    I mean, yeah, being required to do something or else you’ll be starving and homeless is pretty fucked up and worthy of a day being ruined.

      Its not fucked up at all. You’ll (the average person not someone with a disability preventing them from working) will always need to do something. Even welfare systems require you to do something or be kicked off.

        plenty of countries have welfare systems that don’t require anything to use, the incredibly small amount of “parasites” that will abuse these systems are essentially a rounding error.

        most people actually don’t mind working jobs, if it atleast feels like it’s their own choice to work it

        as a whole the US spends more time/resources trying to punish poor people than it would cost just to allow some poor people to abuse the system

          Which ones are those? Because as far as I’m aware welfare requires people to be looking for work
