        Why do you only get 290$ for 3 people? I thought that was the amount for one person.

            Interesting, I wuold suggest talking to someone because you should be getting more than that in a 3 person household.

            I speak from the perspective of someone who used to live in the hood where every month when food stamps were distributed, there were guys who would buy them for cash on the street corner. Pretty much everyone around me had food stamps and would find ways to make money off of them. Maybe California is different but on the east coast there is a food bank in every town pretty much.

      In the US, more than one in ten are food insecure.

      Our systems not only fail on their merits, but also, the systems that attempt to mitigate the harm from such failures are also faillures.
