In the US they let poor people have a debit card that they can only use for food. If you become employed you are supposed to be dropped from the program. Then if you lose your job, you have to re-apply.
There would be simpler ways to do this. But they are not trying to solve the problem they say they are trying to solve. They want to be able to track people. They want the people without work to grovel for handouts. And they want the people who have jobs to feel lucky, protective, and ungenerous.
We are playing a game in which individuals can be easily manipulated because of their live-or-die attachment to their bodies.
