The majority of people live with their parents until around 30 years old these days.
I think it's going to be hard for you to get your friends to care about these kind of things.
And never have a job?
You joke, but the avg American is underpaid or underemployed and is living paycheck to paycheck.
So yeah, it's how a lot of people are forced to live
I am not joking.
They have never had a job. They are not underpaid, they are not unable to get a job, they are losers…
Work sucks. If you don't have to, don't.
I'm typing this on my work break 45 past midnight. Despite frugal living I'm behind on my power bill.
I have little sympathy for people who are obsessed with making others work for the sake of it.
We should have had a 4 day work week, 4hr work day, in the 50s and 60s if labor union's weren't attacked by our government.
If the system wants workers, then that requires real incentives to make people want to do that
And I'm happy for the people who would otherwise be forced into slavery to stave off starvation and homelessness, who found a different way to survive.
BWAHAHAHa
Give me a break. These guys aren’’t living an alternate lifestyle.
They are fuck ups. They are mooches who are in desperate need of a kick in the ass, and ever day that kick in the ass is delayed means the kick will be even harder and their ability to handle it will decline.
I have known heaps of dudes like this and they aren’t victims.
I have no sympathy for people who don’t handle their own shit.
There are less jobs in the United States than there are working age people who can work.
So IDK what you want. If you think they should have a job how about you give them one?
The vast majority of people will need a UBI in the near future to prevent total economic collapse, and you aren't superior to the people who found an easier way than you to survive this economy.
