I'm not sure why being better off makes it harder to make purchases? The social services actually help people, they're not just a money vacuum.
- carlmr 3y agoThe social services help people, but having to spend an amount for additional services on top of what you already pay more than Americans is extra hard, no?
- AlecSchueler 3y agoNo? I disagree. If people are safe, healthy and comfortable then they're in a better position to cover their costs.
