Are there federal bodies or third parties that can assist in these measures? Just because the state is fucked and run by terrorists, shouldn’t mean that someone can’t step up and help. I knows it’s not that easy geographically, but every little bit helps.
If you read the article it has nothing to do with “the state being run by terrorists” - it’s that they don’t have the infrastructure and data collection necessary to do it. They have pledged that they will focus on getting it implemented so they can do it.
McGowin pledged that going forward the state will “focus on implementing the system changes necessary to facilitate participation in summer EBT programs in future years.”
But for Missouri to participate in next year’s program, “the state’s data collection systems need to be addressed well in advance,” McGowin said.
“The current P-EBT programs have required data to be collected from schools that DESE does not normally collect,” she said. “We must then address how the data can be most efficiently and effectively shared with DSS, and shared in a way that more seamlessly integrates with DSS’ benefit administration systems.”
Woody said the state’s pledge to make changes to better operate the program in future years is “the only bright spot.”
Maybe the federal government should be the ones building these data collection services so that the states simply have to opt-in and use the government created facilities?

Republicans and the right wing in general are happiest when they can cause others to suffer.
I suspect it’s about killing off the undesirables and forcing the remainder to work.
Let’s not forget priming a number of the remaining for inflating the prison population.
… which is the same as “forcing the remainder to work” come to think.
They’re probably running numbers for potential prisoners, profits and bribes as we speak.
That’s because nobody wants to work in administration for less than $25 per hour which the state can’t pay without raising ever bodies taxes that no one wants to pay!
