- legitster 4y agoThis is a pretty petty attitude. The point of these social programs is that they are tied to household need - not employment. What's the point of welfare programs if they should only be tied to unemployment? Moreso, EBT eligibility is usually determined by household size. So I guess it's Wal-Mart's fault for not paying people based on how many children they have?
- the_lonely_road 4y agoI’ll add to this that a system designed to stabilize around units of “two-earners” can be expected to find a number of single earners struggling, especially if you self select your analysis to be discussing single earners from the bottom quintile. It would be a shock if that cohort did not have significant issues existing within the current system. Walmart employees, making minimum wage or close to, are expected to be a cohort from the bottom quintile before accounting for partner income.
