EDIT: @klystron : I live in a mental health recovery facility & unfortunately have to rely on taxpayer money to survive. Not because I'm lazy or refuse to work, but because of frequent psychotic breaks that kind of interfere with. . .everything. I actually do menial work at the aforementioned facility to pay some of my bills, & soon I'm going to be traveling to other hospitals to offer support to teenage girls who've spent a good portion of their lives in the mental health system. I also worked & went to school & paid rent & taxes before I went completely batshit.
TL;DR, life has a funny way of knocking you down & taking a baseball bat to your head sometimes. You never know when you're gonna need help getting back on your feet.
EDIT x2 COMBO: Point is that I can see how welfare, etc. can be a sore subject for some, a la
@Chuggernaut . I have a bad habit of jumping down people's throats about that stuff, too.
. . .Man,
@Null 's gonna be so disappointed in me. ANYWAY WOW TJ WHAT A DOUCHE AMIRITE
