There aren't many places begging for volunteers that are picky. I'm sure there might be a couple but it is rare.
And you know this how? I've done volunteer work, several times, and I was prescreened before they accepted me, because they have liability insurance to worry about just like a private concern.
Yes or they can find local help from a charity. If they can't meet life's requirements because they decide to drink then they can live with the consequences.
Most 'local charities' have long been reporting increased demand for their services, and too few resources to begin to cover the need.
There are plenty of complaints about corporate welfare.
Nowhere near as many as complaints about the benefits for the poor. Also no new laws created to reduce those benefits, while federal and state laws have been reducing aid [or just saying no] for more than a decade.
He didn't try if he's getting fired for a drinking issue. How can he "usually"get fired for his record? Was he committing fraud and lying on his application? The idea that a company would knowingly hire a person with a record and waste money training them just to be able to fire them really makes no sense at all. There are plenty of people with criminal records that make a legal living.
What info I have on the reasons for his job losses are third hand, and neither his supervisors nor he himself always tell the truth. What I do know is that he tried for many years to be gainfully employed, [always with smaller companies, where someone might give a guy with stubs for fingers a chance to prove himself - large corporations aren't so willing to gamble on people. Except the C suite ones.] before the drinking got to be a problem. Maybe someone just didn't like his face, and that's reason enough.
It's his fault so now he can deal with his poor choices.
The loss of his fingers wan't a "choice", it was a substandard restraint on the punch press he was operating, the manufacturer of which had gone bankrupt, so nobody was legally liable for his loss. Before that, he worked, after, he couldn't get work. Many, many years of being repeatedly rejected is more than anyone can handle without some form of self destructive behavior creeping in. Even I wouldn't let him starve, and truth be told, I don't like him one little bit. But I understand what caused his transition from productive person to worthless semi drunk, and that [the injury] was absolutely not his fault.
Where do you see people excusing the well off that repeatedly cheat and break laws? There is definitely some ignorance in the general public about certain things that go on but no one was crying for these guys that ended up with massive sentences after getting caught running Ponzi schemes.
I see it every day in the news, especially the financial section, where major companies are fined for breaking the law, by the SEC, and other federal agencies. Most have a history of such violations and fines, but they continue to do business as usual. The recent Pilot/Flying J disgrace is a good example: did Haslam go to jail? Did anyone? I read the transcripts of [secretly] recorded convos where the 'suits' thought it hilarious that the poor suckers [small fleets & O/Os] were being robbed blind, and didn't have a clue. Those people belong in jail, same as the bankers who nearly brought the whole country down, but were "too big to fail". Why are they not only not in prison, but are still being paid megabucks for their 'performance'?
Is he homeless? Does he have a phone? Who's paying for the alcohol, clothing, etc? Someone must be subsidizing his life and if they are that interested in letting him continue down the wrong path and not forcing him to grow up then they should handle all his food and medical care too. Why should that burden be forced onto other people?
