I like this proposition that stemmed from Lucie's idea, but there are obvious issues with it.
They can't just build these EBT stores on every corner, and if they only built 1 store in every X amount of miles per capita or something like that, there would still be plenty of people that have to travel very far to get to one of their designated stores.
I think the easiest solution would just be for them to cut down on what's actually approved for the damn cards to begin with. It would eliminate people complaining about them eating expensive, unnecessary junk while not making them drive across the state to go to a specifically designed shopping center. I don't know why so many things are approved for this to begin with.
