    Remember, if these trials can cause change then EVERYONE gets a little extra. And it’s cheaper than our current welfare system. AND it actually helps people instead of putting them in a place where getting help ends their desperately needed support. It’s a win for everyone except the “I struggled and so should you” crowd which means its an absolute victory for everyone that matters!

      What makes it worse, those people almost never actually struggled. Otherwise they may have learned to suffer some empathy.

        I’ve watched someone start to empathize and then talk themselves out of it so many times I’ve lost faith in someone’s ability to learn it.
