I do agree that the system is flawed, but that doesn't make it inherently wrong. And social security is not the same thing as this. You will use all that money in your elderly years as long as you live long enough to see them. You will use that money and more. This money is money paid to you by working people so that you can survive, and find employment. Anything beyond that is entitlement theft, in my opinion.
And yes, I don't think you've tried hard enough. I'm sorry. But I truly believe that if you put the energy into getting a job that you put into your entertainment pursuits that you would have one, and this conversation wouldn't be happening.
Edit: So forcing employers to pay wages that will put them out of business to people who have no discernible skills for jobs that take no discernible skills to perform is the answer? That seems unlikely. If the reason you aren't getting a job is because you don't think jobs pay well then you truly are scum, and the fact that you're still alive is proof that the system is broken.
I like how you present the idea of "anecdotal" as meaning that it doesn't apply. It does apply. These people exist. By the hundreds of thousands. And yes, I was outraged that I had to go without for someone who doesn't lift a finger to help themself.
