$300 is now like 2 weeks of groceries, and about 15% of the cheapest monthly rent in my area.
I'd argue the psychological benefit of being able to listen to music properly outweighs that. This person doesn't need financial advice, they need levels of support that simply aren't fucking available in this country to those who have no money already.
I hope you get dysentery
Shut the fuck up nerd

I mean imagine buying something to keep your morale up when you're stuck in a miserable situation. Send them money or shut the fuck up, and also shut the fuck up either way. Hope you suffer a tragedy soon, bye.
Wow damn I read your deleted comments and you're a fuckin piece of shit, never come back fuck you
Shut the fuck up ranchblood
Fuck off, you sanctimonious removed
Finally, the unspoken truth and logic unhoused people need to hear:
"Spend money better idiot"
You should run a financial literacy class for unhoused people
They can all pull up in their Cadillacs wearing Gucci and learn to buy housing instead of avocado toast
My mind is blown just thinking about it right now, I wonder why homelessness is even a problem?
It must be because we just don't have enough people to talk down to them
What is there to possibly be gained by bringing the same kind of hounding unhoused people receive about how they spend their money found throughout capitalist society into our space? You think they don't hear that enough already?
The whole point of our mutual aid community is that you can ask for money without means testing or people bothering you about how exactly you spent it. Also, idk if you actually read their post, but the headphones money didn't even come from here.
It's not a strawman, you literally sound like one of those people when you're talking about people spending the tiny amount of money (a drop in a bucket compared to what people actually need, continuously, to survive) they get from "handouts" on "frivolous non-essential purchases" (wildly loaded words) and calling them "fucking stupid"
It's one thing to be giving advice (although unsolicited advice is often annoying) but what is it about what you're saying that is different from the average liberal just talking down to unhoused people about how they think they're spending money wrong?
You came into this calling them "fucking idiotic" so fuck you
Also you can't be racist to white people
Damn they're white too???
