Mhmm that’s exactly how it is no matter where you are. I mean, I don’t live in Pennsylvania anymore.. I actually live in the Austin Texas area now Not that I am doxxing myself, But Yeah, it’s basically the same no matter where you go and the rents are just as high here if not higher.rabidtictac wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2024 3:14 amThe kicker with SSI is they give you just barely enough money to maybe keep yourself alive. But not enough that you could improve your situation, as you say. 900 a month in my city... Maybe if you had family you could pay that much to rent a *room* and have a little left over for food. Rents around here are pretty typically in the 1500-2000 range. Everything spiraled during Covid and then didn't stop.
I know many people who would be homeless now if they didn't already have property from before values (and rents) went out of control. I know a few others who have gone to tiny home type solutions because they cannot afford to rent anything. Basically living with an electric hookup at like a camp ground or some shit.
And like you said you better hope you have somebody to help you out because that’s the only way you’re gonna get by In In this economy, if you have SSI. But that’s a double edge sword too because they find out that family is helping you out with money or food. They can also take away your money for that too.
As far as I know, Blacks don’t have any of these kind of restrictions when it comes to their welfare or government programs, but you’re disabled white guy? You’re fucked. In the workforce your college degree, might as well be a piece of toilet paper with how Useless it will be in a society that just instantly throws you in the garbage, And if you’re white, you’re barely if ever gonna get any help at all on the “dem programs” Part because they’re made to only benefit blacks. Again, I love how people preach that it’s white people who have all the privilege when if you really look at everything blacks have way more privilege than all of the races combined. i’m pretty sure the only privilege white people have at this point is allowing blacks to just kill them off with no resistance.
