The most important skill set is the ability to put food on the table,

I know how to get food from the three food banks in this area.

buy the things one needs,

What does anyone really need except food and shelter?

It would be nice if I could afford to hire somebody to check my
laptop computer to diagnose whether the modem stopped working
because the modem hardware has gone bad, or the Linux software
driver has some bug that has it software-wedged, or the power
supply is bad allowing the CPU to creep along but not the modem, or
what. But a new modem isn't something I **need** to be alive.

There's a Goodwill store around the corner from here, a half block
away, and I bought some pants there, to replace the ones that had
huge holes in the knees. And my shoes got so old the tread on the
bottom was coming loose and falling off, so a week ago I bought new
shoes for $15 at Target, maybe that was something really **needed**
since I could hardly even walk in the old shoes.

My TV is almost totally non-working, especially in Winter when the
air is cold (I missed more than three months of the new season of
"24" that started in January, just caught the last two episodes now
that my TV is working more reliably again, couldn't watch the
SuperBowl at all but managed to watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday,
and West Side Story for the first time ever last night on KQED).

and one does this by any means necessary.

Like I said, the food banks, and subsidized housing for low-income
people. And for my TV, I've learned what time of day to turn it on
so that it will work a couple hours later after it's warmed up.
Also there's free bread in the first-floor kitchen almost every
Sunday evening shortly after 7PM, leftovers from a bakery in
Cupertino.

I know people fall on hard times and either you're telling the truth or you're pulling my leg.
