My eldest does on line roll playing. I asked him why he doesn’t do the subscription thing. He started and just met some level and now gets a check in the mail every quarter. It’s not big, but it’s ‘free’ money for doing something he was already doing.

Kinda like a dividend stock.

If you can have cash flow for near zero work, certainly not digging ditches or over a hot fryer, why wouldn’t you?

Web says 38 million on EBT. USA is 380M.

A full 60% of those 38M on SNAP are kids and elderly by this link.

So that leaves 15M of working age on SNAP. That seems like a pretty small number to the 157M employees in the US.

Kids are "on SNAP" because the adult "of working age" that is supposed to feed them is not performing their responsibilities...and the elderly apparently did not do so either (and their loser kids/grandkids are not taking care of them either). So, essentially 38M. It is easy not to work or prepare for the future when you know government will take money from someone that has/does...and give it to you.
