The Supreme Court on Monday dealt a blow to advocates of greater access to public information, ruling in a 6-3 decision that the government does not have to turn over private food stamp data it obtained from grocery stores to a South Dakota newspaper.
The paper argued that it's in the public's interest to know how government spends tax dollars. But the retailers, represented by the industry group Food Marketing Institute, objected to release of the information, which it calls"confidential" and only shares with USDA under an expectation of privacy.
Lower courts have interpreted the the statute as also requiring an objector to show"competitive harm" with the release and ruled in favor of the paper.
This shows you how far the arms of ' industry group Food Marketing Institute' reach. This is only one of many corporations who will get a 'win' in the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a continuation of a Trump national take over. Make information unavailable to citizens.

So...a newspaper sued the government to find out whether or not food stamp recipients eat steak/lobster rather than spam? Thank you SCOTUS
If people want to know who benefits from SNAP, I can assure you it's the giant grocery chains, agribusiness and their shareholders A couple hundred bucks a month puts food on a family's table Multiply it by millions and it's Wall Street getting rich
Isn’t it kind of creepy and weird that they want that type information to begin with?

Bolsonaro’s Conservative Agenda Is Tested in Brazilian Supreme CourtWhen Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro took office in January, he promised to defend what he calls traditional-family values, loosen gun laws and push the nation to the right after decades of mostly leftist rule. But six months into Mr. Bolsonaro’s administration, the Supreme Court is proving to be a powerful obstacle to his conservative agenda. Going to the right is the only solution to the countries significant problems, most rational people from Brazil would agree. Socialism is not yet viable in such a country... too much violence, illegal activity and corruption at all levels of society. You need pure capitalism... build a country up before you slowly improve the social safety nets and benefits to a sustainable and responsible level. Six month of nothing!
