I Met Two Waitresses Last Evening - a Point about Economics

[pknopp]

The person who defrauds the social safety net gets demonized.

As do many others.

 

[Muhammed]

As do many others.

Not really, except for isolated cases.

Of course brainwashed communist morons will demonize Coke.

People play the hand they are dealt.

The poor exploit social benefits for the most benefit
The wealthy exploit the tax code to maximize benefits

The only difference is the wealthy have a team of accountants and attorneys to make sure they don’t get caught.

And working in ones 60s is not winning either. So there is no winning or anything to really look forward to. Reality.

you would have to go there IIFM..... .~S~

I worked a seasonal job when I was in my 60s and it wasn`t unusual for me to hear a zoo visitor tell me that they would do what I was doing for free. Of course, I did 35 years in a steel mill prior to that. Working for a non-profit zoo doesn`t pay well, but the full-time zoo employees were union. They didn`t get paid a lot, but their benefits package was better than most. Working there was "winning" for me.

It is if you love your work.

Why did we pump billions and billions into the markets? People were depended on it.

Was it ultimately a good thing to do it?

Yep. Reality is teality.

 

[pknopp]

No. All the same is that the point? I say it's a good thing to help the poor.

And we do that by providing Pell Grants so they can train for a career, and give them free health care and food while they do that.

Giving free stuff to people unwilling to work is not a poverty fighting strategy.

It is a strategy to kerp people dependent by making their poverty more comfortable.

Helping people who need help

Nobody ever was better off by receiving less

Well at least we do that. Starting out at 50 thousand per year is no way to live. So you are correct. Get trained and find a job i. A field one can use against their employers. Rise up in a year or two.

More than that, it’s a strategy to keep them voting Democrat.

Who worked for the billions pumped into the markets?

You've never met a spoiled child?

 

[pknopp]

We have one as president.

Same answer as for social welfare: if it is just handed to them, what incentive do they have to work for it?

Let's stop it all. OK? Think it will happen?

The problem you and your fellow dumbfucks have is that you think the poor a threat to you.

Not a threat. Criminals with their hands in working people's pockets. Glad I could educate you.

The threat is the guy you work for deciding to move the plant overseas, the guy you work for deciding that he needs more income and trimming the staff, the guy you work for deciding that you’ve outlived your usefulness if you’re injured on the job.

Two unrelated issues here ^^. Maybe if you weren't so scattered you could understand. First, Trump is bringing many of those jobs back to the US and second, there isn't an employee in this nation that isn't covered by some sort of workers comp disability insurance so your assertion that people injured on the job are left destitute is BS. Please educate yourself before running your ignorant mouth. Thanks.
