    basically it is correct in the U.S.

    the line where they stop helping you is low and the line where you can actually make it on your own is above that. so they stop helping you but you have a very difficult time to get to the point where you can actually survive. so you wind up back on social welfare programs (or homeless). the system is broken in the aspect. has been for as long as i’ve been alive (born in the 70’s) .

    they need to use a scale and use that scale to help you move out of the welfare programs. so the more you make the less you get, but it isn’t a hard cut off point. and the program needs to have incentives to help you get training to get a job so you don’t need the help.

    not very many people want to live on social welfare, they want to fend for themselves but the system is broken in a way that traps people.

    as for it being a form of resistance. that i’m not sure what you mean by that. do you mean a form of the people resisting against the government? then no it isn’t a form of resistance.

  • andrewta@lemmy.worldtoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•On Jail websites they let you know the exact address where a Pedo lives. But tells you not to go out and harm them. Has anyone ever used it as a list to go hunt down pedo's?

    I don’t have much time for pedos, But if you wanna try vigilanteeism, the only thing that’s gonna happen realistically if you’re going to wind up in prison. Yeah, you might get a few good hits on them or they’ll even kill them. But the end of the day you’re still in jail or prison. So if they’re alive and you beat the shit out of them, now you get stalking charge harassment charge, assault and battery charge. And once you have those charges on your record, good luck on getting a decent paying job. You won’t even get the interviews. Might make feel good, but good luck on paying your bills.

    If you killed them now, you’re in jail for murder. Or manslaughter depending on.

    Exactly how was that successful? how is that a good thing in any way shape or form? Your life is fucked.

    By the way to the original poster, I know you weren’t saying you were going to go do it. This message is really to those who are thinking about doing it. It’s just a stupid idea.
