Become homeless…become homeless?
Thankfully I live in a country with social safety nets and universal healthcare.
As someone who lives in the US, CHERISH THIS.
Which country is this that has no homeless?
There are people that choose to be homeless but there are countries where you have the right not to be homeless. In the country I live in (in central Europe) you can literally go to a facility that will give you a place to sleep and some food.
Also, to become homeless as a person that once worked is not that easy, you would have to deny multiple job offers (the state will go job hunting for you and present you with a few options). During that time you would still get unemployment money.
I mean many US States or regions are not that much different. There’s homeless shelters, and the state helps you find a job.

I currently live in Australia where with a 2 year trade cert your minimum wage goes up from $16 to $28, and I receive a fortnightly payment from the government that has just gone up to $917 with rent assistance while I’m looking for work, my only obligations are regular meetings with an employment services provider and recorded proof that I’m applying for 20 appropriate jobs a month. For comparison a full time job here can be expected to pay a minimum of about 52k a year.
While unemployed I also receive concession on public health services, discounts for pharmaceuticals, and various other social services.
Once I start work I can continue claiming payments up to the value of $1000 to assist with transitional costs, as well as being provided a stipend for new uniforms or equipment costs.
Good, don’t let conservatives and corporations take that away from you.
In some countries *cough* post-Soviet *cough* being pro-social is conservative. Sadly, most of those countries got their Putin.
You’re a software developer? Come to Germany, we need you! (not sponsored by german govt)
With a caveat that you should speak German otherwise you’re locked out of over 60% of positions. At least that has been my experience.
Well you should just speak a little bit German that should be enough for another 30%
Just ask them why they’re speaking German when America is why they don’t have to speak German.
Checkmate, libruls.
Oh no, there’s just the 40% jobs in good paying international mega corps left /s
My skills are a decade or so out of date. I’ve been relegated to “that computer guy” duties for family and friends.
Even better, our tech is also outdated (:
It ain’t much, but servicing fax machines is honest work…

It’s kinda sad. Low unemployment means bad efficiency and living conditions will be worse over all.
I dont get the last one
Unemployment hit record lows.
Oh, got it. People are juggling in between a plethora of low-paying jobs.
