So politicians that want to stay in office allow people that already mooch off the government to now mooch off the government to support their drug addictions. Yay Colorado.

It's the reality of our current governance. Elections won, power gained by promising the most benefits to the most people.

You act like that's suppose to be acceptable. Those "benefits" are paid by people who actually work. Is that how you vote by whichever politician can GIVE you the most? If so no you're not welcome.

I gave up on hoping for 'what's acceptable' becoming the norm a while back.

I don't think I thanked you???

Not interesting to say it that way. You have to make it seem like they went out of their way to specifically allow that specific thing.

It was a genuine question. Because if they can cash out their stuff in any ATM, I don't really understand the outrage here. I don't think the shop owner is going out of their way to prevent transactions on their ATMs.

My understanding is they were using the cards in store. I believe that's what caused the outrage. They can still go to Walmart and sell them for .50 on the dollar and get the cash to buy the pot.

But do you not see the issue here? Using tax payers moneys that is suppose to feed them and their family to buy weed?

Do you agree with this?

LG can find the answer to your question on Snopes. Only takes him, like, 20 seconds to 30 min too.

Yes, I see the abuse of the system, I just don't find the specific location of the ATM as a relevant factor.

Look deeper. It's not where the ATM is. It's the fact the act is performed. It's wrong.

I'm going by the OP and title of the thread. If the point of this thread was just to remind us that people abuse welfare, well, no shiet. I could have told you that. Don't even need snopes.
