I completely agree with you - but crunchlibrarian is right.
This is exactly the sort of thing the social safety net _should_ cover. Otherwise only popular/beautiful people get the help they need.
There's a whole bunch of other people out there facing equally rough times, and because they don't have a million youtube subscribers they are not going to have any chance of riding it out on Patreon donations.
100% support Simone - but don't do it pretending there's nothing wrong with society and the way our governments treat _most_ people in awful situations.
- gowld 9y agoI don't know if Simone is a citizen or Permanent Resident in the US (if not, she should seek government support from her home nation), but anyone who is a citizen or Permanent Resident in the US is eligible for >1yr of temporary Unemployment insurance, as well as Medicare (age 65), Medicaid, CHIP, and SNAP.
- bigiain 9y agoThat's good to know. (For the record, I'm from Australia - and most of what we hear about healthcare costs and social security in the US are staggeringly frightening.)
