I agree and accept that cost. But at the same time so much of the "support" is ineffective. I wish I had a better solution.
Maybe someone will have a good idea here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16002063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16002063
- tehramz 9y agoHe gave you the solution: “Every social safety net will have freeloaders on the system. This is preferred over people in desperate need not getting the support they require.” Let the cheaters cheat; cheaters gun cheat. It’s not going to be perfect, but we should certainly be be obligated to help those that truly need it. We’re the wealthiest society in the history of the world. We can afford it, esepcially if we can do a better job weeding out some of the people taking advantage.
