   @se7en where I used to live, there was a "Wal mart neighborhood store"  which is basically a grocery store. Several times I have been in there and while in line, a person would ask me if I could buy my stuff with his ebt card and give him cash. This probably happens everywhere all the time.

     @moonman @se7en This was in some teenager road-trip movie back in the 80s/90s. Buy stuff for people with daddy's gas card, get cash.

     @se7en TIL what an http://enwp.org/Electronic_benefit_transfer card is. Thanks! "Could easily pay" is not a factor. Bad money goes first.

     @clacke I'm sorry. I was confusing EBT with SNAP. However, both are pretty much the same thing: parts of a communistic welfare state

     @se7en Another acronym to learn. :) Same factors seem to apply. Given a choice, you pay with the least useful money you have available.

     @se7en But once a person has that money, and they determine that ice is the best use of it at the time, using SNAP is a rational choice. ;-)

     @clacke The reason for SNAP (Food Stamps) is to purchase food to sustain yourself. Why then would you think it reasonable to purchase bags of ice with it whrn the person has running water, the ability to make ice, does not need ice, and the bag of ice only costs a dollar?

     @clacke Furthermore, the kinds of things people with this mentality buy is usually better than that of those people off of it, such as Lobster Tails, french rolls, premoium ice cream, wine, beer, and all sorts of stuff that hard working people can't afford every day. Is it rational for people in need to get awarded more for not contributing to society than for society's functioning members?

     @se7en It's rational for people who legally received money to use it as they are allowed and see fit. Whether it's moral, a different issue.

     @se7en But it's neither surprising nor irrational, once you have access to the money and have gone past the point of refusing to buy ice.

     @se7en I don't think using this or that part of your available funds is more or less moral. At that point it's just money.

     @clacke You are misunderstanding whaty I'm saying. The family is under the mentality that you should get it just because you can. They have a freezer, running water, 2 thousand a month home, and yet they get food boxes, food stamps, social security, welfare, etc.

     @se7en @clacke the idle rich with their oppulent dining habits are problematic. They make claims upon resources far in excess of their real needs or rights, and often while whinging about the morals of others. Really there should be a classless society in which resources are allocated in a democratically decided manner.
