Check out my experience with my elderly neighbor. She is at risk of homelessness due to getting cut from benefits. It's hellish.

I posted to Ask HN about it recently [1] and it is just mind blowing how bad the USA safety net is.

I am baffled. We can barely communicate with them due to months of lag on their end.
