Half of the programs are so neutered it's like, who cares that it is? Ohhh noooo this guy makes $23k instead of $22k he still can't afford to eat let him have his blistering $100 of ebt. 🤷
My favorite is catching those "I wouldn't work either if I could just live on a check!" types. I encourage them to get that ssi check if they can, while explaining that they'll have to spend their savings down to under a grand, if they have two cars they'll have to sell one, etc etc - all to pull like $800/mo that'll drop to $50 if they log so much as a few hours at a part time job.
If that sounds like heaven to you, live yo best life fam. 🤷 But I don't think that reality aligns with their vision of life of SSI.
