He's got a roof over his head, food to eat, and a ton of leisure time. That is dignified.

His comment about one accident away is something he'd still be facing with 40 hours a week. We could all do with improvements to the social safety net.

I don't know how leisurely that leisure time is gonna be, considering he's only got a hundred bucks to play with, coupled with the stress and anxiety of being one car repair or injury away from financial ruin.

You're absolutely right that the social safety net needs improvements, but that net should be there for everyone, not just those that work some arbitrary number of hours.
