Surviving in these systems is incredibly stressful and leads to trauma for both the workers and their families. The stigma, uncertainty, and bureaucracy exact tremendous tolls.
- jimbokun 2y agoTry surviving in the world before those systems existed.
- mptest 2y agoThis is not a helpful mindset. Because things were worse before, we should ignore how they are still not faultless?
- adamomada 2y agoIsn’t perfect the enemy of good? It’s better, but not better enough until it’s faultless?

- jimbokun 2y agoThe comment I replied to made no constructive suggestions.
- mptest 2y agoThey didn't explicitly, no. But implicitly, their constructive suggestions seem obvious to me. Reduce barriers to benefits often called "means testing" - also make them more comprehensive.
- organsnyder 2y agoOh, it was most certainly worse. But that doesn't mean we can't do better.
