And he said the guy from Afghanistan was telling him about his experience.
He'd been flown from Afghanistan by the US government, first to Virginia, then moved to Sacramento, given a house.
They stocked his fridge.
the guy he couldn't didn't know which bit of the government and it was uh and the guy was told we would we're going to send you groceries by delivery because you shouldn't go to the grocery store because americans are racist and you shouldn't go like imagine that the government saying anyway he's then he's there he's working as the shuttle driver he says to the guy after two days can i go uh can you pay me cash
And he said, why do you want to do that?
I said, well, if I'm on payroll, then I lose my benefits, my welfare benefits.
How much is that?
$7,000 a month.
