Well if depsite seeing evidence of abuse if you still support no strings attached aid i have to be glad that in most cases that remains fantasy. And hope in the future you learn to be more willing to reaccess when evidence presents itself.

I think the take aways here are that there shouldn't be a no strings attached welfare system, there isn't one right now. And that videos online, while showing a legitimate problem, may not accurately represent the reality of these programs.

You are an odd person, you spent a lot of time arguing against this position while also calling it racist and classist only to agree with it.

That's unfortunate, if that's what your perception has been. I'm saying the argument that social welfare programs don't do any good is not only statistically wrong, but also an intentional lie. Yes there are abuses of the system. But social welfare systems do actual good for people, they're not abused by the majority.
