So I'm watching the news the other day and on came a story about hundreds of people that showed up early in the morning at a distribution site to be one of the lucky few dozen to receive an application for government housing assistance on a first come first serve basis. Two sound bites were presented to us, one from a black woman and one from a black man.
Woman: I got here at six in the morning to make sure I got one of these applications (paraphrased)Man: "People will show up before 8 am to get a handout but won't show up to get a job." (Exact quote)
The man has a point. An excellent point. If you have the ability to show up at 6am looking for a handout, you have the ability to go looking for a job. I know. There's no reason to look for a job when you have the ability to stand in line at six am and have free money given to you.
