The very poor in the US are constantly made to wait.
For public benefits, they are made to sit waiting in a "DMV" office for several days per year. Then required to attend meetings, training, and complete paperwork that is likely pointless to their plight or assuring a better path, mostly to check bureaucratic boxes while simultaneously treating them like criminals for the heinous crime of being poor.
- graphe 4y agoI've been in that situation and sitting around in a shitty room for an hour and getting an interview for 10 minutes to give me healthcare and food stamps for a year is definitely giving me more than I put in. I don't know about that other crap you had but I didn't have they at all, must be different in states.

- graphe 4y agoAre you sure they are not just propaganda? Many people who say those things say the US has no free healthcare ignoring medicaid, medicare and Obamacare because it's an American pasttime to throw out misinformation and hate the government. They're going to say benefits were cut too, ignoring that the benefits went up during covid.
