Not only that but the system is set up to maintain this situation.
If she gets a better job, she will lose any help she is getting. Meanwhile affordable housing is not close to better jobs or affordable groceries..imagine having to choose between $3 crap food at the convenience store or taking half a day, a long walk or a bus ride, to shop and get apples and eggs and bread for $3 at the supermarket? People are trapped into these situations. When a few extraordinary individuals do manage to escape, either by fortune or enduring extreme duress, we hold them up as examples rather than saying ' it shouldn't have to be this difficult.'

Society here, and pretty much everywhere is currently broken.

I agree that our Capitalist system, though the most successful and morally righteous, could be easily exploited and plundered by the actions of evil and greedy men. Just like our nation, which was founded on Biblical principles that guided its Constitution, the Capitalist system, is one in which the principal shareholders of each company must consider its employees with utmost and pay a living wage, while letting the market set the price. The sad fact is both sides need to step up and take responsibility for their actions. Our system further fucked itself with QE and MMT. I see reparations in our future right before hyperinflation...

That's the problem right there! You just said "our capitalist system" after watching a video explaining that we are all paying for this woman's child care, food stamps and medical care because she works at a minimum wage job.

How is that not hard line socialism? We've been socialist since 1913. We ARE the Nazis. Literally. In this nation, the Third Reich is still going strong.

We're so brainwashed that we think THIS is capitalism and are fighting to keep things as they are -- thinking that we're defending capitalism!

Ha!

Nope, this is a collapsing socialist economy. And the final stage of a socialist collapse is to destroy the middle class, blame it on the poor class, and get us to kill each other while they run away with the loot.
