I've stated earlier in the thread this kind of poor subsidizing only hurts them over the long term.


There's no subsidizing going on, they're just being offered a discount.

Thank you so much for posting this!

Just took advantage of the half off.

We have medicaid and medicare for my sister and the state does not pay for her diapers. We often order them online, because they have the kind we need.

It's not about getting a leg up anymore, since people have no self pride or shame about being beggars, it's all about society propping them up indefinitely because they just don't give a frick.

We babysit grown arse people and have for at least half a century, all while giving incentives for them to breed. It's mind boggling.

Looks like the only qualifying state is New York for them to accept EBT. Kinda surprised they don't allow people to just use EBT anywhere online to buy food. Seems like Amazon would be a good place for it since they could get a membership cheap then use their EBT to load up on food with free shipping. Good for people who don't have transportation to get to the store.

I personally shop on Amazon a lot because when I compare prices to my local grocery stores even Walmart tons of stuff is waaaay cheaper on Amazon.
