The hotel I’m randomly staying at happens to have a quantum computing conference going on, and has a model quantum computer in the lobby

Ok, I bought a 4-pack of these. Not just because of the unique story, but because they're actually the only smart bulbs I could find that are small enough for one of my fixtures.
My light bulbs now each have a web management interface, and debug logs.

Most states follow the federal income qualifications for SNAP
There are some differences between stats - eg some states won’t allow you if you have over $5000 in assets. Good luck keeping your car so you can go to a job.

Republicans love to claim people on SNAP are buying tons of soda and chips and other junk food
The evidence is that it’s not true
Their spending is pretty similar to average households, although less on fruits and vegetables because they can’t easily afford them

Minorities are overrepresented, but not that much
40% of SNAP recipients are non-Hispanic white compared to 59% of Americans overall

The share of government spending on SNAP is growing significantly as more people sign up and benefits increase. It’s still a relatively small fraction of the budget overall.

While the rules around SNAP are almost the same in every state, the states vary dramatically in how easy it is to sign up. One way of looking at that is the number of pages in the application which varies from 2 to 21. It doesn’t really follow red/blue lines.

SNAP participation grew substantially during the pandemic, and hasn’t yet declined to pre-pandemic levels.

Those who don’t work mostly are disabled or are taking care of someone else.
The caretaking responsibilities part is particularly important because it’s way cheaper to spend $200/month feeding someone so they can take care of a family member than for society to actually pay someone to do it.

Most people who aren’t children or elderly and are on SNAP do have jobs. Nearly all are in a household where at least one person has a job.

Some facts about SNAP:
SNAP is not adjusted for inflation. Instead it’s based on the prices of a specific basket of goods. One of the better things Biden did was revise the basket of goods to be slightly more realistic- but I’d guess it’s still pretty far off from how nearly everyone eats.
