If only it were that easy to get out of poverty. It's not like the old days.
Of course no-one likes people who abuse the system, who could work but choose not to.
But there are people who have lost their jobs and their homes, and have families to support.
Most people who use food banks do so out of desperation, not because they are lazy.
"Going to school to learn a new profession" .. not everyone can afford to do that.
And I know people with law degrees working at menial jobs.
It's hard to start a new business when you're broke and have mouths to feed.
Not all of us were born gifted or rich or smart or with parents who set a good example.
I think that you show little sympathy for people who have fallen on hard times.
Just being honest.
