Grey Poupon is not fancy mustard. You can buy that shit in any grocery store, it was developed by food scientists and is mass produced in giant semi-automated factories. It's also not particularly expensive. If you can only afford yellow mustard but not Grey Poupon you shouldn't be buying any mustard because your budget is way too tight to be paying for condiments you can get free in a fast food restaurant.

This is just a totally brain dead take. Maybe the SNAP recipient likes brown mustard and prioritizes it. And you don’t care that much so you don’t prioritize it. If it mattered to you, you would budget to get fancy mustard.

If you really do feel you can’t afford fancy mustard, you shouldn’t be mad at the person who earns food assistance and then uses it to buy fancy mustard, you should be mad that you aren’t making enough to afford fancy mustard.

Oh yes, the classic “the poor people are secretly happy and that bothers me” argument. It’s like a cat call for stupid people. The whole point of it is to say “you’re not allowed to have anything remotely nice because I consider myself better than you.”

It’s mental illness made into a political platform.

Or just get off the Nazi platform entirely. Seems pretty simple.

It's so weird seeing that sunshine account when our local sunshine lemming is the opposite.

Yellow mustard is not less fancy. It's yellow because it has turmeric in it. That's more ingredients and it's one of those fancy unique spices.

The reason it's cheap is because Americans like the flavor of turmeric in their mustard so some companies have made a cheap version of it.

Imagine being the kind of ghoul that thinks if people need assistance, that assistance should be the absolute bottom of the barrel lest someone who didn't need the assistance chose to not spend the money they have the freedom to decide how to spend.

Life isn't zero sum.

If you want fancier mustard and you're not on food stamps, just spend one of the extra dollars you must have to cause that. It's not gonna run out

They charge for the blue checkmarks? And...people do it? I haven't had xitter since years before nazi boy bought it.

This is what I like about universal basic income. This argument no longer exists.

I was on unemployment one time and had to decide between staying on unemployment and accepting a job where I barely made any more money after gas.

I love the idiocy of the view that the poorest among us are eating like kings for free while we all suffer and toil for peanuts. I mean, how dumb do you have to be? I've got a steal of a deal on some property on mars you may be interested in.

who is eating that much mustard to be unable to afford it

I've encountered people like this. They absolutely loathe when someone points out that what they said was wrong

Are poor people really gorging themselves on fine condiments? Of course not. Ridiculous.

Whole discussion is about " I can only afford 1/3 price generic mustard, but SNAP recipients are spoiled"

SNAP funds can also be used to buy cheap mustard to stetch limited SNAP budget.

I like generic yellow mustard. What the fuck is "Sunshine" complaining about?

If that’s all you can afford, you might need snap tbh

They're only one mustard. It's spelled penis backwards and it's made in the beautiful small town of Põltsamaa.

If any mustard enthusiasts are reading this, I strongly recommend you prepare your nostrils and try this. It's amazing.

"poor people shouldn't be able to afford food because I'm irresponsible with my money"

.... That's what this sounds like.

If you're not "poor enough" to need snap, and you can't afford to buy whatever food you want, within reason, then either, you need snap and you're in denial, or you need to learn money management.

Snap recipients are forced to spend the money on food, since that's the only place that money can be spent AFAIK.... So they're forced to be responsible with their food money. They can't use the funds to get drunk at the pub and stumble down the street picking fights and ending up in the drunk tank.
