Once upon a time I remember a young fellow (about 8 or 10 yo) telling me that his dad couldn't work as they were on welfare. I had met his dad a few times and he seemed perfectly healthy and normal to me.

At that time, early '60s, I was living in Manitoba and people on welfare were not allowed to own a car. Fast forward about 30-35 years, I was living in British Columbia and people on welfare were allowed to have a car as it was considered a necessity, they even received an allowance for the car's gas and insurance.
