    but you will not go bankrupt or become homless.

    Are you sure about that?

      Yes quite sure, if you are homeless you are so by choice. The government will provide for you, not unconditionally (you are required to look for a job or reeducate) but they will.

        What if you can’t work? It was more of a rethorical question, as I know from personal experience, you can be very close to homelessness very quick. The different agencies will tell you that another is resposible and you get nothing for a very long time.

        Yes it is a lot better rhan in the US and other places, but homeless people being homeless by choice is just not true and frankly a disgusting claim.

          Can you prove this is a systematic issue? I know various people who lost their job or had to claim IV and not one of these was at risk of loosing the roof over their head.

            I don’t have to prove anything, as an indovidual case invalidates your claim.

              No an individual case might be a mistake. You would have to proof a systematic behaviour of our government to prove that it does not usually work fine.
