  1. A lot of people qualify for benefits but don't apply. They need to. They owe it to all the people depending on them to fulfill their obligations to them. Enough of this criticism of "welfare." We have no social safety net compared to every other country. If you owe rent, or utilities, or anything, you need to get the money you are entitled to and pay your bills while you look for work.

  2.  @Knight_of_NI  I was just in a former communist country, with people who were profoundly anti-communist. All agreed that communism ended homelessness. They were opposed to the lack of freedom, the suppression of religion, and the crazy mania to punish the "politically incorrect," but they weren't liars: they told me about the good in addition to the bad. Ordinary people had beautiful condos and still do. Housing was rebuilt in a matter of a few months after an earthquake. It's all still there, all still solid. Homelessness can be solved where there is a will. Our problems are a disgrace.

  3. Sounds like fear of bringing COVID home to grandma was the issue.

  4.  @marcuslinton310  I don't disagree. This shows what fear can do.

  5. Yeah, and yet every last person I know who has looked for a job during the past 20 months has had a LOT of trouble finding one. This was done to people. This wasn't something people did. Where were you? Dislocation is not something all people can quickly adjust to, in an environment like the crisis and fear-mongering we were just put through.

  6. You'd be surprised how many people didn't get any of that. Section 8 is designed not to cover the vast majority of people. There is a long waiting line in my metro area, to the point where many social workers don't encourage relying on it at all.

  8. And that your job gets yanked from you. Get your Tony Fauci candle right here, folks. Selling those was a job, too. So-called.

  9. EVERY program fails to protect some people. This is deliberate. It is designed not to work universally. They will engineer "competition," complete with "winners and losers," where it would not otherwise exist. The government did this to people. The virus did not.

  10. Get a new job. This one isn't good for you. If you are at the point of following these tenants on Facebook and noting who has gone on vacation, and vetting sneaker costs, you need a new job.

  11. You'd be surprised how many did not.
