    Would say overall the point is… they aren’t more expensive than regular food, depending on your situation etc… Key thing is crab legs and lobster tails, aren’t generally a huge price point beyond other things… and the joke, is of course that someone using their 200 a month and getting something moderately paletable, while a small group of cabinet members are literally spending more than… well more than a states worth of food stamp recipients get total.

      I mean, I agree with you. Why should we have less while others have more? Especially when they’re not contributing to civilization, but rather leeching off of it.

      At the same time, the $300* a month that I received was way more than enough for my personal needs. It was great. I got to eat whatever I wanted and then some. I was no longer bound to just the bare minimum that I was willing to accept.
