This is such a tragic situation.
I am an English man with an american girlfriend with 2 children. She has just lost her job and it seems like there is no help from the state, which to me is astounding.
In britain we believe everyone should have a safety net to help them through the tough times. we argue as to how much it should be, but in general we all accept that these are people we are taling about. And people will always be more important than things, businesses or money.
So I pay a little more tax than you, and people like my girlfriend can get a little help with rent, and food, and fuel and medicine.
I dont know how the system works in the states, and I really wish I were there to help her. Im scared for her children. Please, if anyone knows what would happenif she loses her flat. please post it here quickly.
