Why would I be mad at corporations stealing trillions when there are poor people getting dozens of dollars!

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's not even about people getting more than they're supposed to. If that were the case, none of the examples in the original post would be relevant because they're simply laundering the same amount of EBT payments into cash. If it was strictly about "more" then it shouldn't matter whether a poor person uses EBT money for milk or malt whiskey.
This is really about the idea that poor people should suffer for their sin of being poor. It's the whole "I work hard, so people who don't shouldn't enjoy life" mentality. Of course it ignores the fact that many people on EBT payments are also working jobs but cost of living has outpaced minimum wage to such a comical extent that full time workers are resorting to welfare to just live.
