    I guess I’m the designated article-reader today. TL;DR: Businesses need government approval to process EBT payments for the SNAP program. The regime is strictly interpreting a regulation that’s intended to prevent price-gouging SNAP recipients to inflict maximum cruelty by preventing discounts instead. It could enforce the rule by revoking a store’s SNAP-EBT approval.
