Absolutely agree.
To make america great again, like some people seem to want, well you need to make sure anyone can have a proper roof on a low salary. If by working 40h a week your are guaranteed a roof all will be fine.
Otherwise be ready to see much more riot, looters, criminality, etc...
1000 bucks to rent a room, I know someone who does that in the Scar for quite a bit less
500 for food but its less for me
Say another 500 for a bus pass, and the nudie bar... you know essentials.
Minimum wage at 15K, minus taxes. Done.
As employers are still begging for workers I guess all those homeless people will just shrug off their disabling mental illnesses and severe addictions and get to work.
You shit out kids, the government gives you an extra what is it, 6K a year?
Oh wait, no shit ain't like that. Homeless maternal fuckers are still around. Criminal scumbags still prey on innocent folk.
I'd hazard a guess that most riots, criminality etc are actually from people who have places to stay.

"At first you may think that the tough times of the Great Depression would cause people to turn to crime, however, that wasn't necessarily the case. Although there aren't a lot of crime statistics from the era, most historians agree that crime rates did not increase during the Great Depression. Some suggest that crime even went down. This may have been because so many people were hard up, they were less likely to steal from each other. "
And remember, back then the wealfare net was much weaker as was wealth levels in general.
There is absolutely no poverty based reason to riot and engage in crime, it's just a bullshit justification to excuse shit behavior and justify expanded government programs. It's rather dishonest like claiming "support the troops" isn't actually "shut the fuck up about the war". If you want to justify an expansion of the social welfare state, maybe provide real reasons, this whole we have to give criminal scumbags money or they will rob us is just bullshit. It's also justifying extortion. Instead of giving in to extortion, arrest or even shoot the mother fuckers. Extortion is a scumbag thing when the Mafia does, it is when people who are not in criminal orgs do it also.
If you need some help in a more morally sound and honest approach in advocating for a bigger welfare state may I suggest

He teaches out of UoT so his books should be avalable at your local library, if not, than via inter library loan.
Oh I know. TO solve the homeless situation, lets completely decriminalize prostitution and bring in medical prostitution for fat dudes. Mandate that all libraries have full collections of pen and paper RPG books and provide places to play with snacks. Yeah.. sure that will solve the problem.
