This is old news, but with Costco studying the China market, there may be a twist.
Whatever, but USA sent $522 million last year to the Caribbean in Foreign aid. This goes to the Harvard educated elites to keep these satellites in poverty and dependent on USA. This EBT card scam also helps. USA food processors, the biggies, get the profits, the taxpayers take the loss, and the Islands never develop a domestic retail trade, nor do they bother to grow a domestic retail trade commensurate with their potential when they can get food "free" from the USA. The elites then compliment USA Imperialism by repeating the mantra "our people are culturally inferior." Break his legs then criticize him for not walking.
Costco is getting a handle on sales of its Kirkland brand to China. In doing so, Costco will figure out what percent is EBT-scam based (the amount of China sales that does not originate in China after it is easier to buy in China) and this will be private trade data, information no one in government policy making will have. Not that it would matter, since get big or get out, the USA policy imperative, either way General Foods, General Mills, and other Big Food companies products are being moved and taxpayers are subsidizing their profits.
WE are not going to get rid of the EBT cards, or the welfare state, these things cannot be backed away from. Empires just fall and become fond memories and whimsical lapdogs to the next empire, like the UK. Not bad, but delusional. Or they may become somewhat dignified like Italy.
It ain't the hand you are dealt, it's how you play the cards... and there is no judging a man for how he plays his cards. But we can say, "hmmm... instead of buying Fritos and Pepsi and Kentucky Fried Chicken (yes allowed) with your EBT, why not buy Foie de gras, raw milk sour cream, organic lemons, caviar, all products no Big Ag makes, only small AG products, and then improve your health as you starve the beast?" This will divert money meant for big ag to the struggling small ag that is specifically targeted for avowed destruction by the USDA in particular and the federal government in general.
Smile at that single mom with the screaming kid checking out in your upscale grocery paying for excellent foods with an EBT, and offer to help her with her groceries. Make them most welcome, they would be revolutionaries.

“Everybody does it,” said a worker at an Associated Supermarket in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. “They pay for it any way they can. A lot of people pay with EBT.”All immigrant groups rock the welfare payments (you think they come here because of our freedom?) There may have been a time pre-1964 "Great Society" welfare regimes when people came here to work and look for freedom, but now we cannot know if it is 'freedom" or "Free $#)*."
Customers pay cash for the barrels, usually about $40, and typically ship them filled with $500 to $2,000 worth of rice, beans, pasta, canned milk and sausages.
Workers at the Pioneer Supermarket on Parkside Avenue and the Key Food on Flatbush Avenue confirmed the practice.
They said food-stamp recipients typically take home their barrels and fill them gradually over time with food bought with EBT cards.
When the tubs are full, the welfare users call a shipping company to pick them up and send them to the Caribbean for about $70. The shipments take about three weeks.
