The Food Stamp Labyrinth
I would like to relate my experience of going on the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP. This is a federal program that is still colloquially referred to as “food stamps,” though technically this is incorrect. While the ability to buy food used to be administered via stamps that could be exchanged for food, they migrated more recently to a credit card-like system: the bearer is given a card that has a balance on it. The money on the card can be swiped like a credit card at the supermarket, but it can only pay for food.
AFAQ
Playing Devil’s Advocate with myself, I thought I’d write up a list of anticipated frequently asked questions (AFAQ) regarding The Adventure. I have gleaned the essence of some of these possible critiques from other websites, where many enterprising individuals who have similar stated goals of homelessness have faced berating from others online. I hope to address any of these potential concerns thoroughly, as I assure you that I have thought this out well beyond the point of naïveté.
