Some of this comes from playtesting. Game designers get to really isolate where people tend to be stupid. The practice reveals a vast treacherous landscape of stupidity.

just a reminder that SNAP is quite literally the least fraudulent program the government has, fraud is like... less than 3% of SNAP?

It'll cost up to $300 million.
