You have to have realistic choice to be able to deny such things. Desperate and hungry people don't have realistic choices.

- Broken_Hippo 6y agoA sizable percentage of Americans live 1-2 paychecks away from being homeless. AS in, I've seen numbers of up to 59%. I have no clue where to find that information about drivers in particular - if you do, you could look it up. But if you assume that they represent at least the general population, you could count on a sizable portion of drivers needing it. It might not even be housing: If you can't pay your water bill, the water company will shut you off and threaten to report you to social services if it isn't on very quickly (and then take longer than that to turn it on). Kids can get taken for electricity or a number of things.
