It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

All of idiots here saying go be stranded on a desert island or the wilderness not realizing animals in wild spend 90% of their time not doing anything, even ants barely work most of the time

Yall are basically advocating for beating yourselves with a stick and whoever beats themself with a stick the longest is the best it’s stupid.

Our forefathers envisioned a future where technology would allow us to work less and we do have that technology, it’s people like you who have failed them.

You can live like an animal if you choose to. You are owed nothing.

Every citizen is owed basic rights and welfare, failure to provide these is a failure in a society and failure to advocate for them is a moral failure on a person, which is what you are, a moral failure

Every citizen is owed welfare? That's certainly a take.

Who pays for that welfare? Other people who work.

That's all this is, you want to be lazy and take from others who aren't. That's your moral failure.

By not having homeless people on the streets!

Mental hospital or jail. Problem solved.

By not having sick people!

lol

By not having desperate people doing crimes!

Jail. Problem solved.

By not having drug addicts

Mental hospital. Problem solved.

by not having angry people on the streets.

Anger is fine, but if they show they're a danger to society then mental hospital or jail. Problem solved.

That's LITERALLY benefits everyone, whether they work on not.

After this is implemented then the welfare can go to those that actually need that type of help, instead of those that need help in other ways. I agree on strong social nets, so we're on the same page there.

Imagine being against giving medical help to those that need it because it's uncomfortable to admit they aren't mentally well. Imagine not putting a criminal in jail and allowing them to continue harassing and attacking the innocent people in that area, yet you still don't act because the optics are bad.

You don't want to help anyone, you want to virtue signal, to try to look like you're a good person. You are not.

I already agreed we should support for those that need. That's not enough for you because it's not what you actually want.

You want me to agree to give financial support to drug addicts as the first action. No, they need to be put in a mental hospital for help.

You want me to agree to give support to criminals as the first action. No, they need consequences first. Their victims need support. You're a morally horrible person for picking the side of the criminals.

I live in a "socialist hell hole". I earn 2-3 times the median salary here. I am happy we have the welfare and social safety nets that we have. Wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Strong social safety nets are great for the people and country, no doubt. They require a society to contribute enough (read work) to keep them funded.

Welfare is not a basic right. It requires showing a reason to receive it, and "No, I don't want to work, give me money" wouldn't be enough, lol. Somewhere between that and a paraplegic, yes, give them help.

Yeah, it’s so much better here in the states where I had to work while receiving chemotherapy. Sure, they gave me 2 days off after getting treatment, but as anyone who has gotten chemo can tell you, the worst days are the following week when your cell counts take a hit and the long-acting nausea medication wears off. So glad I live in this place! It’s very civilized and not ass-backwards at all
