Wall Street should be aware of the SNAP Benefit change expected November 1st. Perhaps Wall Street would like to set up their own management offices to lobby for the poor that work for them. It ? might ? assist with the human rights abuses they will sustain.
I don't know why it is ONLY countries that have to bear the burden of human rights abuses. The Third World in many cases doesn't have the government infrastructure to deal with Wall Street abuses of their land and people. It just seems appropriate Wall Street companies should have human rights abuses noted and acted upon.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (click here) recipients will see their monthly benefits decrease beginning on November 1st. As USDA’s top official in charge of the program, I want to ensure that SNAP recipients know that this change is coming and understand what it means for you and your families.
As you know, the amount of SNAP benefits each eligible household
receives depends on many things, such as income, household size and
expenses. In addition, SNAP households have been receiving an increased
amount of benefits because of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (ARRA), a piece of legislation that provided a temporary boost
in benefits to help individuals and families impacted by the economic
downturn.
However, the portion of the ARRA legislation that provided these
additional benefits ends on October 31. As a result, beginning on
November 1, your monthly benefit will decrease. The amount of the
decrease depends on your household size.
Assuming no other changes in income, household size, or expenses between October and November, the table below shows the decrease in SNAP benefits in November by household size....
