@broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Dutch law does not allow parents to gift groceries to children if these children live on social security.
If they do, the social security income can be demanded back (which of course nobody can do because you need every fucking cent of it to survive).
Otherwise, the Netherlands is known as a tax haven (which the government denies). Companies can get away with just about anything.

@edgeofeurope@mastodon.social @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca I once gave a very nice skirt that I'd bought the wrong size to my cousin who was living on social security (in NL). She made the mistake to wear it to the periodic interview and they docked her 25 guilders. (I also gave her the 25 guilders, of course. I had a (minimum wage) job at the time.)

@edgeofeurope@mastodon.social @broadwaybabyto@zeroes.ca Calvinist mentality in an otherwise fairly liberal society. Strange.
