Like I said, you can't understand it, because you don't respect these people. No, it's not just teenagers that have to take jobs like this. I understand the point about skills, but you have to give these people some way to keep up with expenses that keep going up. There's a balance that needs to be maintained. It's not just for the workers. Desperate people commit crimes. Those crimes aren't always gunna happen to somebody else. It could be you, or your family.

that's why assistance should be geared towards teaching people skills, furthering their education by sending to college, or a trade school so that they can get a job that will support them. giving someone money-that's all well and good. but a year later, how are they better off? how are they more able to take care of themselves? they're not.
