I'm against people that grab every handout. People that work the system take resources from those that really need them and should be cut off and/or prosecuted for fraud.
Our whole system needs to be overhauled so people who need help get ample help to actually help them, not just sustain a poverty existence.
I think subsidised internet for those truly in need that can't afford it is a necessity in this day and age, especially for those in remote places looking for work.
