if you're abled bodied, and healthy, why should society bear a burden of giving you resources to live off long term?
To exist means to locate the resources to live (such as food, shelter, etc). These resources can no longer be foraged like in the days of old, and thus, the allocation of these resources must come from a mechanism we call market and employment today.
A social safety net is required, but only in so far as the time it takes to get yourself another job (any job - not just a preferred job). One should not be on social safety net permanently.
However, on the side of medical care, i do believe that universal medical care is more efficient, and cuts out as much middleman as possible.
Oh you mean get a job now when employers are just collecting resumes for “talent pipelines” they can hire from at some future date, or just to improve morale of their current overworked employees?
And what if you’re an able bodied caretaker for a family member who is ill, disabled, or just elderly?
Or the time it takes to rehabilitate somebody with a fairly severe musculoskeletal disorder, especially when they’ve otherwise had $100k of various scholarship money invested in them.
However, absolutely nothing like that exists, ask how I know.
I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence; does "means" here points to the expression of "requirement" or of "signification" ? (I am not a native speaker)
The markets" and all that - it's artifice. Artifice to keep you busy. The scarcity is manufactured to keep you from realizing there is plenty and most people shouldn't be working.
