You are thinking of y’all, which is a southern American slang contraction of “you all.” However, this person put “ya’ll,” so it’s a contraction of “ya will.”
Either way, neither really fits on the context of the sentence. I wish they had just said poor addicts if that’s who they meant to imply. Shame on me for projecting if I’m misinterpreting.
“Y’all” spelled “ya’ll” bugs the shit out of me. It’s my “I’m a descriptivist until…” Moment.
But “we … For y’all people” absolutely is how they’d say it where I’m from. The quotes around the word read to me like they’re shaming them (which, honestly, in the South, I’m sure I’m sure they are), but the sentence structure itself is perfectly in line with how it’s normally spoken in my experience.
“All of you” “You all” general Americanism for referencing a group of people.
Unless that’s not what you are asking
It’s in quotes like it’s intended to be condescending or derogatory from my perspective but I’m Canadian so idk.
Wow, your English is pretty good for a Canadian. Did you go to international school or did you grow up in the rough part of Canada?
Was just pointing out the typo.

It’s like an extra plural of “you people”, to include a broader range of “you people” instead of the singular plural.
Hopefully the linguist hippies can explain.
“What do you mean “you people?” 😠”
Youse peoples
Not to be confused with yoots.
I’m sorry. I meant “Yuuuuuuttthhhhzz”.
