Remember everyone: people in poverty not only are allowed to beg for their necessities such as rent, bills and grocerie-- oh wait scratch that let me start over.
People in (Lou) poverty can beg for necessities such as.. groceries that must add to the food that is already bought for the house as his mother has been documented making food for him even recently. But on top of that they can also ask for $50 for "luxury items" because poor people are allowed nice things and that means everyone else has to fund those nice things.
People in true poverty don't get luxury items out of their money. They can't afford it. They may save small amounts each paycheck to have enough for a luxury item every now and again, but that's the point- it's saved from a paycheck or welfare benefits, not money grifted from overs in a repetitive way that resembles some kind of monthly income.
And also, how the fuck are you spending $250 sometimes twice a month on groceries alone??? How can anyone still be falling for this bullshit

when you're poor, you make money stretch. I remember in my student days where I would sometimes have £10 a week for food. I literally lived on pasta I could buy for less than £1 per 500g pack and made sauce from a mix of tomato puree from a tube, a tiny bit of olive oil, some herb mix and sometimes a tiny bit of sugar or sweetener if I could afford it. I would sometimes manage to get instant noodles on multi-buy deals from the £1 shop too, but pasta made more meals per purchase so it was more value for money.
Literally fuck you Lou, in the middle of a global pandemic that is costing so many people their jobs, you continue to act like an absolute stain on society
