Message | Limiting the amount of time that people are guaranteed enough income to survive seems rather cruel to me. Even the best systems cannot guarantee that the unemployed will find work in a given amount of time. Unless businesses are forced to take on workers that are either redundant or dead weight, but the problems that creates with efficiency and with workers feeling like they don't have to put effort into their work, or even do their work at all(as the threat of being fired is essentially removed), are unspeakable. |

Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
