re: #253 Irenicum

When I was much younger I grew up on welfare and had to be on it for a short period as a young adult. I hated every minute of it and got work as fast as I could. But I am glad that it was available.

Exactly!
I’m glad it was (and is) available, too.
But most folks, like you, prefer to be working and living better than what a welfare income will provide.
