Too many things to click, but we just don't pay enough here for services, period. The quality of services leave some to be desired too.

Free oil anyone? Can't believe it.
Yep free oil, IF your below poverty line and run out of oil then you recieve a few days worth as a bridge until a government program kicks in to prevent you from freezing. Its some people's attitudes that cant be believed.
I liked Lenz's idea give them the oil to keep from freezing but make them work off the "loan" by volunteering in town.

parameters and who'll check up on their finances/ability etc.
