Obvious that a lot of folks in the tech community did not grow up a poor Appalachian boy.

Welfare is a plague.

I know so many people who did not work because it would cut into their welfare.

I know so many homes that lived lies (separate fake addresses, never marrying) so they could get welfare.

I've seen welfare programs (wic, food stamps) exchanged for cash..

I've seen emergency rooms abused with medical cards (something most yuppies do not even know exists --- most do not seem to know most poor people already get free healthcare).

It's a sad thing. Reality on the privileged persons terms, I guess.
