Hot take: Social security should pay for a moving company to help poor people to move - especially since they keep demanding that people move constantly to cheaper apartments while rents are rising.

Hot take: Social security should pay for a moving company to help poor people to move - especially since they keep demanding that people move constantly to cheaper apartments while rents are rising. That money would go instantly to building the economy, would unburden stress of the poor people (who are often disabled and don't have support systems to begin with), and get people moving in faster rate.
And people would not be in cycle of selling their things so they can move again.

Other hot take: there should be social security services where they come over to your place to help you declutter and take old items away to be recycled. That would help disabled people and people with no car to get stuff away and make things, like moving, easier.
Tho this would only work if the workers would not also secretly note everything you own in that process and then possibly report it so they can claim you have money stashed somewhere... Because some thing the poor can't have things.

Even hotter take: Social security should never tell poor person to "just sell your furniture so your items can fit into a tiny van" when YOU DON'T GET SUPPORT TO GET REPLACEMENT FURNITURE.
Poor people should be allowed to have durable, lasting furniture and not need to sell it (down low because remember - sometimes ss stalks your facebook sales an counts that as earnings!) in order to be able to move and possibly save for it too.

Note: Finnish social security pays UP TO 130€ (on a good day, for very good reasons only) for poor person to move. That doesn't pay gas, van, and movers. It maybe pays two of those and you are fucked if you have a disability and can't lift heavy things or do moving yourself.
In our area proper moving company with all three (depending of your haul) costs around 500-1000€.
And you are not allowed to save for this in legimate manner.The system is rigged to harm us.

I would PAY to see our governent officials do their own moves with that 130€ while downsizing and with the monthly budget of unemployed people while all their cars and assets are frozen - and without a single person to help them except maybe their significant others (if they have any).
That would make some good reality TV.

@hiisikoloart Nuclear meltdown take:
Social security should seek to preserve the resources that applicants still have.
Not force them closer to nothing. -

(I'm sure there are différences in services and availability, but when I moved some 20 kilometres last year the moving companies quoted prices from 200€ to 1000€, for the same amount of service.)
