>*They're not. They're offering them a decent job for a decent wage knowing that these people are totally unskilled.

That was neither a decent job, nor a decent wage. It was just a job and a wage they were forced to do in order to feed themselves, and under very bad conditions.

If a "totally unskilled" jobless person comes to me for money, I can offer him the chance dance, call me "master" and crawl at my feet and then give him $10.

Something which he might be forced to accept (hunger trumps pride).

That doesn't make my offer "decent" -- even if nobody else was willing to give him $10 anyway.

It's Wales. They have welfare for the unemployed to "feed themselves".

No, it's Germany -- RTFA.

I agree with you, but the article is about Wales
