Anecdotal but all my friends who work retail ended up making more on stimulus/unemployment than they did working. That is already strange but when you add in that people on unemployment were making far more than the "essential" retail workers and it became kind of perverse.

I would argue that yes, if you are getting free money from the government to help sustain you during trying times it is reasonable to say it shouldn't be used for gambling. I don't think we are impinging on anyones freedom to say they can't spend their food stamps at a casino.
