I just saw a pretty decent movie on the Peacock streaming network, I forget the title already, something about Interstate 60 (there is no interstate 60 :) ). One scene has some town where they made some highly addictive drug legal, and dropped the legal age to 13, resulting in almost everyone being addicted. To keep their addiction satisfied, they do menial jobs and get enough money to pay for food and the very low cost drug. This movie is about 20 years old, but that scene depicts what is happening now with Fed providing basics, while the people get stoned or drunk. The difference is, the Fed doesn't make their dependents work.
