That's not what I said at all. What I was saying is that if you give free housing and free snap to people, society will have to take care of those children, and there's a risk of a lot of people who aren't willing to or aren't able to work. Possibly with AI and UBI in the future, this won't matter, but for now, it does. I am also not a wealthy person. I am poor as fuck, have considered suicide because of poverty, and do work hard but have had a lot of tragedy in my life. I am explaining the problem of unregulated free food and housing eventually leads to resource problems. You don't know me, or what I've been though in life, and fuck you.

Fair enough, but I still wish I could give you UBI, free healthcare (including mental health and for gucks sake dental), and an opportunity at free college
