Where I'm at, that would mean you'd starve. We're in a food desert. And on your son's income rent would be brutal. It's 1400 a month for a rat trap here.
So then you add the cost of moving, too. Of course you could just drop all your belongings and thumb a ride out, I suppose.
By the way lots of bankruptcies happen to people who are insured.
Adding health insurance to one's expenses is going to cause a lot more bankruptcies, homelessness and people jamming soup kitchens. Remember I told you so when it happens.
Or people will simply evade.
Raising people's cost of living right now will simply not work. The poor cannot adapt any longer - they're in over their heads. This is the killing blow. Count on that.

It's telling that Mussolini really wasn't responsible for keeping the trains on time.

So now you come here and gripe about the lack of an unrec. Unrec is gone, deal with it.
