Interesting choice of vocabulary.
You could decide not to serve people without also describing them as freeloaders in order to feel morally righteous about your choice.

Recently former homeless person here. The Republicans in Congress refused to renew the Lifeline program in 2023 and the replacement is objectively worse in every single way.

Ah yes, being homeless, a choice. I hope it never happens to you.
We should support the rural lifestyle choice. For one, the food you eat comes from there.
It just saddens me that you can be so devoid of empathy.
