EBTcoin is the answer to that question
I think this a great idea. I also have a similar idea, can't say it here because it's my baby project but
I think a coin should almost be created just for this purpose.
Need help let me know.
EBTcoin?
BTC price volatility will act as a deterrent to such implementation at this point in time. Also, the gov wants people using food stamps for food only. Recipients of BTC as a means of a "food stamp" will be able to easily sell their btc for cash. A colored btc may be able to solve that though..
that occurred when it was paper and coins, that occurs now with the plastic card, and will occur regardless of the medium of exchange.
The best solution is to employ everyone.
...Food Stamps is not donated by any stretch of the imagination - it is coerced from the productive workers and businesses under threat of force (fines, imprisonment, all all that sort of violent stuff). Resist and they come looking for you, resist more and they will kill you...
You've got it twisted, if employers paid their workers a living wage there would be no need for foodstamps.
Aren't Foodstamps for the unemployed, or is it for people on low income, or both?
They're for both as far as I know, McDonald's employees in the US working full time still have to use foodstamps just to feed their families. So basically the government is subsidising the poverty wages of greedy corporations.
Corporations are paying more than their fair share to feed, cloth, and shelter the indigent.
The fast food industry is the employment gateway for millions of US resident, now that so many "educated" and highly skilled people are out of work, the FF industry has more choices which often means the less educated and skilled workforce has less opportunities. Not that they can't do the job, but that the job isn't there for them to do.
Every FF corp that exists has a charity arm that supports those who are less fortunate in some way -- they give back.
