Its concerning that any elected officials don't know that a fundamental aspect of EBT food stamps is you can't buy hot food with it... Out of touch indeed.

It's probably been a long time since Mayor Adams personally last qualified for a food assistance program. Possibly long enough that they were still using paper vouchers that either had looser rules or whose restrictions were harder to enforce. Most people don't keep track of the changes if they don't need to... though since his election he should really have gotten himself up to speed on things like this which affect so many of the people and businesses under his office's purview. My understanding of why hot food is prohibited on EBT is that you're paying for the cooking instead of doing the cooking yourself. In theory the exclusion should be the same for *any* made-to-order or buffet items, but legislators tend to have weird sideways and backdoor ways of defining things that either disguise or distort their intentions (or those their colleagues across the aisle), adding loopholes that shouldn't be there for exploitation while closing out things that common sense would expect to be allowed. Heck, I've seen EBT use at the grocery store disqualify a jar of peanut butter because the jar was under a certain minimum size. (I get *why* that minimum is in place; unit pricing is higher on smaller packaging because logistics plus profiteering, and the regulators want cost efficiency. Doesn't mean it doesn't cause tons of confusion and, worse, complications at the register. And for some reason just removing the disqualified items from the order and replacing them with the correct sizes wasn't an option; the cashier had to literally remove every single item from the order individually and refund the entire transaction and start over.)

@davidgoldstein729

@@vonettaspencer2904 the mindset is a confusing one. On the one hand, EBT is supposed to specifically provide subsistence support, requiring the recipient to do the work of food prep... which would apply to the salad as well as the soup. In practice, salad is *much* more work intensive than many soups... and someone working more than 40 hours a week across two jobs just to meet rent and utilities and commuting costs without any leftover for food doesn't have time for food prep. It's still an odd way to define a difference between "grocery" and "restaurant", especially at places that function in aspects of both, like delis and many cafeterias and some bodegas. (Also, school cafeterias should be an exception to the no-prepared-food restriction, especially if they have discounts for financially-insecure students.)

As someone who grew up with EBT, I appreciate this interview. That’s insane that he didn’t realize you couldn’t buy hot food. I remember when it was just my mom and I, and I was too young to work and she was struggling hella and they cut our food stamps to like $7 a month. Our government really doesn’t care about those truly struggling.

Prayers back in the schools?! Separation between church and state, and schools are government entities. NYC is so diverse that it doesn't make sense at all - plenty of people are either agnostic, atheist, or practicing other religions. If anyone wants their children to pray in school, they can go to a religious school.

I think kids should be allowed to organize themselves into prayer groups without hindrance from the school, but it doesn't need to be sanctioned by the school system. I'm a Christian and believe in freedom of religion. If I were Muslim or Jewish, I wouldn't want a school sanctioned prayer in the name of Jesus. As a Christian, I wouldn't want to participate in a Hindu prayer or meditation. It should be left to the kids to decide for themselves. And they should be taught to respect others' beliefs.

@@flutaphonejohnson, I agree, although Adams was distinguishing "spirituality" from "mythology" here. Proponents of school prayer see "spirituality" as an essential aspect of the human condition, common to people of diverse religious persuasions, independent of the particular "mythology" in each case. By exploring and comparing their spiritual experiences, often thru group prayer, the students come to be more in touch with an important element of our culture. Opponents of school prayer point out that (1) spirituality is by no means a universal part of human experience, and (2) for those who do feel a strong spiritual drive, it's generally inextricable from their mythological beliefs, and therefore impossible to discuss in a neutral school setting. There is a time and place for everything, and the school days is not the time or place for prayer. Adams' own argument in favor of school prayer--- that it will reduce school shootings--- is, I assume, just a fanciful turn of speech, not to be taken literally; that said, it does reveal his attitudes, and they are concerning.
Hot food for EBT! I had food stamps for some months while I was very sick. I wish I could have bought a roasted chicken or hot soup on the days it was hard to get out of bed.

I think we should all have tempered expectations. The segment is a new, original interview segment. At the same time, I think the act helps to soften the mayor up. I wish he managed to hide more real questions into the act. In similar acts when the interviewer plays a character like Borat, sometimes the character can get the interveiwee to be open in ways a regular interviewer cannot. To that point, this was a missed opportunity because that didn't really happen.
