Because they are constantly enabled, they expect everybody else to satisfy their needs and wants. I live in a small town, a block from the volunteer fire department. About every 2 weeks a semi with a 40ft trailer (with no markings) arrives as a 'mobile food bank'. They announce it on the local Facebook page, and fliers around town with dates of give-aways. People drive up and volunteers unload the trailer with boxes of food and put them in the trunks and back seats of cars. I've been here 8 months, and I have never seen anyone walk up to the food bank to get free food, yet. Most of the cars are alot nicer than my 1997 pickup.
Or at least go on welfare or do something. But no, these people just expect EVERYONE else to fix their problems for them. Ironically these same people would be the first to screw you over when they get out of their "rut", thinking they did it themselves without the help of others. I've seen it happen way too many times
Can White homeless guys get welfare?
BIL has his own insurance agency. Found out someone got a ham from our mobile food bank and went and grabbed a big box from them. He has 40 acres, bother he and his wife have $40k+ cars and they make six figures combined, and he still thought he was entitled to the free food.
The wife asked if we should go over and get some the first time we saw it. We're old and get social security. I told told her at the time that it's supposed to be for people who need it more than we do. I don't know where it comes from, but if it doesn't all get handed out it gets trashed.
