Its a disaster and its so bad I cannot for the life of me understand why it was implemented so rigorously knowing full well that people will clearly suffer hardship

I think they used to deduct something like 60% of your earnings from what benefits you get or something, have they stopped that? I assumed that was to cover travel and other expenses?
