John Refior<p>I’ve often complained that when the US “ended welfare as we know it” (in 1996) no one kept track of what happened to the people who were on welfare. How many lost their apartments? Became drug addicts? Went to jail? Died?</p><p>There’s no doubt in my mind all of these things happened as a consequence. But we’ll never know the numbers. People with money and power didn’t want to talk about it. They didn’t want to know.</p><p>🧵 1/x<br>--<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inequality</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WorkRequirements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkRequirements</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FoodStamps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoodStamps</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TANF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TANF</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/uspolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspolitics</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usa</span></a></p>
