That's their choice in personal lifestyle. If one chooses to be dependent on the gov't, what're you gonna do about it?

My wife and I were ordered by the sheriff's dept to evacuate due to a wildfire several years ago. I told the deputy "thanks for the information and your concern" but we'll leave when we decide it's appropriate. He said, "Fine. I hope you get out in time because no one will be here to help you." We knew that and understood that and we were prepared to accept the consequences of not abandoning our home.

Not everyone will accept the premise they are responsible for their lives. Unfortunately.
