It’s usually cheaper& more efficient to simply make sure people have what they need but we’ve developed a twisted ideology that says austerity is, if not more cost effective (usually isn’t over medium/long term), then it’s morally improving. This is supposed to be “realism,” nevermind it’s not true.

"Women accounted for 100 percent of the decline in the labor force in July, according to a National Women’s Law Center analysis of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s latest dismal jobs report. Overall, the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July: Women lost 32,000 jobs, while men gained 9,000."
