Yep. The same goes for utilization of public benefits: a homeless person without refrigeration or transportation is often reduced to buying small quantities of food and things from expensive convenience stores. Their dollars of assistance are so meager and yet they don't have a meaningful ability to use them better.
- graphe 4y agoYou're speaking about a very narrow type of person, atypical of any scenario. Homeless can go to churches if they behave. Most recipients are not homeless people with no transportation. I'd ask how meager? How much money did they get per month? My ex and I were eating better than we'd get for ourselves normally and we had money left over, with one link card. In California you can use link for restaurants too.
- geysersam 4y agoPeople without access to lots of refrigerator storage are not atypical. It's quite typical if you're relatively poor, and live in an urban area with a family. People with limited access to transportation are also quite typical. If you don't own a car and live anywhere outside of the areas with the best public transport you're immediately in this category.
- graphe 4y agoHe said a homeless person with no transportation and no refrigerator. You are saying limited refrigeration and limited transportation. Are they the same to you?
- geysersam 4y agoI think what op said was equally relevant for either of the categories mentioned. Focusing only on the most uncommon of them is to miss the point.
