Irrelevant. You're dancing around answering me because you think the government should pay anyone who wants to quit their job. You wish it could happen for you because working hasn't gone so well for you.

You can't say those in jobs you don't like should be paid by the government while those in jobs you do like should have to work.
i didnt even know there was a question. not all jobs should be filled. sometimes its better to collect welfare than to do some jobs, like a wall st executive for example.

You just keep dancing, comrade. Nobody needs to work to get paid in your ideal world.

some jobs create more destruction for the world than anything of value. neoliberalism has been really about transfering wealth, not creating it

More dancing. More distraction about whether you like a job or not. You don't think anyone should have to work.

That's a bit harsh but I think you are on to something.

Good thing these protesters had the common sense to throw soda cans instead of mistakenly throwing hand grenades.
Says more about you, that you consider that common sense.
If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. And you’re a problem.

working has only worked out average for both of us considering my job right now is about as good as a ups delivery driver. but actually capitalism is bad for us because of global warming, democratic corruption, and everything else that goes with it.

You're doing just fine if that's true. But I doubt it is.


LOL. If only we could have Mao or Stalin, eh?!
if only we could have worker controlled cooperatives

why is it so hard to believe? are you saying capitalism increasingly provides low paying jobs?

Yeah, they were such a huge threat that their dumb homeless camp was removed. LOL

Who said that? UPS isn't a low paying job. Your job or lack thereof probably is.

The pay + benefits are unmatched. And you work your way up anywhere. I doubt the cooperatives you splooge over start their workers out at upwards of $100K a year + benefits + pension either.

Sure they are, comrade. I'm actually a multi-millionaire who plants trees and gives motivational speeches in my spare time. UPS is just for the exercise.

The internet is great, ain't it?!

30 to 40 bucks an hour is not 100k a year where im from. i used to make 30, thats 1800 after tax every 2 weeks. thats not 100k a year. you doubt that because you dont know anything anyways. you should be skeptical of the pension as employers will just as quickly take that away from you.
