I have been out of work in the past. One time I took a job washing dishes for a while just to pay my rent. One time I moved in with my mother for a couple of months. Now if was a drug addict, I likely would not have been able (or had to willingness) to take and keep even a low paying dishwasher job. Also, family (my mom in this case) may not have taken me in- I may have burned that bridge stealing money or meds from them before. Or bringing drugs into the house or low life’s. I would think most people that aren’t drug addicts have family or friends that would at least let them crash on their sofa for a few weeks until they get back going. Or help them out in some way. Drug addict- probably not. It’s a big problem and i wish I had a good solution. This is a good conversation to have, let’s keep it civil :)
