The idiots in the white hut think we are all a nation of eight year olds.

They will mandate the system as a condition of being allowed to participate in the SNAP program. No talking carts = no EBT customers.

Then the government will get upset when supermarkets use that as an excuse to stop accepting EBT.

If they mandate it then the purpose is to drive them out of business, unless they subsidize the cost.

I think ADM, would prefer to have corporate stores toe the line, and for independents to close up shop.

Guys! This has nothing to do with EBT cards. Remember this is an Obama talking.

These carts are for EVERYONE. We all will have a cart lecture us on what to buy. Obamas lie all the time. This is another control on free people.

You will probably have to swipe your card in the cart just to get the wheels to roll. Every purchase you make will go in a govt database. The cart will scan each item before you even get to a cashier.

Buy junk food for a party and you may have a cop visit your home.

I would welcome that. Have government groceries for welfare recipients, which will be stocked ONLY with "Moochelle-certified" healthy food, which would be the ONLY places where welfare recipients could get food.

That would be racist. Better to force all to accept the EBTs and to adhere to Mooch’s dietary guidelines.

And if they don’t, so sad, bye bye, you’re out of business. Government can dictate buying decisions now, you know. The Supremes said so.

They will be heavily subsidized stores and you can bet they’ll lose a bundle every day
