People who are disabled, poor or on fixed incomes should be allowed nice things.
Society acts as though anyone receiving assistance should be forced to make do with the bare minimum ALL the time.
It’s suffering as a policy choice.
It’s cruel and unnecessary.
This is true in the USA, too. If you're poor, you must also be undeserving of pleasure, comfort, or ease.
"suspiciously reluctantly and grudgingly" is poetry. "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat" is nearly as good.
And it's EXPENSIVE to be poor. But that's another whole rant/rabbit hole.
