We are from different societies, but I can tell you what the situation is here.

Welfare is livable, if you are willing to not spend it excessively. Most of the welfare people get here goes toward rent and then the EBT/SNAP subsidized foods.

However, at some point, people need jobs to have any decent standard of living. Much as I hate jobs, that's the economic reality.

However, before we had excessive taxation, you could live for $500 a month here... and people routinely did. That was a better time.
