No unlike me he needs a job and can't (*)(*)(*)(*) the elite off. I'm not in a position that I have to grovel for anything and can speak my mind freely. You sound like you are in the same boat he is in. Hang in there, some day you too might shed the chains of slavery. LOL |
Ah, so you live at home with the folks. Sounds free to me.
I know what's going on? In your definition of what's going on? Yes and no.
I realize that welfare programs generally aren't doing a great job of helping the poor (also realizing that their absence doesn't help much either). But I don't need a conspiracy theory to figure out why that is.
The people in the bureaus try to what extent they can, especially those that actually work directly with the poor. The problem is that they must work within the structure. The tructure of all bureaucracy is pretty much the same. They worry about efficiency, net results, and securing profits. Politicians set the goals. Politicians are elected by the people.
And as much as they'll never admit it, most people just don't want to think about the poor. They want them out of the way. They either want to lump them all as scoundrels or all as people needing help. Government is slow to figure out that not all poor people are the same and not all have the same needs. Departments are compartmentalized and each believes in its solution first and foremost. Departments are slow to form relationships with one another to get things done right. Poor people are numbers in government. It's not some conspiracy. It's just the nature of bureaucracy.
If there's a better way, I'm all for it.
And in the meantime, yes, I need some paychecks. I refuse to leave my fiancee alone to pay off my old debt. I feel little guilt about getting done what I am charged with and then taking the pay for the other hours I was promised. God, I'd love a salary job. I should probably feel more guilt about shirking at my sales job which actually expects more of me, but... I don't. Oh well. I'm an @$$hole, just like everyone else in retail. Retail brings out the worst in everyone. I don't shirk, however, at my lowest paying, fewest hours position as a caregiver.
