It's so goddamn annoying how utterly resentful, cruel and clueless people like that are. Don't have a permanent address? Good luck getting employment. Don't have multiple forms of ID? Shit out of luck. 1 Felony 20 years ago? Your debts to society arent ever over. Can't keep clothes or even clean them or yourself? Bootstraps.
There is tons of shit honestly, I've have long conversations with unhoused people about stuff like this and there are so many hurdles on top of individual ones which can vary quite drastically. But like the other thing is dead end terrible jobs can make a person so goddamn depressed, I really don't blame practically anybody for not wanting to work at places like Walmart, it's a really easy way to end up back on the wagon if you've ever had substance issues or trigger serious mental issues.
I'm about to rant cause this image reminded me about how i had a coworker at a grocery store I worked with who suffered from constant seizures that triggered the more stressed they were. He was on the ground one day having a seizure one of the assistant managers said to us helping him, "God he is so lazy, just get over it" while he wasn't even fully conscious. He can go on disability but if you've ever had to use it you know it's definitely not a livable income and extremely hard to even get on top of all the crap they prevent you from doing. So much baggage with our disability system
Disability is such a catch 22, you get on disability and its not enough to live on so you try and work part time as well and they're like, oh you can work you don't need disability :agony-mescaline:
Reminded of the city in Northern Macedonia, Rusinovo, which was constructed by Soviets in the 1940s specifically to accommodate the blind.
Like, this is something we can do to make life both comfortable and accessible to disabled people. But we'd rather build football stadiums and F-35s instead, then dunk on disabled people for being a drain on the country.

Like the old saying goes, society can be judged on how it treats its most vulnerable.
Why's ID such a hurdle? Lots of people work without ID. You don't even need one to vote.
