Agreed, Lucas is so far removed from the world, and society he doesn't see anyone in need/want (with a little silver tongue) can get EBT sec 8 etc. These programs exist because anyone can fall on hard times, so anyone can get them as long as deemed "in need".
Lucas has no understanding of this and a huge ego so he really in his brain thinks, man I'm just so god damn rad, I get free shit. I earn this by being just amazing. You know how people want J Lo, George Clooney, David Beckham just around them or using their products? Lucas thinks that, in regards to his EBT card.
Reality is he's too useless to feed himself like a normal person. So the state chooses to not let him starve in a ditch.
But you are right he's targeting people who don't have anything, and for all it's debate, it's good these programs exist because otherwise someone may have to cave to Lucas for a roof over their head. It's really no shock tho he uses EBT as a pick up line, or his little fart box because as a pedophile, he's predatory in nature.
The only people worse off than him, choose to be due to mental illness or addiction. His area is one of the best in the nation in regards to social services. So the only people he could pick up, he can't give what they really want, and I'm talking literal crack heads, etc people whom choose to not stay at a shelter group home etc because drugs out value anything in their lives, or a fantasy (Lucas literally has been and again will be in this group)
If you want to pick up a crack whore, they are very easy to manipulate and keep around, but you just need a steady flow of crack. Lucas sure wouldn't want to be around the niggo drug dealers, nor could he afford a crack habit of someone else, and is far to selfish to feed someone else's addiction in return for control and sex.
Lucas what I'm trying to say, you think you're gonna get a 20 year old model but really a 50 year old crack head sleeping at the bus stop is too good for you, if you can't provide anything for them, what makes you think you're gonna get a perfect 10 teen wiafu?
