    The implication is pretty simple - that they all whine about the system but when it benefits them they're all over it because they know it benefits them.

    They're not against it for any other reason than they get nothing out of it (until they do), in other words.

    So many ways out of this. Don't claim the basement, only claim the parts not the labor, etc. But yes, if he did ask fema money and then used it specifically for surgery money then it's fraud, but I think this is a non problem and you're missing the point.

    This is the real point to the story.

    Spoiler: show
    Roseanne harped hard in the first episode of the season that she was completely against Obama Care, because in her opinion the government couldn't afford it and she thought people should have to pay their own medical expenses. Over the course of the season, Roseanne is revealed to be suffering from a knee injury that needs surgery and there are hints of painkiller addiction before it is outed in the penultimate episode by her husband. Dan vows to get her the surgery so she can kick the painkillers, cost be damned. In the season finale, a flood sweeps through Illinois causing severe damage to their home. Dan is left with the choice of sticking with his union for his construction job and not being able to afford Roseanne's surgery, or *gasp* hire undocumented workers for cheap so he can afford the surgery. At the last minute, the fictionalized version of Trump declares the flood a federal emergency. The Connor family rejoiced because now this means they will receive FEMA money, Dan can repair the basement himself to save money, and use the rest to pay for Roseanne's knee surgery. Soooooo she ends up using government money to pay for her medical needs anyway in the end. Was that the lesson the writers intended? I don't know.
    I think people are looking WAY too hard at this. The Connors throughout the ENTIRE show have pulled this shit (starting with episode 2 in 1988, where Roseanne tells Dan various ways to screw their bills that are due), so them doing this is on par with everything in the show.

    At the end of the day, its a sitcom TV show that has relevant today topics, no different then any other show that makes money on that.

    Edit: Accidental multi-quote, my shitty phone loves to accidently hit the add quote button.

    South Park did an episode about this years ago where the kids wrote the dumbest fucking book they could imagine, and people looked way too hard into it to try and find meaning lol.

    I'd guess there's about a 0% chance that doesn't get overturned.

    The ruling actually extends to all politicians/public officials in office. This will be interesting.

    I still think the real plot is that Dan is still dead and the show is just his perpetual hell.
