@guccigash chris isn't schizo or anything like that. He's just waaaay into escapist shit because he knows he can't do much about his circumstances (without putting forth any effort to, anyway). He'd exploit the welfare system in any other country like he does now, and still beg online for toy money after the bills were paid by lying his ass off. He knows exactly what he does (if he doesn't it's because he's too dumb/ignorant to get into the meat and potatoes of it, because that means STRESS from effort).
Also if he had a social worker that worker would
A)troll him
B)try to skim from his tugboat
C)get sick of his shit and bail
He functions just fine, he's been looking for a place to live outside of 14BC on and off for a while and Barb's not even cold yet. Of course when the merge finally happens all his money problems will be solved and he'll be living in a large mansion filled with Sonichu funko pops.
This is the reality you've stumbled on.
