“yeah, I should be able to buy drugs with my welfare money”
-you, a fool raised by a culture that drinks poison for fun
the programs are fucking drowning and you all want to buy etoh with it? are you kidding me?
what do yall think of nicotine?? should we buy that with snap too? cuz when i read lemmy posts about nicotine, you all act like it’s the worst thing on earth. but it’s just another poison like etoh, one that we have no business spending public funding on when there are families barely affording essential groceries for their kids and a congress trying to get rid of the few bucks they do make
really the problem with all this shit is how SS is essentially govt enforced poverty. In the 70s they’d pay for your education just to get you off of it. now they take away your EBT if you make too much money
it’s part of a broader conversation on attitudes towards substance use on lemmy. I’m saying i see inconsistency in the attitudes in lemmy between one drug and another, such that alcohol = good drug; nicotine = bad drug. and we seem to see no hypocrisy with this!
none of you seem to consider alcohol a drug. I’m absolutely disgusted that you guys think you should be able to buy drugs with money intended to prevent starvation. YOU can fuck right off with that.
how about heroin, you wanna buy dope with food stamps too? fuck. off. WHY is alcohol so special that you think beer with food stamps is okay?
if you can’t see how bringing up other drugs proves this point, then you might be an addict.

What the fuck does nicotine have anything to do with this discussion?
I just got threatened by a guest in my own apartment for looking to recycle old lithium batteries today.
Ain’t no fucking body trying to buy cigarettes off of SNAP.
You can literally go fuckoff.

Homie, where I’m from, beer is cheaper than good clean filtered water, and is far safer than plain tap water.
Yes I drink beer. No I do not have SNAP benefits. Even if I did, I live in a state where you cannot purchase beer with SNAP.
If someone can just riddle me why the hell beer is cheaper than filtered water, and do something about that, I’ll gladly switch back to water.
