It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

As much as liberals want to rattle out logical fallacy cliches, they absolutely are addicted to making false equivalencies. The RULES BASED ORDER(tm) is built on them.

I remember seeing this and trying to work the math out. Like my man saw someone sell 300 gallons of milk to buy an iphone? Were they selling baby formula?

Hang on just setting up a dairy dispensary so I can buy a single phone

If you're gonna make up shit about poor people at least do it with numbers that make sense.

I'm pretty sure this person has not in fact seen people selling milk they get from EBT. Unless you get industrial amounts of milk from EBT, how would you even go about selling whatever amount you get? I'm certainly not gonna buy a single carton of milk from a stranger in a parking lot. To get any buyers at all they would have to sell at well below market price, which is a real problem when you're not dealing in valuable commodities like drugs, but trying to sell a very limited amount of milk. Combined with the amount of work you would have to put in to hawk single servings of milk to strangers without receipts or any quality control I just do not see this as a viable business idea even as supplementary income and I did not even have to leave the liberal mindset to arrive at that conclusion.

What this person might have seen is someone offering a glass of milk to friends and family who are also helping them out economically. That makes perfect sense and is a nice thing to do, but isn't really a question of selling milk.

Or maybe EBT delivers industrial amounts of milk. If the tonnage of milk you receive is large enough it would only make sense to try to sell it.
