So the big financial snake oil salesment poink the economy being reliant on x% of unemployment. They also mandate that these people who MUST be on the dole for the good of the land be denigrated and starved.

I'm getting real sick of this omelas crap.

And don't even get me started on disability payments...

Disability payments being below the poverty line... It shouldn't be happening. And to make it even worse a lot of people on Jobseeker (even lower) should actually be on the disability payments but won't get approved. This country treats its most vulnerable people like shit.
