Naturally I got assisted + took a subsidized loan which I split for damn forever, but I still had to pay rent for our apartment and I could not go far because my mother was already of quite advanced age and alone.
Basically, I had to work, because otherwise we'd have no money for basic shit.
But the point is - if I frikkin' made it, anyone can, yet you see people in droves not lifting a finger to pull themselves out of dirt and expecting people to come over and clean their snotty noses and spoonfeed them. If one is content with doing shit menial labor and not doing two shits about it, then it's their problem and not of evil governments or "capitalism" or shit like that.
