Right, and you also weasel out of recognizing that people aren’t always willing or able to spend their unemployment benefits in logical and/or maximally efficient ways. You keep saying things like
:
It's not always easy, and some people genuinely do have a tough time finding work. Some people don't interview well. There are programs that you can look at that help with this, but the bottom line is this.... It is always easier to get a job when you already have one. Get creative. Take the shittiest job you can find. Leave no stone unturned.
:
Shit is hard. I don't mean to take that away from anyone. And I'm not trying to diminish how difficult it is for those genuinely trying. But I've met a lot of people who milk the system. A lot. They exist. You should be as upset about that as I am, as they just make it so much more difficult for those genuinely seeking work to get by.
Do you not see how statements like these do an excellent job of handwaving the people who are genuinely trying or aren’t spending their money in maximally efficient and 100% logical ways? You spend a hell of a lot more time talking about the people “milking the system” and how it upsets you and how you think it’s not right; don’t you see how that equates to demonizing all unemployed people as a whole?
