It makes me sad that disabled and elderly people feel trapped, there's not much they can do to earn a living due to disabilities and age, but honestly, I don't feel for the able bodied people who have been there for 2 years and have done nothing to help themselves. There are help wanted signs everywhere lately, many places can't even fill positions so there isn't any excuse to not have a job 2 years later. The article says they are waiting for something that never comes? What are they waiting for? They have to go out and make it happen through hard work. Not sit back and wait for someone to walk you back home. Life doesn't work that way.
