[lbo-talk] Guy tried what Ehrenreich did in Nickel & Dimed, finds it's no problem, doesn't know what big deal is

Sorry, did I say he had $2,500 US in savings? I mean
"almost $5,000"(!!!). In 10 months. Plus a pickup and
and an apartment. His next job, I bet, will be on the
motivational speaker circuit.

Interestingly, he did use food stamps along the way.
If he "really" didn't need them, isn't that sorta ...
fraud-y?
