I'm perfectly happy for a government food program to give people food. Much less so for giving people money during an incredibly inflationary period. You still end up with people not having food, but also not having gas, rent or health money either.

A- Can I pay my landlord with a box of apples?

B - How does your second point about 'people end up without food if you give them money' work?

Either government or people buy the same food, either there is enough food or isn't.

C - If the government has made it illegal for me to work, why should I eat the loss but banks and landlords shoups never loose money? We are told they are earning their interest and rent because they are taking the risk, but when the time comes, the risk is always passed on to someone else.

That you can't even imagine a government owned integrated vertical food system not run for profit is extremely sad, but completely expected given that you speak English.

However in this case I was making a point about the stuation we were already in when covid hit.
