What do you think of people who spend their whole lives on gov assistance?

[FelixTheCat1919]

What are your thoughts on able bodied people spending basically their entire existence living primarily off of government handouts?

[WiseOldApe]

They mind be able bodied but they're not able minded.

That's my opinion and my experience.

[elterrible987]

they should be exterminated

[BraddlesMcGee]

What did they do before government assistance was a thing? I would imagine a small tribe isn't overly keen on carrying baggage.

They either sank or swim, and I reckon most of them either got jobs or at least did a lot of work helping support a family farm or something way back in the day. Nowadays they just play video games and fart around online all day.

[DustinTheHuss]

Well I've worked most of my adult life so of course I'm not going to like it, unless they have some terribly disability.

steal and beg - nobody in their right mind sits on government assistance if they are able to work, doing f*ck all.

The only reasonable people on welfare are those that are working for cash and taking what they can front the government - scummy, but you gotta respect the hustle/grind.

[Bodhy]

Govt assistance is like only $400 a week now, even accounting for the ridiculous cost of living.


I actually admire people who can be happy on such a literally, poverty-tier income. Literal poverty. My stipend alone 150% of that and that is nowhere near enough for me so I take extra work.


If someone can actually be content with utter peanuts, I admire it in some small way. I don't admire the leeching and lack of ambition, though.

How do you feel about people able bodied folks who are perfectly capable of working some sort of job who choose not to do so because they'd prefer to collect social security checks and various forms of welfare handouts because a doctor called them autistic back when they were children?

You'd be surprised what people can all get depending on where they live. In many blue states, they can get housing assistance, utility bills assistance, free food and supplies for their children if they have any, free food for themselves at food banks, free food stamps to sell off for drugs/cash, etc. all at once.

Don't forget the social security checks they get by trumping up their "disability" to be a bigger deal than it is. Extremely common with autists to be collecting ss checks their entire adult lives, ded fkn srs. That can easily be over a grand a month even in lower cost of living areas. Combine it with other forms of assistance, and you'd be surprised at how well some of them can manage as long as they keep their general spending habits under control.

LOL this.

I was out of work for a while because i litirally COULDN'T work due to health issues and now that I'm feeling better, I'm working on transitioning careers and working TWO jobs to make more money.

$400 a week isn't even enough to pay your rent, let alone to feed a healthy man's ego and desire to succeed.

[uneducated]

I'd like to see proof anyone actually does this. It's a nice myth billionaires use to make you hate the poor, but in reality, the handouts are paltry compared to cost of living. And frankly, if people are living that way, it is because society has alienated them and robbed them of hope and purpose.

[havoc00]

if you can legally exploit the system do it, corporations do it and get praised for doing so while handing the burden down to the tax payers

LOL this - in australia you get $900 per fortnight and some cheaper housing if you're lucky - then you go down to the local shops, pick a few items up that you need for food and part with $100.

Brah, most of these people who have autism or some chit are perfectly content to sit at home and play video games/dick around on the internet all day. And they're getting social security checks on top of the other chit you guys are talking about.

Are you referring to social security checks for people under retirement age--like those who have a disability. I may have to do that when I get down to end of tapering off of my psych meds, which I don't want to do, but I may have no choice.

I wouldn't expect my Dad to work. He can barely walk.

But if you're able-bodied I think you should work. Even when I retired I plan to volunteer in an animal shelter, which is "work". I volunteer at the animal shelter when I'm in between jobs.

[uhohspaghetteos]

Just fukking LMFAO if you're not NEETMAXXING in this clown world.

i could never volunteer at a animal shelter it would depress me too much to see them like that knowing i cant take them all in, if i won the lottery id def donate a lot to local shelters

That sounds like a typical 'late bloomer' who hasn't got theirr sh*t togehterr yet.

Very few able minded and mature people sit at home doing f*ck all, relying on government handouts and assistance for sustenance.

Heck even those who are not able bodied, yet have an able mind find ways to make money.

When I was a youngin at uni and receiving government benefits you best believe I was working retail and husting on the side (SRS).

It’s really, really hard. I have to mentally take deep breathes and say that I’m here to give them some happiness even if it’s just a few hours.

The exciting part is when you see them get adopted. The crappy part is when they’ve been abused or abandoned.

I’ve taken in 3 of them so that does happen.

Nothing against you not working as you’re a good guy. I’m speaking in general.

That’s awesome you would give money to shelters. If I’m rich I’d love to buy a house to care for a lot of them. It’s hard as diseases spread quickly. We had to constantly disinfect the cages.

yea I couldnt deal with all that emotional up and down esp knowing some wont ever get adopted and knowing I cant do anything to help. it would legit put me in a bad space, I do respect people who can volunteer and help dogs and like cancer kids and stuff.

There are upsides to sharing the same income amounts with lots of other people.

Meanwhile billionaires fraud hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars and you are okay with it, but depressed Joe schmo collects welfare and rots, and you're furious.

they also ask tax payers to subsidize the workers they hire because they dont offer a living wage or healthcare and tax payers pay for it lmao

[ChunkBuster]

Scum.

[Kormo]

What does this mean

Ssi is around 700 dollars. Lots of other people gets this same amount. There's balance and harmony in sharing the same with others.

Not hating those who wish to have more tho

I have an autistic cousin who hasn't worked more than about 20 hours a week in his entire adult life. He intentionally keeps his hours low because the government would slash/lower his social security checks (which he's received his entire adult life) if he actually earned more money through working. Dude lived with his mother and banked/spent that chit up until the day she died. This man has taken college courses and passed the damn things at one time (albeit on a super part-time basis for that, too) while claiming he wanted to become a psychiatrist one day, he is absolutely capable of working some full-time 40 hour a week job if he weren't such a lazy bastard.

Now he lives with his brother who keeps him on board because the social security checks help pay their rent. My other cousin (the brother who moved in to take over for their deceased mother) moved a Mexican gf in he met online from out of state. The Mexican gf has 3 kids, (all of whom she collects gov assistance on), none of them are his kids, and moved from a state with less social bennies to come here for increased state benefits plus cucking my dumbassss cousin's inheritance. The only one of the 3 who has worked at all in months is the austic dude who gets the social security checks as long as he keeps his work hours low.

Keep telling me about how these people aren't getting enough free chit lmao
