An old friend of mine currently gets over $1300 in EBT a month. 3 kids. He buys steak regularly (at least twice a week) and goes fishing at least 4 days a week on his console boat. He owns both next-gen game consoles from Sony and Microsoft and has large flat-screen TVs in every room of his house. He, his wife, and 2 of their kids all have the latest gen deluxe phones. He once showed up at my house in Obama shoes.

I'd say that it plays a part. He doesn't look at politics at all, but when ol' Sniffer was up, he rooted for that guy on the premise of getting another stimmy check
