Yep, that’s what an MBA would decide, so that’s likely what’s going to happen.
That’s why I said in my second line:
It won’t be done properly. It never is when left to the corporations.
But yet you STILL opened your reply with a flat ‘no’, proving you only ever bothered to read a single sentence of my reply so I’m downvoting you, blocking you, and forgetting you ever existed.
Well since the government has all the info and has the postal service to get stuff to the people in need, why not just send this people some sort of stamps for free that lets them buy food, lets call it food stamps or something.
Jk, that would never work, let’s give all that sensitive data to some company that will definitely not leak, sell it or use it for some nefarious thing, because it will use AI.
I guess food stamps kind of do this but they are so hard to actually be granted. We need something automatic that is specifically geared to solving food insecurity for the most needy.

No, the existing “base line” price will stay as is for the poors. Those with slightly more money however…those will pay more.

I don’t think their “No” was a disagreement, but a confirmation of your second line. https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/88502/how-to-agree-with-a-negative-statement-with-yes-or-with-no Sometimes, language can be a tricky tool to wield.
And you can have a block as well! I’m so glad they’re free.
I’d like to order one block please.
One steaming hot block coming right up!
Well after reading this thread, you can have one yourself.

No, you just hate your life. This thread isn’t about you, so shut the hell up. No one cares.
We could wipe out food insecurity by just doing taxes properly. We shouldn’t tolerate for-profit businesses doing what the government should be doing.
And politicians who work to privatise public services should be sent straight to the gallows for the traitors they are.

What you’re describing is a more socialist/communist view on means based price adjustment.
This is real-time price gouging, which is good old-fashioned capitalism.
Looing forward to WIC and SNAP benefits being erased by price gouging on the needy.
Yea, as a sort of reverse tax credit, it would be interesting. But as a profit driver, it’s nice and dystopian.
