    I am on ssi, which is as close as America has to a program like this, and I honestly don’t understand how people survive without the guarantee that there’s going to be money in the bank next month. I mean even if you have a job, job security is getting rare these days with all the jobs that get created being those with high turnover rates.

    Walmart and Amazon are going to have to start taking people off of their hire Blacklist because they basically gone through the entire Workforce at this point.

    Or at the very least drop the no felons policy, there are more legal crackdowns on those kinds of things anyway, and pretty much every human’s rights advocate worth their salt is eager to point out how punishing ex-convicts by denying the access to food, medicine, and a steady paycheck, is only going to encourage them to become better criminals, when the option ultimately boils down to rob a gas station or don’t eat.

    Okay I am literally a published author, and that being a single sentence hurt me to write.
