It’s been said that the “foot” was originally defined as the length of some monarch’s foot….

Before government crowded them out of the “ market” they were….in some form.
Could have been financial assistance, means tested, or just direct help.
I remember when I was 10 (1976) my friends very devout family had voluntarily taken in a drug addict into their home, at the behest of their church.
They had the guy living in my friends brothers room, who had relocated to my friends room for the time.
I can still smell the cigarettes they actually let him smoke in there….

It’s not helping people that pisses us off, it’s the systemic, totally game-able version of it that we pay for and have no say over how it functions.
It’s unfair to the payers and creates generational “ dependency “ for the recipients.
The churches are, or were anyway…IDK…a much better option for assisting those who truly need it.

If that’s what you’re getting out of NAS I would suggest working on your block list….

Some people, not all.
The cigarette tax stopped some people too but certainly not all.

Our “new” one is a shell of its former self.
The old anchor stores out of business and the new ones come and go.
Our “old” or original indoor mall broke up into separate outdoor storefronts a few years after the “new” mall was built.
Trader Joe’s and Sportsman’s Warehouse are at the old location and the only reason I ever go there.
I haven’t been inside the new one for years.

Hard to say whether the bobbing up and down is the camera person walking or the poor, tortured frame of that 3 wheeler flexing.

My point was that we are given the freedom to choose to damn ourselves.
Anyone seeking to convince us we have no free will, or worse, seeking to subvert that free will is Satanic.
