Well, why don’t you take the opportunity to let everyone here benefit from your experience and tell us what effective help in such situations might look like?
Because it sounds like you’re still arguing for just letting them steal what they need if they can’t afford it.
They should steal what they need, as long as it’s from big corporations and not from other struggling people. Because I cannot change the system, so stealing is the only option.
And help can be in the form of donating to the food bank, volunteer at the salvation army, or like me, help out at the neighborhood community house to help people with doing taxes, request subsidies like child support and apply for the food bank, provide homeless people with warm clothing during the cold months, etc. I also help with a soldering club, to repair broken devices so people don’t have to buy new ones or refurbish discarded devices which will be donated to people in need.
In my city there are many social systems to help people. I help people use these systems. If your city/country doesn’t have systems like these, you can help by setting them up with foundations.
A group is as strong as the weakest link. If we ensure the weak will have a better life, the entire group (our society) will profit from it with less substance abuse, less crime, better quality of life, heath and and safety. Improving quality of life starts at the bottom, not at the top.
