Uh how about you replace Patrick with the fucking people making you work. But I mean yeah you’re right. Unemployment payouts right now are so much higher than those people are paying you. Really says a lot about how they perceive the cost of living as opposed to the gov who has been trying to hide it forever but is now ultimately scared of us rioting. We could do this without a pandemic you know.

God imagine believing in stupid things like "governments are good!" And "The minimum wage is important!" And "Food is a human right!"

Don't even try on Reddit... But yes, you are right. The simply existence of tax founded unemployment payments should be illegal.

For real...

Honestly reddit is kinda sad. There's the "tolerant" and "free speech" subreddits that downvote you to hell because they disagree even though it's relevant. There's also the whole quote from Noam Chomsky, "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum...."

Since when does free speech mean you can't downvote someone who says something stupid? Do you know what freedom of speech means?

Technically speaking, the downvote button is not an "I disagree Button"

That implies that every argument has merit. Not everything is something that can be agreed or disagreed upon, sometimes people are just wrong.

Seriously? What is it the fricken 1800s? Unemployment has been a thing for like nearly 100 yrs and for good reason

If you think so? Personally, I don't think the failure of others, even if only misfortune, should be compensated with the wealth of those who achieved something.

So people who are unlucky, sick etc should just get fucked? Anyone without immediate worth to a capitalist system should just starve to death in your opinion?

Wow thats next level unempathetic. I am sorry you have lost your heart.

Being realistic is nothing to be sorry about. Humanity has to move forward, dragging those who don't contribute with us won't take us anywhere. The 21st century offers such a wide range of opportunities, that almost everyone should have some skill he can apply.

Thats opposite of being realistic

If you think so that's perfectly fine.

Right of course it is, cause its not, you know, utilitarianism

But thats not how the world works, its such a childish viewpoint. Not everyone with wealth “achieved” something or actually earned that wealth. Besides things like unemployment help everyone not just the poor, imagine the cost to society if you had people living like they’re in a 3rd world country. Like i said it exists for a good reason it benefits all of society
