Waiting in line for social services in East Orange

Hundreds of people waited outside the East Orange Economic Development building on Tuesday, which has offices for social services, including food stamps. The building was overflowing with people and many - even the elderly - are being left in the cold because the building is overcrowded. Fire officials have had to turn people out of the building because of fire codes. (Video by William Perlman/The Star-Ledger)

No wonder these people don't work. They can't even stand in line for a couple hours to collect thier free shit without complaining. If that's too hard for them to handle they would never make it in an actual work environment. I'm not saying all of them but most of them are simply too damn lazy.

You have to love the arrogant, self entitled mindset of these people. 99% are life long system soakers.

the reason theres so many people are waiting art a welfare line is because half of them are abusing the system. more than half those people are healthy and are more than capable of getting a job. dont get me wrong theres also people there who are too old/disabled to work but for fuck sakes those lazy bastards who are taking advantage of it need to go out and get a job already!!!

Some are disabled, some have run out of unemployment insurance. And in case you didn't know, there are very few jobs out there right now.
