If an able body person is unwilling to work, you’re not qualified to eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 . Get a job ! It’s not the government’s responsibility to feed you. Democrats promote laziness.
Feed a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for life. Probably the reason my grandfathers both loved fishing so much. They lived through the Great Depression & had families to feed. Nobody was going to feed their families for them if they were able-bodied. . Fresh fish was protein on the table for the family. One of my grandfathers lived walking distance from a river and fished every day that the weather allowed him to.
Just because a person is able bodied doesn't mean they aren't disabled. There's invisible disabilities like auto immune conditions and other illnesses by which can affect when you can work. You also might have more doctor appts than the rest and work today is very harsh if you aren't on call 24/7.
If our system is so reliant on this, it doesn't seem like it's a good system at all.
Oftentimes, it's not willingness to work that's the problem. The problem is how work hours don't conform with after school care hours.
If you don't have family or friends willing to watch your crotch goblins, you can't exactly finish work at 5pm and collect your crotch goblins from the child minder at 5pm.
@jarrod73 You weren't talking about them because you haven't fully thought through your argument. A majority of retired people (even in America where medical.care is not efficiently distributed) are perfectly capable of working.
Are you ready to give up your retirement and go pick tomatoes under the roasting sun for €2.50/hour before tax, or are you one of the many "all mouth and no substance"?
It's such fun selectively quoting from Scripture, isn't it? 😌
I suspect if you ever had to take responsibility for the inevitable consequence of your words and those who "shall not eat" all came round to die in your neighbourhood, you might suddenly find a renewed enthusiasm for government intervention!
@jarrod73 It also speaks volumes that you ignore the words of Jesus and find a single position attributed to Paul who never met Jesus and a text more likely written by someone else after Paul's own death based on the scholarship.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow What a pointless message. If a society makes full membership conditional on having a job, society must be prepared to support those who struggle to meet those conditions.
Just a fun little fantasy meme, since we are fantasizing...notice that "Work" is depicted as horrible, and the word "Concentrate" is spelled out in red, implying that any sort of work is like being in a "Concentration Camp."
