  Legit, this goes beyond not caring about poor people’s well being.  This is actively malicious.  Banning foodstuffs like white rice and beans—food meant to last longer and be more nutritious on average—is a signal that these lawmakers actively want to make poor ppl starve.  I would not be surprised if they’re getting excited over the idea of ppl dying over this.
context: "The proposed bill would prevent recipients from being able to purchase everyday kitchen staples including white rice, rice noodles, canned vegetables, baked beans, refried beans, chili beans and even butter."
  What in the world? How does any of this make sense at all?
