      Wouldn’t that be fantastic. Make up my own mumbo jumbo Sovcit food stamps and then use them to buy their stuff.

      They either have to admit it’s bollocks or accept the stamps and effectively give me their stuff for nothing.

        Walk up to the counter with a 1099a and be like “here you go bud, it’s all there in the strawman account. Later.” and then walk out with what you took.

        Ah, but you see, they’re not a corporation, therefore they can’t access the mumbo jumbo account.

        You’d be shocked. There’s a “garage sale” down from where I grew up that’s been going on since the 80s and is run by one of those folks. He only takes cash (hell, he might take gold too for all I know).

        It’s literally like a single booth flea market and that guy hasn’t had another job in years.
