We went to one home, a young lady needed help with her rent. Her home was nice and clean, however, she had a television in all 3 bedrooms, all her kids had cell phones, however, she was behind on her public assistance rent and utilities.
It's odd that someone on PA is allowed to pay rent themselves. In NYC, the agency directly pays the rent to the landlord. But in this case you described, it isn't TV's and cell phones that's her problem. She likely has wasteful habits that her money is going on. This can be a freeloading boyfriend, cigarettes, alcohol, etc...

And also, when a PA recipient is behind in rent, legally, the agency has to pay that rent. At least that's how it is in NYC. In fact, this protection is available to all New Yorkers whether they're on PA or not. If somebody balls up their rent money, they can go to their local PA office and get the money. So if she were in NY she wouldn't have to turn to a private funding resource to save her house or utilities even if she is a irresponsible person. Which is why NY doesn't allow PA recipients to pay rent themselves.
In Dallas, sometimes you pay a portion of your rent. She didn't have her portion (she received child support), and didn't pay her utilities. She had a man, yes, so why is she behind on anything?

These two are contradictory in nature. Either the PA renter pays a portion, and they're behind, or the agency pays all the rent, and pays slow..

The PA you're speaking of is emergency situtations. They don't just go around paying rent for anybody, just because...**I looked up PA in NYC**

New York public assistance.
Public assistance programs and services are available in New York for low income families and others who need help. Most of the assistance is focused on those faced with an emergency. Typically short term cash assistance can be provided at the same time as longer term self-sufficiency and case management services. The New York Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance is one of the leading organizations to contact.


Assistance like this, used to come from churches or charities..

In NYC, the PA agency has to pay the rent of a person whose behind and facing eviction, providing that the person goes to the agency in time. And yes, they will want proof of your income, but legally, they cannot allow that person to lose their apartment if they went to the agency in time before the eviction takes place. And sometimes this assistance is still granted to those not facing eviction.

Like in the case of a friend of mine. She held out her rent because her landlord was an asshole who refused to fixed the gas line in her kitchen so that she can cook on her stove. She went for nearly a year without cooking on her stove, which is the time it took for her to sift through the red tape of the city and find the right forces to make El Asshole fix her gas line. But she didn't save the rent and spent it up and didn't have it to pay when her gas finally got fixed. She wasn't facing eviction, but went to the local PA office and got the money, because legally, NY cannot allow a person to loose their home if they go the right agency for help before it's too late.

Now another friend of mine lost her apartment balling up her rent because she was ordered by a housing judge out of the premises. Apparently, because she didn't go to PA for the money, and once a judge tells you to start packing, PA is off the hook and don't have to do anything to save your place. She fucked around and let the bridge collapse from under her.

Realistically,

Child support for the poor is an unfunny joke. The bloke is probably paying no more than 25 bucks a month. And this other bloke in her life is likely a freeloader living off her. He's sleeping in her house for free and eating up her food. And on top of that, she's probably supporting his habits too. Like beer and cigarettes. The fact that's she's behind indicates that her boyfriend is not helping her financially but draining whatever she has. That $25 joke of monthly child support is going toward beer and cigarettes.

Australia doesn't have greedy politicians, or racists individuals in government positions.
How do you figure that?
Well not greedy enough to block a $15.00 minimum wage. We can't get our politicians to pay $8.00.

Minimum wage in America has been 7.25 for a long time, that's a darn shame.

Well you can relocate to say Denmark,

Which according to the chart is $21 per hr, or France which is $12.35 per hour. But your living conditions there will be considerably different, lower, than where you are now in America. For starters, you'd have a one or two room flat so small that you probably couldn't put a toaster or blender in the kitchen, it would be a walk up, and you wouldn't be able to afford whatever recreational activities you have now in the US, and the cost of food and every other daily need will be higher than what you pay in America.

So you see, that higher wage is matched with a higher cost of living.

As I explained previously, a minimum wage is calculated by the wealth, mass, and resources of a country, and the richer the country and the greater it's mass, the lower it's minimum wage because it has a larger populace and help programs to keep it moving because no country can provide gainful employment to all of it's citizens. So the richer countries with larger populations have lower minimum wages and help resources. And the smaller countries with lower populations and fewer resources has a larger minimum wage because that country's volume is different. So a higher minimum wage doesn't mean that the people there are living better than those in the lower minimum countries.

Simply put,

You can move to a foreign country for higher wages, but your life there will still be a struggle.

No way.

He is not only there for sex. People automatically assume that sex is the first and foremost thing a man asserts, but it's not. He actually looks for his basic needs first, which isn't sex. Which are his daily survival needs such as food, shelter, intoxication, and cigarettes. Dick may be all he's providing, but that's certainly not why he's there.

Here,

I bothered to look up the cost of living in Denmark and found that I was right. Their $21 minimum wage is matched by a much higher cost of living. Much higher. Here are some of the examples....

The grocery index is 26% more than United States. Real Estate prices including buying and renting is 3 times more than the United States. Restaurant prices are 2 times more than the United States. Basic utilities is 49% more than the United States. Clothing and shoes is 4 times more than the United States. And cinema ticket prices are 65% more than the United States. So I was right that you wouldn't be able to afford the recreations on the minimum wage in Denmark that people are enjoying in the US. And the overall local purchasing power for your dollar is 39% more in the United States than Denmark.
