Wenn man in Deutschland in einem Sender einen Menschen einlaed, welcher sich zu Armut äußern soll, waere es hilfreich wenn Themen wie das SGBII nur angesprochen werden, sofern Expertise vorliegt.
Nicht "Beschämung" oder "fehlendes Wissen" führt dazu, dass es Millionen Menschen gibt, welche keine Leistungen nach dem SGBII beantragen, sondern aufgrund der Information ueber den Erstantrag wird bereits ersichtlich, dass mit Drohung gearbeitet wird.
Das #SGBII beinhaltet eine Ausrichtung als "Sozialgesetzgebung", wo es nicht mehr darum geht, dass die Lebensrealität der Menschen im Vordergrund steht, sondern stellt eine buerokratische Leistungsabwehr dar, weswegen die Arbeitslosenversicherung keinen Schutz bietet.
Today, in England, millions of voters make a choice in their #LocalElections2023. It’s a good time to share some new research that is related to two policy issues that will have touched many people over the last year: the #energycrisis & #crime.

In a nutshell, the paper shows that much of the widely reported surge in burglaries & anti-social behaviour could have been avoided, had the government provided more targeted energy price subsidies or had UK invested more in making homes more energy efficient. Last summer, ...

NHS privatisation, remove worker rights, bash unions further, reduce unemployment benefits EVEN FURTHER, deregulate the banks - they've already had a £1 BILLION tax cut, whilst the rest of us suffer..

This morning we saw something we will NEVER forget.
We were at the #Walmart in Southeast #Calgary. We were shopping for some groceries when my stepson saw someone take a package of meat and put it under their shirt and then slowly walk over to their cart. #Food #Hungry #Alberta

This person had very few things in their cart. My stepson knows what I do here at @HarvestHillsYYC & he asked if we could help them.
I said yes we could but that this person would feel ganged up on if we all walked over to them, so I told him to stay here and that I’d walk over.

I walked over to where they had their cart and said “I know what it is like to struggle. I would love it if you’d let me help you and I’d like to pay for your groceries.”
This person looked up at me and said “did you see me take the meat?” I said “yes I did. I’d like to help”.

Both parents lost their jobs during lockdown and waited 7 weeks to receive first payment of #UniversalCredit.
But they've been shocked at how low #UniversalCredit support is.

A.) Not gotten their AISH payment.

We are working as fast as we can to sort everyone who had asked us for help into our respective categories, and if we have permission from anyone to share a story about their situation we will. But until then all we can say is this:

On @Channel4News tonight: Food charities and industry tell government “Stop passing the buck” on responsibility for ensuring vulnerable people can get the food they need in a #NoDeal Brexit food crisis.” Pensioners, children in low-income families, people who are ill or disabled.
Government’s Yellowhammer #NoDeal Briefing says food prices could go up, serious delays and disruption to food supply. With 8.4m people in this country already food insecure, “What happens if demand for emergency food aid goes up? Whose job is it to step in?” asks @Channel4News
Serious concerns over food supply for vulnerable people in a #NoDeal Brexit shared by @UKSustain @FareShareUK @provtrade @FWDwholesale @IFAN_UK @CityHarvest_LDN - with no-deal price hikes and disruption now imminent @DWP must allocate hardship fund- long heralded, never confirmed
