don't be bothered by what a piece of garbage like that has to say. somebody like that isn't worth the air they breathe. I'm enraged that they'd have the nerve to speak to somebody like that. fuckin' liberals.

They got like 18 upbears and people commenting in agreement.

truly disgusting behaviour on behalf of this sites users. utterly disappointing. trash like that compromise the entire purpose of the community. sub-human filth who would rather scold those in difficult situations than extend a helping hand. quintessential liberal behaviour. those who have never truly struggled in life and do not care for those who have, yet put on the mask of allyship as if their intentions are to aid when their intentions are to admonish. these people are not worth the air they breathe. please do not allow the dirty words of these demons to bother you. especially when you're the kind of person who would receive a donation of that scale and still use it to help others. I would like to see any liberals plan for how any lump sum payment could uplift somebody out of homelessness. these liberals are obsessed with fantasies of noble White Men pulling themselves up by their boot straps. they're incapable of seeing reality. they're delusional, holier than thou monsters.

that's how i see it.

to scold someone in a more difficult position than oneself is such a disgusting act. it fills me with rage. you've done nothing wrong. that's the simple truth.

how any lump sum payment could uplift somebody out of homelessness.

it can certainly happen but the stars have to align on a very single clear cause. I helped a migrant family like a month ago who got pulled over with a gun in the car, which made the county impound it until they could pay $2k to get it back. Doordash was their only source of income so they couldn't pay rent and no longer could sleep in their car either. Local jail support org was able to get them a couple days of hotel while we tried and failed to get their car back with bribes, and ultimately I and some other contributors were able to give them like $600 for their first month's rent in another state. At that point they almost immediately found two under-the-table jobs and became self-sustaining. They're probably still precarious but at least they're housed now. Really nice folks with a cute toddler.

But the thing is they had good connections in the immigrant community which allowed them to get an apartment without proof of income, and to quickly get those jobs. Two adults getting min wage can make rent so they literally just needed the starting capital. It's harder for a person on their own because the kinds of job you can get at a moment's notice generally don't pay enough to live without a roommate. Idk I think that all we can say is that allthetimesivedied needed something other than $4k - maybe just more capital, maybe a different kind of thing.
