Discussion on Government Assistance and Community

How many hours a day are you reading?

Is it, like, below 10 hours?

No, no, for sure not.

More than 10 hours?

Yeah, yeah.

That's a lot of time.

Yeah.

So let me get this straight. So we can pay for these Jews

to sit in this underground synagogue and read this

fucking book all day, but nobody wants to pay for

me to sit in my room and play video games all day.

How the fuck does this work?

This is bullshit.

Time go- when you do something fun, so time goes in a fun way.

Are you trying to memorize the whole book?

Yeah, I'm trying to memorize the theme of the

book.

Are you from Israel originally?

Yeah, I'm from the Holy Land.

You live here.

I'm here a f- a few years, yeah.

What will you do for a living after a couple of years from now?

God is gonna provide the money. We don't have to worry about that.

It's every-

God is gonna provide the money. Huh, wow.

Okay, cool. Well, that's convenient

... thing's gonna work out.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Lots of people, they worry about all the money, money,

money, then they get, they

get locked into something pursuing that.

They receive religious education-

Yeah

... in this building from 7:30 AM until 9:30

PM.

They-

7:30 in the morning to 9:00 at night, and

all they do is hang out and talk about being Jews?

Holy shit, man.

That's the charity box.

Charity box.

Before you pray, you're supposed to give some charity.

Look at all these charity boxes.

All of them.

These are all different organizations, schools.

Um-

And this is a big charity box.

Look at that.

This is a different place.

So nobody works.

Nobody works.

A family of 10 that meets the criteria could receive around

$26,160 in food assistance.

$26,000

for just food?

And $13,600 through the Child Tax Credit.

Medicaid coverage for a household of that size may also have an estimated

value-

Ah

... of around $75,000 per year.

Holy shit

Altogether, for 10 people living under one roof,

the combined value of

public benefits and healthcare coverage may amount to more than $100,000-

We're paying for this shit?

... dollars per year.

Like, if you look at the data by zip code, then you can see, like, there's a

very high reliance on government services.

Holy fuck.
