When Families Need Housing, Georgia Will Pay for Foster Care Rather Than Provide Assistance

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a WABE and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing.

"I have been to hospital 4 times in the past few weeks. I am in near constant either pain or panic and am alone with no family or anyone nearby."

ginny is an orphan and a survivor of nazi harrassment, anything helps!

Being poor now just leads to being more poor later.
Can't pay to clean your teeth? Next year, pay for a root canal. Can't pay for a new mattress? Next year, pay for back surgery. Can't pay to get that lump checked out?
Next year, pay for stage 3 cancer. Poverty charges interest."

As Homo selfishens breaches more planetary boundaries (climate #disruption being just one of those) the #results will show up not just via adverse #weather events but through serious# economic disruption. That will include worsening inflation, #supplychain problems, #crop# failures, and debt default. The result will be increasing inequality, #poverty and #crime.

Conventional economics will attempt to explain these in the usual hand-waving terms, and fail.

Angry #citizens will, as always, blame the incumbent #government. In #democracies this will lead to pointless lurching from left to right and back again, with – very likely – a gradual trend towards #autocracy. In non-democratic nations, it’ll lead to a rapid clampdown on human #rights and #dissent. The end result, in either case, is #dictatorship.

To that mix, add the increasing problem of mass #migration from #tropical states that are failing #economically as well as gradually becoming unlivable due to climate disruption, and we have the perfect recipe for #violent #unrest in coming #decades.

Any #planning for a viable future must surely take this into account and try to #educate the wider #public; if we do that we might ameliorate the worst of it.

If we fail, the future is #fascism.

‘A Little Book of Insurgent Planning’

As we collapse, this free online book provides examples of what action we can take collectively. Taken from academic literature, it’s about how we struggle together as the world we have depended up…
