Galen Weston is eligible for it. Everyone else is just a link in the chain.

This is a direct wealth transfer from taxpayers to shareholders because government is too compromised and/or chickenshit to implement a tax policy that discourages profiteering.

Fair, but this isn't just free money for grocery stores -- it's no-strings-attached cash that will be spent where people most need it. Which, yes, will be groceries for a lot of people.

I don't like the handling of grocery gouging, but this specific rebate is not the problem.
