- DoreenMichele 6y agoI did gig work while homeless. I didn't "want" a regular job because I couldn't successfully hold one down while coping with a lengthy health crisis. Among other things, I run r/GigWorks on Reddit to try to foster solutions for other people like me who are willing to work but can't make a "normal" job work for them currently.
- xnyan 6y agoThere always have and always will be people that need more help than those around them can provide. The key to helping those people is having lots of options so that we have the best chance of meeting some/most/all of their needs. Educational programs, jobs programs, cash payments, assisted/managed living, institutional facilities in someo cases or some combination of these services depending on the person. Some may say we already have these options - we don’t, at least there are many places in the USA and the rest of the world where they are not generally available to everyone who needs them.
