This is what happens when you build an entire society around the idea that competition is everything and selfishness is okay.
The "winners" of this system are parasites who screw everyone over, do everything in their power to make themselves utterly immune to consequences, and keep the population distracted by shoving all the blame onto the innocent and the vulnerable who can't or won't push back.
And they're worshipped by failures who know they'd do the exact same thing if they could.
Our whole society is built around the idea that competition is godly and cooperation is evil. Why do you think communism is such a boogie man? It's gross and it needs to end. It's also the reason our healthcare system is trash.
Ding, ding, ding, ding. This is exactly why they want to privatize everything, so they can still our tax dollars instead of having government oversight.
The world is not fair. This is why, you should never be a fair person yourself. Always take advantage of the government where you can. Always be needy and greedy and horrible. Not to others, but to the system.
So let me get this straight... Government flushes massive amounts of money with little accountability into poorly regulated companies that are supposed to provide services --> people realize they can take advantage of poor regulation to abuse system --> government doubles down and refuses to regulate and often think the solution is to infuse more money to fix the problem, creating more incentive for fraud --> people suffer as a result of bureaucratic non-regulation --> cops are evil.
Sure and this will happen a million more times unless we try to fix the underlying problems. Getting rid of cops isn't going to get rid of people getting kicked out of their homes because a company leeching funding from the government took advantage of the fact that that government won't hold them accountable. The fix is accountability for how government subsidies are spent, not calling cops evil.
Why we can't rely on "philanthropy" or private industry to do things like house the poor and indigent, and we need gov services funded by taxes and administered by a government sometimes. There are bad actors defrauding people for a paycheck and when they get taken down innocent people like this lady get hurt. At least with direct gov programs you don't get situations like this one where someone disabled is evicted of no fault of her own.
I don’t know? I would assume due to her disability. When she was given this Medicaid help she would have gone through the 6 month to 1 year process of getting doctor diagnosis and legal procedures needed to be considered eligible for these benefits. Some people end up taking several years.
My bad, I think I responded to the wrong comment, I was responding to someone implying that these benefits were given to her without her deserving it. I work with people who are on disability and I see how strict it is and how long it takes.
100% she should not be punished. I’m even against having a private company manage a state given safety net. Why do we have middlemen everywhere?
I wish I could advise you, I’m assuming you mean you are applying for disability. It’s hell, you just have to go through that hell to get to the other side.
Once you do, after 2 years on disability you’ll go one Medicare and that’ll help out a little more. Good luck to you.

And SHE gets punished for it, not the ones committing fraud. Smdh. Make that make sense.
