Every single person who thinks work requirements are fair or SNAP benefits should read this.
Work requirements on basic safety net services directly harm the people they were designed to help.
"Finding independence" is jerk for "who cares if you are hurt & hungry"

It's easy for some people. It's not easy for others. There is a trade-off.
Is the goal to make it easier to access to capture the vulnerable, at the cost of a few "lazy" people?
Or
Is the goal to make it cumbersome even if there is a sacrifice of the vulnerable?

Do you think the person who wrote the article could have worked on a farm or in infrastructure? He had a fairly severe undiagnosed disability, many adults do and it is incredibly hard for them to survive, usually through no fault of their own.

I would guess at least half the time I am a lawyer of the day I run across one person in court that has some sort of undiagnosed disability that can easily lead to a criminal record, making survival harder. It can be cognitive impairment, mental illness, trauma, physical, etc.

I do agree we need better job opportunities. Some people truly cannot work and are considered "able-bodied" because they have not had the resources/ability to be declared disabled.
