We see something similar in the UK.
Most benefits go to people IN WORK.
Because there are not enough properly paid jobs.
Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.
Welfare was not meant to support employers.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.
