I seen an advertisement on TV the other day about the fast and hard life that we are living. We in fact are living the easiest life humans have known. Long ago we had to grow, gather or hunt for our food. And of course prepare it.
With little exception most of us get food at a grocery store. Or eat out all the time. Very few of us grow and cook our own food.
Take shelter. Most own (I say own with a loan), rent, live with others or are provided housing through government programs. We did not build our housing. Our housing is a direct result of one of the above.
We also do not have to seek out fresh water. It is at our taps. We have a bathroom to perform hygiene. Water used to be a big thing for people to survive. Now we just get it out of own kitchen or bathroom sick. Water that is just as good for the most part as water that we could buy in plastic bottles. Plastic bottle water got cool during the first Gulf War. Which has been over for a while now.
Clothing is another staple. In our junky economy most bottom feeders are provided with at least shirts. We do however have to buy our own shoes and pants. We are lucky to get this.
If you are not able to provide food for you self we have SNAP or Food Stamps are they used to be called. You can load up for the month. If you do not use it up that is. But they are loaded up pretty good.
The ramifications of not giving out food stamps are large. The listless population would have to revert to crime. As they know nothing else. If I do not get it for free I will steal it. Not go to work.
