Your brother and his children take proper steps to use the services as intended and will climb out of poverty. Many do not.

That indicates some sense of self-reliance.Maybe a little, but in my opinion mostly indolence.

People make choices. Choices have consequences. It is their lives. No violins here.

I’ve read countless sailing journals from folks touring in the South Pacific. A significant number of them have idyllic experiences until they dock in a US dependency. That’s when things start going missing from their boats.

A generation caught by a two-fer; technology and automation skewing the “blue collar” and high end job market away from skills everyone with just a high school degree trained for or had experience in, and illegal immigration lowering the average wage of all work on the low end, undercutting some of the self-help self-employed service industries that citizens use to do, for decent wages; industries now dominated by legal and illegal cheaper imported labor.

All over the country. But you have to have a marketable skill, be it computers, mechanics, electrical, finance, etc.
The days of making a living via unskilled labor are over.

When are they going to start parking their campers on the beach in LA like in the Lethal Weapon movies. Imagine a beat up old camper with a million dollar location.

Imagine a beat up old camper with a million dollar location Sounds like James Garner in the Rockford Files in the 1970s.

Instead of camping in a RV in
Los Angeles County, these folks should have camped in a tent by the Santa Ana River in
Orange County. Then they would have been provided with a taxpayer funded motel voucher.

1) Make it illegal to be an able-bodied vagrant
2) Bring back something like the Conservation Corps
3) Provide three hots and a cot and a minimum wage to all those who sign up
4) Keep them occupied with simple work such as clearing litter, clearing brush, making fire roads, prepping land for new freeways, picking crops, etc.
