It makes me pretty irritated how many people abuse some of these programs. I work with adults with developmental disabilities and I can think of several who game the system like goddamn champs. One dude basically spends all of his food stamp cash on video games every month, and just buys a shitload of rice and chicken with the component he can't convert into cash. He has a bunch of my people thinking that he basically is too retarded to even read, but when he's not being evaluated, he'll read like a novel per week, and is smart enough to play stuff like rome total war and civ 5 on the harder settings. He also claims anxiety in any social situation, yet goes to basically every social event he can- concerts, parties, hangouts with friends. His anxiety only materializes when a PSR or health and welfare worker is around.
Not bagging on disabilities, because I work with some people who I literally will not let use the stove or out of my sight, but some people are gaming the system really badly. The guy I'm thinking of literally puts on his best simple jack mask every time he talks to health and welfare, and then goes back to being basically a normal person who's lazy as fuck when they aren't around.
