#1 For those readers unfamiliar with the scheme...
SNAP (and other programs) recipients use their benefit coupons in exchange or as payment for groceries. The groceries are then brokered for cash to local (mini-mart or bodega) merchants at discounted prices. The items are then sold at high market value*.

SNAP associated families may also own and operate said markets. So employees are paid very little.

*Milk, eggs and bread are always high priced at a gas station.

#2 it will only make you angrier

Nope. Asymptotically closer to overt rage, maybe.

An angry old man of Antares,
Alone on his lawn with his queries,
Is a long way from home
In a leaky old dome
And his love for Antareans... varies.

#3 Lots of bad guy organizations use SNAP benefits, cigarette sales, credit card fraud, and so forth to finance their nefarious schemes. This is why the Democrats do not chase down the fraud in most cases, and why President Trump needs to.
