A comment on Why Does Sweden Have So Many Startups?. Parent comment
Were I to quit my job tomorrow, I would not receive unemployment as this goes to only those who lose their job through no fault of their own.
Health insurance, even with ObamaCare, would be based on my last year's income taxes. Thus no health subsidies - 100% out of pocket.
Welfare is probably similar in most states. Section 8, the same. So unless I had a nice stash in the bank, I'd be homeless.
The one exception, I believe, would be SNAP benefits. So I guess I wouldn't starve.
