Nothing is easy.

no

They're bad programs

I don't see how conservative neoliberals don't mind that they're not getting their money's worth

AFAIK you get about $100 on top of the standard Newstart Allowance for whatever it is you have to do

and 'experience' with a small business that might not exist next week

i'm convinced they spend more on welfare administration than they can claw back

i suppose if you employ unemployed people to cut off welfare to other unemployed then you're doing something about some job problem in some marginally satisfactory way

then again they're fudging the numbers in the opposite way to how labor did

labor moved a bunch of newstart addicts onto disability

to claim they fixed unemployment

it's an extra $200/fortnight

so more than the difference you'd get for fully complying with work for the dole

There's a group called the Australian Unemployed Worker's Union (haha) and they explain it all from the perspective of someone going to one of these welfare administration/job centre places

Privatizing welfare administration is pretty stupid

Giving the contracts to Maximus is fucking inexcusable

Giving them to any foreign company is really dumb

'work for the dole'

bourgeois absurdism

destroy job market, put people on welfare to assuage public outrage, then slowly make them do sub-menial labor for even lower wages

and call it a charital venture

pc satan lost a valuable agent

yeah people think welfare is generous for some reason i still don't understand

when most people would rather be working

but have a dearth of opportunities

i've started doing a small amount of tutoring

i'm tutoring a black 7th grader who told me mlk jr was vice president when he was assasinated

oh

did you ask him where he heard that

no

i told him he wasn't

he didn't believe me

what do you tutor him in?

Muh great-grandfather as an officer in Royal Yugoslav Army

and this is my great-great-grandmother, who was Greek, this photo was taken in 1900 by some photographer from hague as it says on it's back

most handsome

when i see photos of my ancestors, they were all handsome, but mostly because all of them had neat hairstyles to the perfection, and dressed as sharply as they could afford

as all people back then

today: miscegenation, yoga pants, crappy hairstyles

ANUUUU
