Ignoring any other concerns, why is this some sort of surprise to anyone?
Since the dawn of time, people have been coping with rough times by blowing cash on booze, hookers, gambling, luxury items, and etc. Instead of being scented oils or whatever shit Odysseus would buy as a beggar, it's a strip club in yeehaw, Arkansas.
I like to get drunk. I'd imagine Coramoor, even in his temple of wisdom, has said the words "I need a drink" at some point in his life - and I also doubt he's needed the assistance of others to get it.
So why do we have a dilemma at the intersection of "I Need Help Blvd." and "I Could Use a Drink Way"?
Also, think about buying a Vuitton handbag with your Red Cross funds - if you want to be all beligerent about it, word up, do just that . . . but why be outraged? Instead, this is the ultimate form of social Darwinism, if in fact your rampant classist/xenophobic fear of the poor is justified. Right?
