This is insanely inaccurate so I downvoted you. There are many, many kinds of assistance available to people. It's not an either/or situation where you run out

  > There are many, many kinds of assistance available to people Yeah? Like what? > It's not an either/or situation where you run out of unemployment and then your next option is death by exposure and starvation. Come on. It's not like you run out of unemployment and die from exposure the next day. It's a very slow, gradual process. Many people survive for years on the street before they succumb. But unless something changes, or they are taken in by friends or family, the vast majority of the long-term unemployed will end up on the streets (or in prison) and sooner or later they will die there, because the sad fact of the matter is that at the moment there is no place else for them to go.
