Oh for fuck’s sake get over yourself. You enter a forum in which you never posted before and DO become condescending pretty damn quickly. Now if anyone reads my paltry amount of posts, they’ll quickly see this is the FIRST time I’ve ever gotten snarky with someone.
When I said the thing about making it temporary AGAIN it comes from MY experiences. I take care of people and see people in neighborhoods every day that made poor choices. Well to be fair, some had choices snatched from them but that’s not a large percentage. I HATE seeing people tethered to the system because the system sucks. If people can get off, then I applaud them wholeheartedly. I support a better system that helps people get off instead of limited resources that keep you hooked on.
I hate telling my patients that “no, your medicaid won’t cover this, I’m sorry”. That sucks. So Ms. RedHead Whatever, if you took my words offensively and all that, well that’s your shit, not mine. I want better for people and you’re getting all huffy about it.

I’m proud of you. Really am. Want a medal? Or a cookie for being nice and caring? Ain’t gonna happen.
And as I read, I did happen to say that I do get condescending, did I not?
You want really condescending and judgmental? Fine.
You’re an entitled asshat with nothing better to do than look down your nose at people “less fortunate” and who " need your help" and that “you only want better for.” Take your sympathy and stick it. Telling people what happened in your experience is nice and all, but means a whole lot of jack shit. Your do-nothing “welfare queen” of a mother was an idiot, I got that. Her problems aren’t mine, and do not apply. Offering advice when you have no knowledge of the situation is ridiculous, pointless, and presumptuous.
If you’d read the post you had even been replying to, you’d have read the part about having “incomed out”, which means that we made too much money for the program. Which would imply that we are, in fact, working on improving the situation.
Of course, that would imply some sort of reading comprehension, something that some people around here seem to completely lack. At least one person got what I was going for, or perhaps if you hadn’t understood my on-the-fly creation of a term that doesn’t exist, you could have asked what I meant.
You, dear, are the worst sort of condescending. The sort that “understands” what we’re going through. You don’t. Because it is very easy to say “you should try and make your situation better” from the outside, because you have no fucking clue what it takes to do so. It’s easy to “support a better system” when you have absolutely no advice on how such a thing might be implemented or where the money to administer it would come from. Everyone supports a better system, but no one is willing to actually do anything about it. Much easier to bitch about people buying steaks with foodstamps. Then, at least, you get to be self-righteous about what YOU would do… since of course, YOU would never be in that situation at all.
