I’m so glad that this is getting some attention. It’s truly a wild policy to have and it’s pretty hard to defend - I’m not sure if any talking point could sell the idea that it’s okay, even to the most old school fiscal conservatives. I don’t want to be too optimistic, but I think if it’s more widely known about (hopefully??) it might be actually likely to change relatively soon. And that would mean an immense improvement in dignity and quality of life for a lot of people. Tempering my hopes, but I do feel some hope.
