You know last time I was laid off, and this time too actually, I haven't figured out where these social safety nets are. I could have really used it last time too, that was a significant struggle.

I don't think it's actually intended to be helpful and probably needs to go away.

Because they won't fund it properly, thats the plan, underfund things or reduce funding to make them break, then people will say to get rid of it entirely.
When something pretty clearly isn't working I don't think the answer is more of it.
Hmm… maybe go check every other reasonable wealthy western democracy and evaluate your statement.

The people in power WANT the social safety net to fail. That is why it fails!
