RE: Mark Zuckerberg: Free Money for Everyone (A Mark Dice Roast!)
This is a ridiculous idea, I live in the UK where we already have an overstretched benefit system that pays people to sit on their ass, some are unable to work and do genuinely need it but most are just freeloaders and will not go to work because they earn more in benefits.
If this were to be introduced many people will not see the point in working and the people who do work will not want to pay for the freeloaders that can't be bothered. It is a stupid idea ZUCKERBERG SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!
Are there decent paying jobs available for those people that you're talking about? Or is it like here in the U. S. where so many of the jobs that are available are part time minimum wage jobs that won't even pay the rent?
It's the same and that is a huge part of the problem, they get paid more through benefits than they can earn through working (especially if they have been out of work for a long time or have a lack of skills), therefore there is no incentive for them to go and work.
The minimum wage has been rising in the UK but so has inflation which cancels it out.
