Matt shrugged, but at the same time, he mentally laid some cards on the table. "We've got to get off the government tit," he pointed out. "Means rent, food, transportation, utilities, at the basics. No one's got a really good job - it's a bunch of unemployed and half-employed people who could be fired at any fucking minute for their genes. Same time, if we don't get away from the government, I don't see how to turn this group into what it needs to be. And if they won't come, fuck them, I'll go find the people who will do it, you know? So we need cash to stay alive."
