That would include the imputed and actual cost of all the damage they cause to the rest of society." - Marco the Clown

So Marco is admitting kids die if they don't get SNAP, and that without SNao all the criminals would die, i.e., not grow up?

Hmmm- sift

The program known today as SNAP began with a pilot program launched in May 1939 during the Great Depression. This early version ended in 1943 but was revived as a pilot program in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. The program then became permanent with the passage of the Food Stamp Act of 1964.

No correlation that I can see.
