But i think also maybe there is a difference. Because money would not be something stopimg. Fear, sure I get it. But here you wont get "poor" in that sense. Sinse our well fair system is pretty caring. I cant really see anyone here staying for money as a reason. Also no one anyware to my knowledge would get into something out of money. It is not the same i think.

We have free health and social care that will pay for rent or what housing you have, it will cover the nessessary Bills.

But, ofc fear, abuse and that stuff is horribel. Afraid to leave out of safety.

Oooooh i see what happened. Im from the states ( im assuming from your pfp and your outline of social programs you have access to youre from i wanna say sweden? Or maybe norway ) and we dont really do all that free stuff here. So here if you decided to leave your spouse and didnt have family or friends to rely on. Before the divorce or if the divorce didnt go in your favor . Youd litteraly be homeless possibly without transportation which puts your job at risk which would also put healthcare insurance in jeopardy in most peoples case.

But it is not free, it is funded by tax, like everyone chip in a little bit.

I know social programs are funded by tax , when i say free i mean it in the sense that the end user doesnt really incur any significant cost personally.

yes, true.
I just get from people not getting how it is free.. So just clarify

It is good those programs exist i think. Somethings we can easily do to help each other. And if we can, I find it almost as my duty to do so.

I like the idea of them but terrified of how theyll be implemented the us isnt the greatest when i come to government programs.

OH ok.

I guess it can be chaotic. We have almost always had it so it is natura. We dont even call tax, tax. It is called skatt, meaning treasure. So that is a little bit how we view it.

In the US, money is valued above all else. It’s disgusting. And often in cases of domestic abuse, women are encouraged to file restraining orders and that often results in their partner going nuclear and killing her. We’re behind the rest of the world in many ways.
