Do you use them for food or whatever?
If ppl on food stamps (or any government assistance for that matter) are spending their time in IIN, they really need to take a hard look at themselves and their morality.
Priorities. If they need govt assistance for food, they shouldn’t be paying $90-$200 a month for cable tv and internet access (or more for mobile data on a smartphone). That money would buy a lot of food staples.
If they are gaining free access from a public library, they should be searching for gainful employment versus browsing IIN for the latest poop post and using a computer that there is always someone else waiting to use.
People should be taking a look at their morality regarding capitalism and the money system. It's not a coincidence that it's always pro capitalist people who sneer at disabled people.
Are you suggesting socialism where everyone is taxed at 50%+ or perhaps social communism where they just put disabled and undesirable ppl in an institution or prison?
What is a pro capitalist? Someone who works in a capitalist country? That’s a lot of ppl sneering.

Would have answered you first, but notices aren’t working for me.
But they are entitled to downtime too.
Many people on SNAP have disabilities, are military families, are children, are families with parents working full time but on minimum wage, which is not a liveable wage in your country.
When I was last in the US, I got my new smart phone (my battery overheated and died on the flight. Hurrah :/ ) for $80ish plus tax, and a month of unlimited calls and data for $45. Would have been cheaper if I hadn't had to get international calls, like $30, I think. Nowadays, people need phones for various reasons, including obtaining and maintaining a job.
Use an EBT card at Costco to buy economy size boxes of candy and sell them individually at a little below retail cost.
We don't have food stamps in Australia: are they actual stamps you hand over in shops instead of money?
Problem is that 14 gallons of Mountain Dew, 10 bags of “family size” potato chips, and 32 candy bars counts as food.
plus any bodega in the 'hood will cash them in for 50 percent face value so taxpayers money can fund drugs
Yep, but we mustn’t control use of our tax dollars and infringe on people’s rights to game the system. Or impede a family of walruses charging the junk food isle in 7-11 when their card is reloaded and after they’ve just wiped out the local food bank.
Maybe we should just drop cash from a helicopter.
Food stamps can be sold for money to buy drugs and other illegal things. Boxed food is harder to sell for drugs.
