You also often need an address and bank account, it’s almost impossible for homeless people to ‘just get a job’.
people with serious medical conditions only work in crappy kitchens because usually there’s a cash option, and if they get paid on paper they’ll lose their state subsidized healthcare.
Which would mean that if they make too much money they’ll lose access to the medication keeping them alive.
Pretty cool system we have here
Also, for people who aren’t able to work full time, it can be cheaper to be unemployed so you can stay on Medicaid.
