THEY CUTTING OFF WELFARE

[Plutarch]

yeah, A link or some sort of reference would be nice.

This.

If it's true (whatever "they cutting off welfare" exactly means), then I don't think that's a good thing. I'm generally against the "welfare system," but cutting it abruptly is not the proper way to address the problem. Some people are very much dependent on welfare.

meh

an advanced capitalist society could not sustain itself without a welfare system

You keep on expressing your dislike of capitalism, and I keep on telling you that I believe that your understanding of capitalism is flawed. And this might be yet another example.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean by "advanced" and "welfare system," but I would argue that a capitalist society generally thrives well with a very limited "welfare system" or with no "welfare system" at all.

I believe that the kind of welfare system that currently operates in the United States is counterproductive in regard to the mitigation of poverty, the opportunity for social mobility, and the production of wealth.

Unfortunately or fortunately their is going to be a universal income policy

Eventually technology is going to leave us no choice.

fortunately? lol

Unfortunately because free money would make more people thralls of the government.

Fortunately because under the right circumstances they will be no other way to maintain a functional Society.

The utility, practicality or the morality behind a welfare system or a Universal income system. All depends on technological and social circumstances.

Perhaps. But I don't believe it. If I'm understanding you correctly, I think that you overestimate the power of technology. Technology won't leave us obsolete. It will create more alternative opportunities. Humankind and technology can coexist in productive, innovative ways, maybe ways we can't even imagine yet. Sure, jobs can be destroyed, but new jobs can also be created.

For every machine built that does a human job, there is a human that does maintenance or approves on that machine.

People need to stop blaming their complacency on machines.

 

[rebootx1]

But that machine takes the place of usually about 10 humans that's why it's profitable to get machines

 

[konceptjones]

Jobs r being lost everyday by computers, I wanna see how this turn out

somebody gotta fix those computers.

The value of that human labor will be drastically decreased because as that machines continues to be improved upon it will require less maintenance but will most likely increase production

I can't front when I'm in the grocery line doing the mental math of how much I'm about to spend and I see people pull out that Link card that shit be pissing me off. I don't know maybe because I come from an immigrant background and I have myself dug out of financial hard times I be like fuck them people. If I can sacrifice and hustle my way outta that shit so should they.

You thinking about that shit all wrong.

When I see that shit all I think of is damn I need to figure out a move to get me one of those.

My mother, grandmother and my woman mother used to be so happy at thanksgiving and christmas when I used to tell them I got food stamp cards. So they could get all the family dinner groceries from the food stamp card.

I could do no wrong for a 3month period every year!!

LLS

nah fam, you're thinking about it all wrong. We were gettin them shits when I got laid off and had just started my business. All I could think of was gettin off of that shit. I didn't even feel right pullin' out that card to pay for shit. Makes a man that's been taking care of his family by standing on his own two feel like a fuckin failure.

Nah b, I wanna stay as far away from one of them cards as I can.

And I don't see why people can't see that, and yes computers don't need the same amount of repairs as before. I remember computers use to get viruses like eve r 6 months, now tablets maybe need to just be restarted in that same time.

nah b, speak on what you know. I get paid from computers fuckin up. They're getting more complex, to where one fault can cause the whole shit to come crashing down.

 

[rebootx1]

U must stay in south where they got old as systems running windows 98, these new computers don't fuck up like that unless u om there watching Hella porn and most people got phones now to do that

 

[smp4life]

but those emails...

 

[fuc_i_look_like]

I hate people who get stamps. Im buying ramen noodles and they be Eating fillet minon. All while I'm working my ass off. Im about get it how you live but Damn...... when is enough, enough?

One of my homeboys was temporarily unemployed recently, went in the welfare office & exaggerated saying he was flat broke, living in his car and shit. They gave him $21 month of EBT lmao. Shits fucked up, but welfare don't benefit childfree ppl. But these broads with 7+ bastard kids be getting $400+ in EBT smh. America smh

They gave me $230 a month when I was down for a bit. Dude might have done something wrong.

Idk but I just think my state (NC) is broke as fuck, it seems hard as hell to get any type of assistance here. For example, unemployment benefits are pretty much non existent here.

 

[rebootx1]

Here ithey make u work for ebt, snap,wic, like a intern I said fuck that I start back hustling, had me dam near working a job just to get food stamps and it wasn't even that much

I've worked in shops where the machines would be down for 2 weeks to 2 months, or more. The cost of repairs, the loss production, the increased back log, the contracted deadline pushed back. Thats thousands to 10s of thousands they could be loosing by the hour. The loss would be worst without humans to pick up that slack.
