Working Poor

And so much yes on 'social assistants' (the staff)

look i understand they have a nice college degree

now tell me that a snip of 22 years old who recoils at the smell of sweat
has been
raped (i haven't)
in a fight with multiple armed people (i have)
been on the street because you lost your roof (i have)
gone hungry for multiple days unless dieting

sorry...when they can't walk it, they shouldn't talk it, and the mere 'i can imagine' is insulting


you can imagine 4 broken bones and going to work cause it's all you can afford?
you can imagine lifting merchandise with torn muscles? without pain killer cause it's painkiller or food

Isn't it sad that we have to 'bow and scrape and beg' to 'social services' sometimes more than poor people had to do to 'patron/nobles' in the old days


my best friend lost half his housing support cause he got a $1 a day increase in pay
housing support was $80 increase in pay $27 or so, but he was border line on the 'rules'
so they cancelled his housing support, he lost the apartment


fortunately at the time i was living where i could let him take a room
sad though, they are supposed to help but often follow the rules to the point of making it harder
