The Luxury Car in the SNAP Line

I don’t like judging people by appearances, but it’s hard not to pause when someone parks a luxury car and pays for steak and seafood with SNAP. Behind him stood an elderly man counting every dollar on his card, choosing only frozen basics. Maybe the car is leased. Maybe life isn’t as good as it looks. Still, SNAP was meant for basic survival, not premium choices. The contrast alone sparks resentment. #SNAPDebate #PublicPerception #WelfareTension #EconomicDivide
