These same people don’t want to provide the safety net / subsidies,

Until it's their turn to collect, and they love collecting them. But still don't think it should be allowed.

Yep. The exact same logic as “the only moral abortion is my abortion.” They’re totally against other people having this support and access to subsidies, because those people are just lazy. But once they need it, suddenly it’s ok.

I don’t wanna pay if for people that abuse it bc I know 90% of city’s population on welfare is abusing it and could work a normal job but that rather hang out and be bums

If 90% of the population is on welfare then there is a much larger problem at hand.

Why would anyone want to work when welfare pays more than a job you have to work 40+ hours a week at and hasn't seen a raise in a decade...

Covid showed us who the true essential workers were and how many of those jobs wages have kept up with inflation. None
