    Yes, I’ll gladly deposit this check into the bank for homeless people. Right after I give half of it to my friend whose partner harasses them and controls their accounts

      the bank for homeless people

      Which is a real thing, in this hypothetical.

      Right after I give half of it to my friend whose partner harasses them and controls their accounts

      The accounts they know about.

      Even if you still scoff at these: that’s two out of nine. The rest are pretending people can’t give money to other people… for some reason. Three of them are just rephrasing “no garage sales.” Yeah, you can’t sell your couch for a bit of cash if there’s no cash, but you can still sell your couch, for money.

      Bad arguments for good conclusions are still bad arguments.
