How did he support himself?
Every town has this character, if you have an addiction if there's a will theres a way
>>220741244As an unemployed alcoholic myself I scrap by on my Pension, Trillium Benefit, GST Rebate and Trust Fund.
>>220741292That doesnt look like "scraping by". I googled trillium benefit and its UBI-lite.
>>220741372It is barely scraping by because I spend a disproportionate amount of it on rent because I don't want to live in the slum part of town where I'll get jumped by teens on the way to the circle k.

>>220741244>How did he support himself?With his crutch (alcohol).
>>220741244You know drunks exist irl right? They don't do anything but drink, so their lifestyle isn't particularly expensive. Welfare and a part time mcjob
>>220741244What do you mean? The bar supports him fine
>>220741720Sneed
Uncslop goes down
>>220741244Clinton economic boom in the 90’s meant he could probably scrape by doing nothing and living on handouts
>>220742135I think that is too generous. The job market didn't really dry up until the 2000s. Before that since WW2, the demand for workers was high.While each decade is different, the amount of work a town drunk would need to support himself varies a lot. In this economy i can't image hopping from low end part time labor to another part time labor to stay float, but we are 2 decades into the economy drying up due globalization and PPP stagnation. . Yet there isn't a anachronism. You'd just work more dead end shifts at evening for a meat packing company, and be unable to hop jobs.
>>220741244He literally owns Barney’s bowlarama. His uncle basically runs the place since Barney is an unreliable alcoholic
>>220741244He knows which dogs to bet on at the race tracks.
>>220741244Do you not know any alcoholics? They literally just spend every cent on booze and let the debt collectors struggle to find anything for payments

My mom was a drunk and survived on government handouts. Turns out if you squirt out some kids and have a vagina it opens a lot of doors for you in the west. Through her I saw some other drunks (male) that got by doing unskilled manual labor odd jobs. Usually just paid a pittance to be conversation and pick up lunch, and living with roommates in trailer parks and such.
>>220741244Despite what the internet would have you believe drinking isn't THAT expensive. You could drink at a bar every day from open to close of you were drinking cheap beer and still have some money left over at the end of the month of you have a half decent job. Now if he had a coke habit, then it would be a different story
>>220742426>>220741431Exactly this, his brother pays his bills and supports him out of generosity.
>>220743438Reminds of this kino.
>>220743438$6 beers, 12 beers a night = $72 a day$72 * 30 days in a month = $2160It's actually a relatively cheap hobby
