4. It's actually worse than that....

Regarding the internet access. Three years ago, maybe four, the state closed more than half the Job Services offices which are the statewide UI/find a job place and also welfare offices except child services. There's only one per county. They rely on a nonprofit to handle homeless and access to applications for the few federally funded programs available. There's really no social safety net here. I was homeless for ten months not so long ago and it really sucked. And I was a federal gov't employee before that. The current system sets up you up for further victim-hood rather than helping you keep from living on the street. The current group at the capitol seem to be trying to run off the low income people and sell everything off to billionaires. Montana has a lot of value and it is held in public trust by the federal government, they want to gain control of it and sell it off for personal profit.

This state is in danger and I don't know if I should be available to get caught in the crossfire.
