How TF do these people live for years in poverty and not have the motivation to better themselves to climb out?

do volunteer casework. If charities didn't set limits, 5% of the clients would suck up 95% of the resources.

Most people come once, or occasionally. Then you get one or two who hit up charities for a living and would show up every day if they could. You'd think hunger would be a motivator but for some people it isn't.

This is why a massive welfare state is a long term failure.

It’s not that easy, especially without any support from family etc and extra especially if you have people depending on you.

Bingo on the Sec 8 mindset and you know who they vote for the peeps giving out the hand outs….if your section 8 for more than 12mos you shouldn’t get a vote and have to show you actively are job seeking a full time job to better yourself vs just do less and leach off tax payers who do work!

They've done numerous studies of successful people and the #1 factor is their ability to pass on short term things for a bigger payoff later.

Scarity mindset is sort of the exact polar opposite of that.
