    I know people around me that just use most of their check for weed.

    not really any of your business. if they are able to arrange where they have spending money good for them.

    i don’t even support SS but this thinking is paternalistic since you don’t know their personal financial situation. but the judgement is heavy

      My point was that they can work, some of them have under the table jobs to begin with and they are abusing the system. Ss will occasionally audit and ask for random bank statements anyway. Not my business but it is the government’s if the money comes from them (technically we who work and pay into it anyway). They don’t give the money to pay for weed they give it to support you-- barely.
